Show Notes Chapter Markers

Let's embark on a riveting and inspiring journey with gay dad Rodney Chiang-Cruise. You will hear how he and his partner navigated the intricacies of creating their family, their heart-wrenching losses during their surrogacy process, and their generous decision to donate sperm to assist their friends in starting their own families. 

In the second half of our conversation, we tackle the broad spectrum of options and roles in sperm donation and co-parenting. Rodney provides us with a first-hand account of his experiences as a known sperm donor in Melbourne, and the unique family dynamics it creates. We delve into the importance of open conversations, shared values, and fostering a supportive environment in a co-parenting arrangement. Tune in for a fascinating exploration of the changing world of family structures.
