We feel so incredibly lucky and blessed,” say Sydney couple Adam and David Haysom-McDowell, who became ‘Daddy and ‘Pappa’ to baby Maya last November.
Together for decades, they were married in New York City in December 2012. After many years of trying to decide if starting a family was right for them, a female friend offered to be their surrogate.
As NSW is currently reviewing the surrogacy legislation which currently allows couples such as Adam and David to become parents, Same Same chatted to them about the legals, logistics and love involved in their surrogacy journey.

Adam: We’ve been together 22 years now, and it was probably within five years of being together that we started to discuss having kids one day. But back then it was all a bit daunting and there wasn’t a lot of information about it. You know, it’s much harder for two guys to have a family than it is for two girls.
It wasn’t until about three years ago that we thought, well, being a little bit older now, if we really want to do this then we’d better start.
