Easy ways to connect with others as well as support. Grateful to have this as a guide! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your kind review, very much appreciated! We love helping gay and queer men realize their dreams of becoming dads whether through surrogacy, adoption or foster-adopt. ### 5/5 — Absolutely AMAZING! *2023-05-04* I’ve completed GWK Academy’s Adoption/Foster courses, as well as, their Surrogacy & IVF courses. This app is exactly what I was hoping it would be, and honestly, more! Researching agencies that support gay men, and single one’s at that, has not always been the most straightforward journey. GWK Academy has really become a one-stop resource for me. Its really helped paint a clearer picture on the many avenues toward fatherhood. I’m incredibly grateful that this app exists! Not only are the courses great, but, they’ve connected me with mentors who’ve gone through similar journeys that I’m about to embark upon. Their amazing willingness to volunteer their own time to share their stories and be true mentors along the journey, just shows their own love for helping others navigate what can be a complex process. I can’t thank them enough for sharing their experiences, and providing their thoughts and recommendations. Hearing their stories have helped me confirm for myself the path that I want to take, and has helped me see a clearer path forward. In its current state, it’s already an awesome app, but they keep making it even better by continually updating the app with new information. Thank you GWK Academy for bringing this app to life! I can’t recommend it enough! And, thank you for helping me navigate my journey! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your kind words about GWK Academy, Ryan. Our passion is helping other gay and queer men become dads, so it is our absolute pleasure to do what we can to support you throughout your journey to fatherhood. Can't wait to congratulate you on becoming a dad! ### 5/5 — Invaluable information for starting parenthood journey *2022-12-22, version 3.6.5* The information available on the GWK App was invaluable in helping us start our surrogacy journey. It spelled out all aspects we would have to consider in starting surrogacy in well thought out modules that were easy to digest at our own pace. GWK also has a great network of providers for every part of the surrogacy and IVF process. Extremely helpful! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your kind words regarding the GWK Academy app! We're happy to play a valuable role in your surrogacy journey. ### 5/5 — Great resource *2022-11-08, version 3.4.4* For a prospective gay dad like myself this is a great find.
