Brian Dowling and his partner Arthur Gourounlian have shared an intimate look into their surrogacy journey as part of a new RTE documentary.
And Irish viewers had a very emotional reaction as they gave a close insight to the birth of their beautiful daughter Blake. They have faced legal battles and legislation that presented issues including Brian's sister Aoife being named as mother on Blake's birth certificate.
But Aoife is not Blake's biological mother. The couple used a donor egg and Aoife has more legal rights when it comes to Blake than her biological father.
