Description

When Dalia said she could carry her best friend Mohsin’s baby, she was… half-joking? But now, they’re talking about it for real. Mohsin and his new husband want a child, and Dalia could be the one to make it happen. So, will they? Won’t they? They’ve committed to exploring the possibility together, before reaching a final decision. But who are these two? Why are they even considering doing this? They reflect on their friendship origin story – how they met, and the turbulent years that bonded them together for life. And then, they look forward, dreaming about how a surrogacy could work, and sharing their hopes and fears.For a full transcript of this episode, visit www.tinyhugedecisions.org.

We all want our friends to be happy ... but how far would you go to help? Tiny Huge Decisions follows two best friends, Mohsin and Dalia, as they make a possibly relationship altering choice – will she be the gestational surrogate for Mohsin and his husband? Mohsin grew up in a devout Muslim family where being gay was inconceivable. He couldn’t imagine living the life he dreamed of—to create his own family. He’s now met the love of his life, Matthew, and they want a child. When Mohsin’s best friend, Dalia, said she’d consider being a surrogate for them, he couldn’t believe it—she already has a child of her own and had serious complications with her pregnancy. Eavesdrop in on their conversations, their processing, and their choices, as they grapple with the real question: is this the worst idea in the world, or the greatest gift a friend can give?
