Single dad by choice Julien has 2 major takeaways from his experience becoming a parent through surrogacy:

🌟Do your research. There are a lot of players in the surrogacy game, so take time to fully vet your options.
🌟Reach out for support. Ask for help, talk to friends, join support groups, reach out to your Care Team!

After his challenging, nearly 3-year-long journey to parenthood, Julien was elated to welcome a happy, healthy baby girl Adele in February 2021. 💖As Julien says, “Even when it feels like it’s going to be forever, everything is temporary. Keep taking things one day at a time, and it will all fall into place.”

Julien’s story touches on the highs and lows of surrogacy, adjusting to life as a single dad, and advice for others in the LGBTQ+ community trying to build their family. Link in bio to read more!
