About The Surrogacy Father

Meet Shaun – Surrogacy Consultant & Dad of Three

I’m Shaun, founder of The Surrogacy Father and a proud dad to three children, all born through egg donation and surrogacy. Like many intended parents, my partner Paul and I started with more questions than answers — unsure where to begin, who to trust, or what challenges we might face.

Our journey wasn’t simple. All three of our children were born via emergency C-section, and our boys spent time in NICU. Yet every hurdle was worth it. The moment we held our children, we knew the journey had been worth every step.

Why I Started The Surrogacy Father

I founded The Surrogacy Father to provide the kind of support we wished for at the start: clear, impartial, and supportive guidance from someone who has lived through surrogacy. I don’t represent clinics or agencies — my role is to walk beside you with honesty, warmth, and real-world experience.

Professional Background in Healthcare

I’m a clinical pharmacist with a Master’s degree and postgraduate training at University College London and King’s College London. For more than a decade, I’ve worked at one of London’s most prestigious teaching hospitals, and I remain active in practice today.

This medical and ethical foundation underpins my surrogacy consultancy — ensuring that every conversation is guided by safety, transparency, and compassion.

Resources, Guides & Surrogacy Education

Beyond consultancy, I write guides to make surrogacy more accessible:

• 12-Part Essential Surrogacy Guide – a step-by-step overview
• Country-Specific Deep Dive Guides – covering laws, costs, and options worldwide
• Author to blogs, international articles, and contributor to The Waiting Room (HarperCollins, 2026)

I’ve also spoken at major fertility events including Wish for a Baby, The Fertility Show, and Growing Families, and shared insights through podcasts, The Independent, MSN, and more.

Trusted Networks & Ethical Partnerships

I’m proud to be connected with organisations that promote safe, ethical, and inclusive family building, including:

• British Fertility Society (BFS)
• Donor Conception Network (UK)
• ESHRE – European Society of Human Reproduction & Embryology
• SEEDS – Society for Ethics in Egg Donation & Surrogacy

I also collaborate with Fertility Network UK, NELFA, Proud 2 Be Parents, LGBT Great, and Men Having Babies. Together, we work toward a future where surrogacy is transparent, ethical, and inclusive.

Europe’s Leading Independent Surrogacy Consultancy

Today, The Surrogacy Father has become one of Europe’s leading independent surrogacy consultancy platforms. Built on real experience, trust, and advocacy, I’ve developed relationships with top clinics, agencies, lawyers, cryologistics providers, and donor banks worldwide.

I continue to review providers carefully to ensure the families I work with receive the highest standards of care and compassion.

At the Heart of It All: Family

Despite the professional work, I’m still a dad who remembers what it felt like to long for a child and wonder if the dream would ever come true.

Through The Surrogacy Father, my mission is to give intended parents confidence, clarity, and reassurance — helping you take the next step toward building the family you’ve been waiting for.
