They opened up about how they were planning to have a family since the very first time they met. They even had the names of their children from their first week dating. Tom and Dustin said family is very important to them, having lost close members in the past and they said that 'completing' their family by having children meant a lot to them. They began exploring their options in 2015 and eventually found an egg-doner and then a surrogate to carry their first child. Dustin said they built a relationship with their surrogate who they now are very close with. They've said she wishes to remain anonymous.
