Are Embryos without nationality?
The weird bureaucratic hoops we all have to jump through
New Beginnings & Community Power
Hey fam! We’re Richard & Julio—two dads on a journey through IVF, surrogacy and all the messy, magical moments that come with building a family. In this week’s episode of IVF Daddies we talk about change, hope and the weird bureaucratic hoops we all have to jump through. Think of this newsletter as your cozy corner of the internet—a place to laugh, vent and feel seen.
🌱 Our Journey & You
Our lives have been a whirlwind lately: new careers, a brand‑new website, and fresh energy to connect with you. We’ve learned that navigating fertility isn’t just about science; it’s about heart. That’s why our site isn’t just a blog. It’s a community space where your stories matter. Because when we share the highs and lows of IVF and surrogacy, we make the road a little easier for everyone.
⚠️ The Legal Maze
Surrogacy and IVF laws in Europe are a patchwork of what, wait, why?. Some countries embrace us; others make it almost impossible—especially if you’re in a same‑sex relationship. We break down why these rules matter and how they affect real families. But don’t worry, we won’t drown you in legal jargon—we’re here to make sense of it together and push for change.
🎾 Women Leading the Charge
If you think reproductive rights only concern parents, think again. Athletes, artists and activists are rewriting the rules. Recently the women’s tennis community took a stand, protecting players’ rankings when they freeze their eggs or choose IVF. That’s huge! It shows that women’s health and careers don’t have to be at odds. Let’s celebrate and learn from these wins.
“Hope is a rebellious act. When we tell our stories, we plant seeds for change.”
