Episode 55: The Danish, The US, And The Intricacies of International Surrogacy - Kaspar Arianto
For Kaspar and his husband starting a family meant the world. Literally. They travelled from Denmark to the US to fulfill their dreams of having twins. Coming from a country were surrogacy is considered a legal grey zone, planning their journey went beyond budgeting for immense economic and emotional costs. They also had to factor in potential legal backlash, insurance problems and one looong flight home.

• How surrogacy is viewed in Denmark. And most of Europe, for that matter.
