Burtka and Harris used an anonymous egg donor and “an amazing surrogate who had helped a same-sex couple before,’’ while trying for a baby, according to a People magazine interview.

Fellow television actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who married Justin Mikita on July 21, 2013, welcomed the couple to the “married club’’ this morning.
