It’s practical, honest, and such a good reminder that queer families are some of the most intentional families out there.

We get into egg donors, surrogates, parentage orders, second-parent adoption, state laws, and all the red tape no one fully prepares you for.
I’m talking with attorney and dad Alexander Paykin about his family’s surrogacy journey, what surprised them most about the process, and the legal realities queer families really need to understand before getting started.
New episode out today!
If surrogacy is part of your path to parenthood — or even just a possibility — this episode is such an important listen.
Apparently the correct place for podcast awards… is the bedroom. My wife is thrilled. Truly thrilled.

I" came out after marriage."
Today’s episode is a beautiful conversation about choosing honesty over comfort, co-parenting after coming out, raising a trans teen, and how one family turned storytelling into a sacred space during big change.
This one is about truth.
It’s about empathy.
It’s about not living in a lie.

“I came out after marriage.”
Today I’m talking with Hilde about coming out later in life, leaving a kind man, raising a trans teen in rural America, and how making art together quite literally helped hold her family through transition.
Some families grow through IVF.
Some through donor conception.
Some through adoption.
Some through surrogacy.
Every path is valid. Every path deserves support.
If surrogacy is part of your story, Be Parent Surrogacy was built with LGBTQ+ intended parents in mind.

In this episode, Ranae shares her family’s story, the gaps in Irish law that continue to harm same-sex families, and the creation of Equality for Children — a movement centered on one simple truth:
this is about children’s rights.
So she fought back.
Ranae von Meding learned at eight months pregnant that after giving birth in Ireland, her wife would not be legally recognized as their child’s parent. Married. Reciprocal IVF. Her wife’s eggs. Still not protected.
So she fought back.

This conversation was recorded in 2020 and originally released under the show’s former name, If These Ovaries Could Talk — but the reality it exposes is still painfully current.

Anne & Jaimie on infertility, IVF, donor sperm, and building a lesbian family—before there was a roadmap, before the language, before we knew this show would still be here all these years later.
This episode is messy, honest, and exactly where it all started.
Before The Queer Family Podcast had its name, there was just us—trying to make a family and looking for stories that sounded like ours.
We’re re-sharing our very first episode:
LGBTQ Family building is emotional.
It’s expensive.
And it deserves more than a checklist.
Naia’s elevator pitch says everything about why Be Parent exists — and who it’s for.
Full conversation out now.

How international surrogacy works (including Mexico)
• What intended parents should ask before choosing an agency

In our Season 20 finale, I’m joined by Naia, founder of Be Parent Surrogacy, to talk about international surrogacy, real costs, quiet waiting periods, and why transparency and care matter at every step.
🎧 New Episode Out!
Surrogacy can feel overwhelming — emotionally, financially, and logistically.
So what does it look like when an agency actually shows up for LGBTQIA+ families?
15 minutes into my interview with Naia and I realized… I never hit record.
Mama needs a break.
Shoutout to Naia for being kind, patient, and understanding while I regrouped.
Rookie moves.
Thank god for kind guests.
Season 20 finale drops Monday. Somehow..... 🎙️😵💫
