Are you and your partner looking to start your journey towards parenthood? With the advances in reproductive technologies, there are now many options available for same-sex couples who aspire to have families of their own. If you are considering embarking on a journey towards parenthood, hopefully this story will inspire you to do so.
Meet Johnny and Sebastian. This New York couple has been married for over 7 years. Since 2015, they’ve tried many times to have children through third-party reproduction. After 3 previous attempts, Johnny and Sebastian found a surrogate through Simple Surrogacy. On February 13th, 2018, their surrogate mother, Holly, gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby boy. An early Valentine’s Day gift for this couple, Vaughn Everett Barleben-Lee was born 7 lbs and 13 ounces — this little love bug had truly changed their lives forever.
We’ve reach out to Johnny and Sebastian to see what their experience has been like during the first two months of fatherhood.
