The Surrogacy Father
Supporting You On Your Surrogacy Journey
The Surrogacy Father is Europe’s leading independent surrogacy consultancy, founded by Shaun Thomas, a gay dad from the UK who built his family through surrogacy and egg donation. After navigating the challenges of international surrogacy himself, Shaun created The Surrogacy Father to provide clear, impartial, and experience-based guidance to individuals and couples considering this path to parenthood.
Unlike agencies, clinics, or law firms, The Surrogacy Father is completely independent. This means intended parents receive honest, unbiased advice—free from the pressure of being steered toward a particular destination, programme, or provider.
