Twenty tabs open at midnight, and every agency telling you their route is the right one? Shaun Thomas founded The Surrogacy Father, an independent surrogacy consultancy based in Ireland, to help gay couples and single men from the UK, Ireland, and across Europe compare international surrogacy options, including the US, Canada, and Mexico City. Together you work out which agencies and clinics to shortlist, what it will really cost, how insurance works, how legal parenthood works back home, and which questions to ask before you sign anything. Support starts with a free 15-minute call.
Shaun Thomas is a dad of three through international surrogacy and egg donation, so he knows the journey from the inside: the late-night research, the costs, the cross-border legal steps and the waiting. He’s also a senior clinical pharmacist in London & Dublin, and brings a healthcare professional’s eye to clinics and treatment plans. His own surrogacy story features in Audrey Ward’s book The Waiting Room.

Additional Policies / Clarifications: As a dad of three through surrogacy, I know how much there is to think about—and how personal every decision feels. The Surrogacy Father offers independent guidance and practical support to help you understand your options and feel better prepared for the decisions ahead.
Whether you’re just starting to explore or already on your journey, you can ask questions openly, take time to reflect and choose the providers that feel right for you. There’s no pressure to commit to a particular agency, clinic or programme.
We’ll agree what your support includes and what it costs before you book. Fees cover my consultancy and support; costs charged by clinics, agencies, lawyers and other providers are separate.
My role is to help you make informed choices and prepare for conversations with your specialists. I don’t provide surrogate or donor matching, negotiate surrogacy agreements, or replace professional legal, medical or immigration advice.
Every journey is different, so particular outcomes, costs or timelines cannot be guaranteed. What you can expect is a clear explanation of the support I offer, honest conversations and respect for your decisions and privacy.
