If you’ve started researching biological family building options, chances are you’ve probably already realized that the process can be rather overwhelming—and potentially costly! Many LGBTQ parents-to-be consider using a known donor to help build their family, like a close friend or even a relative not linked to the genetically-intended parent (more on that later). My @QueerForty article covers 5 things to consider when using a known donor: queerforty.com/5-things-to-co… #drleondires #lgbtqfamily #modernfamily #gaydad #LGBTQfertilitydoctor #DonorConceptionJourney #DonorConceptionCommunity

In celebration of Pride Month, I’ve shared my own surrogacy journey with @ConceiveAble. “It’s a personal passion to help move the needle for the LGBTQ+ community to be able to have children that are an expression of somebody's love for their partner. I’m part of the community and I understand how hard it is to get started and there's hundreds if not thousands of questions and decisions to make.” Listen to my journey: youtube.com/watch?v=HgI8KN… #drleondires #lgbtqfamily #modernfamily #gaydad #LGBTQfertilitydoctor #DonorConceptionJourney #DonorConceptionCommunity #conceivabilities

What should a single male or gay couple expect as they move forward with a family building journey? Find out in the second video in my Ask Me Anything Q&A series: youtu.be/OpQB3L2E138 When it comes to "everything related to surrogacy,” I am not just the doctor, I have been the patient. My husband and I had many questions and decisions to make during our process of having our two children through surrogacy.  No matter where you are on the surrogacy journey or if you just want to learn more about me, ask me anything. Send your questions via DM or post them in the comments. I'll post my responses on IG. #drleondires #FamilyBuilding #buildingyourfamily #infertility #lgbtq #gaydads #DonorConceptionCommunity #BecomingAParent

youtube.com/watch?v=wt5iUn… This webinar delves into the topic of surrogacy and egg donation for LGBT+ intended parents. Brian Rosenberg (@gayswithkids) and I, along with Chris Gao from @family_source, provide insightful answers to various questions. We explore the decision between fresh or frozen eggs, the choice between open or closed donation, how to talk with your kids about where they came from, and most importantly, how to start the process. #drleondires #LGBTQFamily #ParenthoodJourney #lgbtqfamily #modernfamily #gaydad #LGBTQfertilitydoctor #gayswithkids
