Brown, are expecting a baby through surrogacy. Underwood has developed a podcast titled &#8220;Daddyhood&#8221; as he has been seeking fatherhood for the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of referring to the egg supplier as an &#8220;egg donor&#8221; is misleading. The eggs are actually sold, not donated, which is against U.S. laws prohibiting the sale of human tissue.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Men&#8217;s Health, Underwood stated that he and his husband sought an &#8220;egg seller&#8221; who is &#8220;deep and cool,&#8221; believing in nurturing the child with love. This completely diregards childrens need to have a mother, even with supposed &#8220;love&#8221; from two &#8220;dads&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The process of looking through a catalogue of women to find an egg donor, is comparable to prostitution. The health risks involved for the surrogate following egg retrieval also should not be overlooked.<\/p>\n<p>This process prioritizes the interests of everyone except the child, who will lack connection to their biological mother and be separated from the surrogate immediately after birth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former &#8220;The Bachelor&#8221; star Colton Underwood, who publicly identified as gay in 2021, has announced that he and his husband, Jordan C.
