Is single dad a thing?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

In the US, an estimated 5% of children are being raised by single dads<\/a>. It’s also an increasingly popular choice for dads all over the world as told by this beautiful article in The Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

More men than ever are choosing to become parents without marriage or a life partner. Some are choosing adoption or the foster care system, while others choose surrogacy. Whatever the path, the commonality is men who have always seen themselves as fathers<\/a>. We’ve come a long way in understanding that fathers are just as capable of raising children as mothers. Men are embracing this moment.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For men wishing to create or complete their families through surrogacy, they have the option of traditional surrogacy<\/a> – <\/strong>egg donation<\/a> from a surrogate’s only eggs which is fertilized through intrauterine insemination (IUI) or gestational surrogacy<\/a> – <\/strong>surrogacy in which an egg donor provides the egg and an intended father provides the sperm or a sperm donor is used. The surrogate is then impregnated via In vitro fertilization (IVF<\/a>). While a single intended father may choose sperm donation or to use a donated embryo (both situations where he is not biologically the father to the child(ren)), given the laws governing parentage, this path should be thoroughly vetted with a qualified Assisted Reproduction Attorney.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As with all persons seeking surrogacy, single dads should discuss options with a qualified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Assisted Reproduction Attorney.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
