Oh, Jay, congratulations!!! Little Riley is gorgeous! I love that you have shared this journey with your community here - I feel like an auntie!
I have a question, and I wonder if I am speaking for more members than myself. I feel like I want to send a baby gift, but know you will be inundated with enough stuff from your loving family.
Is there a charity that is special to you, that I could make a donation to in Riley's name?
Congrats, Proud Papa!
and Kudos to your surrogate! What a precious gift she had given, by going through a pregnancy.
Save the Children foundation - the country’s 2nd largest nonprofit. Helping to overcome poverty and hunger for the little ones. This is such a great idea Dawn!
Congrats Jay. She is beautiful. When my 1st child - my only daughter, was born my entire world changed. I cannot remember a happier time in my life. She grew up to teach her old man so much about this world that I thought I already
knew.Let’s make this a better world for Riley and all the other children coming into this world. A world of peace and tolerance. Very happy for you Dad.
Mazel tov! Welcome, Riley! Go on paternity leave, Jay, and nap when Riley sleeps. I send my best wishes for your future together- she’s so fortunate to be so wanted and loved!
Please, at some point and when you are ready, share the experience of surrogate birthing. It had never before occurred to me that a single perspective dad was possible via surrogate. To me, this is an important element of enlightened 21st century possibilities. It speaks to cultural transformation. You are so fortunate in so many ways! Relish it all!
So very happy Riley arrived, even if she took her time! (Remember this trait when she is a teen!) After I saw your post last night, I browsed through my copy of Ma in All Caps as a tribute to her on this special occasion. Congratulations!

And if the GOP has their way, this option will be taken away. 😡😡
If the GOP has its way, WE’LL be taken away.
Enjoy fatherhood!
So so so many congratulations!!!
Congratulations, I love that proud and happy dad smile.
