With a new baby at home and a docuseries and scripted dramedy in the works, the family shares what this exciting time has been like for them.
When you’re a kid, becoming a parent seems like a natural stage of progression that can and will happen eventually. Until then, you play make believe and dream up a house full of kids that’s overflowing with a whole lot of love. But the reality is, becoming a parent isn’t always that simple. And for same-sex couples, it means relying on fertility clinics, sperm or egg donors, a surrogate or adoption agencies to make the dream a reality. Put simply, it’s largely out of your hands.
Matthew Eledge and Elliot Dougherty knew they were destined to be dads, but figuring out how they would make it happen was the hard part. “It was intimidating to admit that we wanted a family, because we knew we would have to rely completely on others to make that dream come true,” Dougherty tells The Bump. “Allowing others to help you is so vulnerable, and isn’t easy to do, but it encourages you to recognize the immense love and support that surrounds you.
With the help of Matthew’s 61-year-old mother, Cecile, as a surrogate, and Dougherty’s sister, Lea Yribe, who donated her eggs, the couples’ happily ever after came when their daughter Uma Louise was born in March. If not for the couples’ passion to be fathers, Cecile’s longing to see her son happy, and Yribe’s selfless act of giving, Little Uma would still be but a dream.
