Science confirms what many of us already know: LGBTQ+ families are thriving. 💛

Research spanning 50+ years consistently shows that children raised by LGBTQ+ parents often excel in areas such as emotional function, behaviour and cognitive functioning.

Swipe through to see what the research actually says 👉

Studies like these are not about comparison. They are about validating the right of millions of families to love and exist freely. 🌈

They also confirm that the biggest risk to all of us has always been division and stigma and never who or how we love. 💛

What do all of these questions have in common?⁉️

They minimise the parental role based on the route people took to parenthood.

Parents of children conceived through surrogacy or donor conception often face unique comments, questions, and assumptions about their family, genetics, and legitimacy.

We all deserve to make our own rules and boundaries around what we are willing to discuss.

For some, questions are more than welcome and conversation can create greater understanding. However, your delivery and wording can have an incredible impact.

Families created through fertility treatment are no less valid and should never be made to feel so. 💜

Did you know that our CEOs, Michael and Wes, first met at Birmingham Pride? 🏳️‍🌈

By complete chance, the two met at the festival in June 2012 and immediately knew they’d met the one for them.

Four months later, they were engaged, and later married in August 2014. 💒

It was 2015 that saw the beginning of their journey into egg donation and surrogacy, taking the first steps towards growing their family of three, including Wes’s daughter Katie (21), into a busy, beautiful family of 6 with the addition of Talulah (9), Duke (6), and Otto (8 months).

Pride isn’t just a month in the calendar. For our founders and many others in the LGBTQ+ community, it’s a celebration of identity and love, and a time to reflect on progress. 💭

Happy Pride Month everyone! 🌈 Let’s use this time to reflect, learn, and celebrate the beautiful diversity of people, couples, and families in our community. Here’s to championing love in all its forms! 💫

"There are certain women in this world who just know they can be a surrogate."

That was true of Sophie's best friend, Emiliana, and is true for women all over the world who choose to carry a child for someone else.

We understand that there are concerns around surrogate bonds and what it might mean for the long-term relationship with intended parents and children involved.

However, those who choose to become surrogates at My Surrogacy Journey are fully aware of the role they play in giving the gift of parenthood.

When surrogacy is approached with clarity and respect, there are no blurred lines: just a joint commitment to creating a family. 💛

If you've been considering being a surrogate yourself, we'd love to talk to you. Book a free chat 💬: https://bit.ly/4edyURl

Today, we’re chatting with Kay, our Head of Global Strategy, Policy and Ethics, about the difference between gestational and traditional surrogacy. 🤰

It’s an important distinction, with each type of surrogacy differing depending on the existence of a genetic link to the surrogate.

At My Surrogacy Journey, the journeys we support are gestational, meaning the intended parents who embark on our pathways are either using their own gametes or have sought out donor eggs or s***m to create their embryos. 🧬

This then means that surrogates supporting them on this journey do not possess the DNA of the child they are carrying, which is often a more popular choice for both surrogates and intended parents.

You don’t have to be an MSJ member to access our resources. 📚

We have a series of podcasts and YouTube videos mapping out topics like legal considerations, ethics, clinical information and more, as well as personal stories from intended parents and surrogates who have already walked the path you’re considering.💭

We also host a series of Instagram lives, webinars and in-person events open to anyone wanting to speak with our expert team one-to-one before taking informed steps forward.

The information is out there so you never have to navigate this chapter alone. 🤗

In 2015, our founders, Michael and Wes, began a surrogacy journey of their own.

That path led them to two incredible surrogates, the first named Caroline, who is the reason Talulah (9) and Duke (6) could be brought into the world and this loving family.

It was on their first two surrogacy journeys with Caroline that Wes and Mike grew to see how beautiful surrogacy can be and how the bonds forged on this journey are unlike any other. 🔗

It takes an ecosystem of incredible people to make surrogacy happen. Shoutout to Caroline, her partner Dave and the rest of her family for all they have brought to our founders' lives. 💜

Did you spot us at The Fertility Show 2026? 💫

This weekend was all about education for us at My Surrogacy Journey. We spoke with a whole host of people - some seriously considering a surrogacy journey of their own, some with curiosity about how the process works, and others in the fertility space doing great work to support intended parents. 👨‍👩‍👧

It was also an opportunity to catch up with many of our partners, including the incredible team at Sapyen 🤝

If you saw us at the show, thank you for coming to learn more about what we do. We hope you learned something new and enjoyed our sleep packs as a reminder to take some time to look after yourself!

Thank you also to the MSJ team for taking the time to champion what we do this weekend and to for bringing us all together. 🤍
