When Ben Was Born in 2019 Andy Cohen Said Surrogacy Can Be ‘Expensive & Complicated’
Shortly after Cohen’s son was born, he told The Today Show why he decided on surrogacy over adoption.
“It was always in the back of my head, and I’d be at friends’ houses and they’d be tucking in their kids and I was like, ‘I need this in my life,’” said on The Today Show. “I was getting to a point in my life where I was looking at where am I going and where am I headed and what do I want for the rest of my life?”
One of the Today Show co-hosts, Hoda Kotb adopted her child in 2017.
“I was fortunate to have the means to be able to. It can be expensive and complicated,” he said on the show. “And I just said, ‘I’m going to do this, I’m going to try to do this,’ and I did. It’s incredible to me as I’ve now learned that surrogacy is illegal in many states and I don’t understand why it’s illegal in New York and New Jersey, which is why I went to California. That’s where my wonderful surrogate was, who I owe so much to.”
