Wednesday Breakfast: Shannon Molloy – Rainbow Families, Real Talk & Getting Baby-Ready

Kids & Family, News & Politics

Writer, proud dad, and Rainbow Families Australia rep Shannon Molloy joins JOY Breakfast to discuss his journey to parenthood, the beauty (and bureaucracy) of queer family-making, and the game-changing seminar helping LGBTQIA+ Australians start their own families.

In this heart-opening interview, Shannon reflects on the years-long surrogacy process that led to the birth of his daughter Ava, the importance of planning early, and why information really is power when it comes to making queer parenting possible. We also get into the practical challenges—like costs, waitlists, legal minefields—and why Rainbow Families’ Making Rainbow Families Seminar is such a crucial resource.

If you’ve ever considered starting a family (or want to support those who do), this one’s essential listening.
