Assisted Reproductive Treatment Families

"The Making Of" is so exciting in the world of family building, especially for the LGBTQ+ community. Gone are the days of the cookie cutter families and the future of "Family" is unlike anything we have seen and luckily, we have creators like Dave who are pioneering inclusion. This journal is so important because it allows future parents to take control over their process. Building a family has so many moving parts and can be incredibly overwhelming, to the point that potential parents second guess if they can ever make it happen! This journal is a well-thought out, all-inclusive place to educate, as well as keep memories for years to come. I would recommend this to all my clients or anyone who is even considering building their family"

There has never been a way for gay couples to gather their thoughts and plans around a surrogacy journey... until now.

Think of this as your guide through the complicated world of surrogacy. Insightfully organized and carefully scrutinized by experts, this journal could only have been written by one who has experienced the process firsthand.

Combining the practical with the emotional, Dave Leong aims to help you communicate as a couple while planning for the most incredible project you will ever undertake. Knowing that everybody learns, works and plans differently, the information and journaling pages are presented in a range of formats to keep you on track, engaged and orderly.

By distilling his own journey with his husband into practical, measured and realistic steps, Dave hopes to show prospective parents-to-be one thing:
It's possible to have a child through surrogacy.
