Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams reveal they’re having twins through surrogacy

Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams reveal they’re having twins through surrogacy.

Last year, the YouTuber couple announced their intention to begin the process of having children via surrogacy. The couple have been dating since 2016 and earlier this year they got married in Colorado.

Yesterday (May 21), in a new video on Ryland’s YouTube channel, the pair excitedly revealed to viewers that they had decided to proceed with two male embryos and that they have already decided on their names: Jetson and Max.

In a video posted on July 6, Shane and Ryland excitedly tell fans that their surrogate is pregnant after receiving a photo of a positive pregnancy test sent to them by text from their surrogate.

Recapping what had happened during the appointment, Shane said he had been shocked that both embryos had survived the transfer. They both had one egg that had been fertilized and transferred to the surrogate, in the hopes to have two children who are biologically related to either Shane or Ryland.

Going through surrogacy and insemination, Shane and Ryland decided to bring their viewers and fans along on their journey. They also revealed that they’re expecting two sons, and already have names picked out – Jett Adams Yaw and Max Adams Yaw.

Surrogacy is when a woman carries a baby for a couple who are unable to conceive or carry a baby themselves. The baby’s biological mother can be inseminated with the father’s sperm or an embryo can be created using a donor egg and implanted in the uterus.

In the new video, Ryland and Shane explained that on the advice of their fertility doctor, out of 12, they choose the two most “optimal” embryos (one with Shane’s sperm and the other with Ryland’s) and they both happened to be male. Previously, they thought they’d like to have a boy and a girl, but the couple appeared thrilled to be expecting two boys.
