Скачать или смотреть The Unseen Love That Builds Families: LGBTQ+ Stepparents Let Get Louder So We Can Find Community

In this heartfelt episode of IVF Daddies, Julio Gaggia opens up about being an LGBTQ+ stepparent in a family built through surrogacy. Alongside Richard Westoby, they explore what it really means to love, parent, and belong when the world doesn’t have a roadmap for your family.

You’ll hear raw conversations about:
• The invisible emotional work of LGBTQ+ stepparents
• Parenting without legal titles or traditional labels
• Grief, fear, and exclusion in blended queer families
• The role of therapy and communication in healing
• Surrogacy myths, stigma, and outdated legal systems

This story is for anyone who’s ever felt left out of the family photo — and for anyone learning how to show up with love when it’s complicated.
