The Family Source Surrogacy Podcast offers a deep dive into everything associated with Surrogacy. Every Family has a story, this is ours.

Paul and Emilio met at a Pride celebration over 9 years ago and the idea of having a family was one that was discussed early on. The surrogacy process is not legal in Spain, so when the time came that they were ready to begin their journey, they reached out to Family Source and instantly knew they were in the right hands. “The universe was shining on us!” Paul says.
