pretending that they "created it together"
There's a procedure called "reciprocal IVF" in which they use the egg from one and implant it in the other just so they can feel more "involved." Incurring all the risks of IVF plus a couple extra risks over regular assisted feralization just for the feels.
Being willing to take those entirely unnecessary risks for self-gratification tells you everything you need to know about what kind of parent the narcissists will be.
There's also this one which is interesting and done for non-vanity reasons, but results in a kid with DNA from three parties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_replacement_therapy
Edit: To be clear, there are non-vanity reasons for reciprocal IVF but it is marketed towards lesbians for vanity reasons. It's obviously not cheap.
