New ⁦@BrainzMagazine⁩ article: How to Have an Ethical International Surrogacy Journey https://t.co/JrBst9452e

The relationship infants have with their parents is foundational to all future relationships they have with others and even themselves. New research sought to evaluate the early attachment of gay parents in a well-designed clinical study. https://t.co/HhlqdSOVSA

I was interviewed in this article which presents a more balanced discussion of surrogacy. Much better than the UN report as this actually looks at the science and data. We need more research and that should be the basis for regulation and discussion. https://t.co/3yGVt18er5

I have never been a fan of Gilmore Girls, and I can confidently say I never will be. Why? Because Gilmore Girls hates surrogacy. https://t.co/bh7vQHzqaP

Italy is the only country in the world that bans international surrogacy. How did Italy get to this extreme of anti-surrogacy? Based on my recent trip, I think it started about half a millennium ago. https://t.co/KAjY6iRcle

A brief description of the days before, during, and after our second embryo transfer as international gay intended dads. https://t.co/D0xix6Xf5u

[Bryan McColgan, MD @GayDadReporter]

My husband and I are back home in Stockholm and severely jet lagged. It was an intense trip to California for our first embryo transfer. During the trip, I kept a diary to capture how I/we were feeling for this historic stage in our journey. https://t.co/yUpJsp1uyz

Ever get anxious that things are ‘too good to be true?’ It turns out that experience is called ‘happiness anxiety,’ and I have developed it during our surrogacy journey. Read more here. https://t.co/YYynk1f7EF

[Bryan McColgan, MD @GayDadReporter]

We are finally at the stage in our journey where we are reviewing the contract between us and the surrogate. In this article, I share personal reflections and guidance on the surrogate contract for other gay intended dads on their journey in the U.S. https://t.co/MWlsTpsmF7

A recent study used real world data from Ontario, Canada, to compare mental health diagnoses during and after pregnancy between unassisted deliveries, IVF, and gestational carriers. I have several issues with the publication that I will share. https://t.co/cSL3UbjVpP

Is the experience of being a surrogate the same in the United States as it is in Canada, the United Kingdom, India, or Thailand? Read to find out more. https://t.co/nWgHcPnU7V

A truth known to parents through adoption is closer to being realized by parents through assisted reproduction: Genetic contribution does not make a parent. https://t.co/mOGy2TXxJl

[Bryan McColgan, MD @GayDadReporter]

We think we found ‘the one,’ as in the surrogate who will help us to finally become parents. We don’t want to jinx it given our history of matching and unmatching with previous surrogates, but this one feels ‘right.’ https://t.co/N1F9wI1VtK

[Bryan McColgan, MD @GayDadReporter]

We met another amazing potential surrogate. Having two previous matches fall through, we are being extra careful in thinking of all the possible complications of a journey with her. I review the major challenges we could face in this article. https://t.co/Ob0NnDQbqu

Sperm is important when it comes to rainbow family building, and BabyMoon Family is here to talk about how you can improve your sperm health and fertility as a gay intended dad. https://t.co/dn6H8qjPfR

[Bryan McColgan, MD @GayDadReporter]

Following my article giving uncomfortable praise to RFK Jr., I wanted to write about the impact of lower sperm and testosterone levels on gay intended dads. This article looks at fertility for gay men, with implications on cost and embryo generation. https://t.co/ZrOrmoLREF
