This week, Sara & Vee talk with Jarret Zafran, attorney, father through surrogacy and egg donation, and Founder & Executive Director of Brownstone Surrogacy. After navigating his own journey to parenthood, Jarret left WilmerHale and “Big Law” to launch what he wished he'd had: a surrogacy agency rooted in compassion and personal connection for everyone involved.
It’s a conversation about parenting roles, rewriting expectations, and why intentionality matters in every part of building a family.
In this interview:
🏛️ From politics to law to pandemic parenting & launching a surrogacy agency
🍝 “Food Daddy,” “Laundry Daddy,” & parenting when there’s no default
👨👨👧 Fatherhood in a Mother-dominated ecosystem
💼 How men may simply expect to “have it all”
🗓️ Why there’s no such thing as an “oopsie” surrogacy baby
