Nearly half of the families we help at NWSC are gay dads, and we love seeing them realize their dream of parenthood through surrogacy. We’ve seen some adorable gifts from our surrogates to their gay intended families, and here are some of our favorites. If you have more ideas for gifts for gay dads-to-be, drop them in the comments!
