Gay male couples typically face a more expensive journey to become parents, as surrogacy or adoption are their primary choices.
requiring employers of a certain size to offer fertility benefits often leave out coverage for third-party reproduction such as a gestational carrier or the purchase of donor eggs or donor sperm.
Will Porteous, 39, became a father through gestational surrogacy before joining Maven as its chief growth officer. He and his husband tabulated their parenthood path cost at close to $175,000. "No employer in the entire country that I'm aware of offers anything greater than $75,000 a year, and so that only covers a portion."But Porteous, who lives in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, said full coverage isn't necessarily what LGBTQ+ couples want to see.
Fertility benefits manager Carrot said it has around 800 corporate clients and 80% of those offer their employees a benefit for surrogacy. "We have seen an increase in surrogacy claims year over year at about 250%," said CEO Tammy Sun. While $10,000 was a small dent in the couple's $220,000 surrogacy journey, Rivel said it's better than nothing. "It's really admirable that they have it," he said. "I think it's a really smart benefit for recruiting more people."Adoption is certainly another family-building option. "It's not for everyone ... it's not without its costs, and the laws vary by state," Resolve's Campbell said.
