Dedicated to LGBTQ+ Assisted Reproduction and Rainbow Families

Meet the Founder

Bryan McColgan is a U.S. board certified endocrinologist and internal medicine physician who completed his undergraduate and fellowship training at Stanford University and his medical school and residency at Columbia University.

As a gay man, he has been active in LGBTQ+ groups in school and professionally, and he is currently on his first journey to fatherhood through surrogacy in California with his husband.

When starting his own journey, Bryan found there was an incredible amount of negative and incorrect information online regarding IVF, surrogacy, and what it is really like to be a LGBTQ+ identified parent.

Bryan started BabyMoon Family to provide objective, actionable news and information for queer intended and current parents that allow them to understand the complex and changing landscape of assisted reproduction and queer parenthood.

What is a Babymoon?

A babymoon is the honeymoon-like vacation that intended parents take before the birth of their child.

This website is called BabyMoon Family because we want to provide the most current scientific, regulatory, and personal information for queer people who are having children through assisted reproductive technology (ART) so they can really enjoy the process.

This time of family planning can be challenging from a logistical, financial, and emotional perspective, and the hope is that BabyMoon Family can provide essential information and support to help queer intended parents enjoy the journey.
