The Unexpected Journey to Pregnancy

The Queer Family Podcast | S13 Ep 1 |  Lamalani and Laracarina 100% knew they didn’t want kids- until Lamalani came home one day and changed her mind. What followed was a wild fertility journey during Covid that included a tumor surgery, a difficult donor search, RIVF, IVF, a pregnancy that lasted way too long, a difficult birth, and a random and altruistic decision to pay it forward and do it all again as a surrogate for their gay male friends.   "The donor search is such a bizarre experience."

Om Podcasten

The show all about family; but with gay! Queer mom, Jaimie Kelton, humorously goes in-depth with weekly LGBTQIA+ guests about their families; how they made them, and how they show up in a world that wasn't necessarily designed for them. The mission is to normalize, elevate and celebrate, while confirming that we're just like other parents, trying not to yell at our kids when they still haven't put their shoes on and we're 25 minutes late for school. The end result is a compelling podcast that amusingly explores the age-old question: what's it like to live as an LGBTQ family in a world built for the straights?
