Jeri shared her beautiful surrogacy journey with us at Group. It was amazing and wonderful to see how close she and her family became to her Couple. Congratulations Jeri for making such a difference in the lives of so many people!!

You know how there are signs that you have been around awhile? Like meeting an adult that has never used or maybe even seen a rotary phone. But some things withstand the tests of time, like See’s Candies! That is something that we have all enjoyed with our grandparents, parents and continue to share with our kids and grandkids!! One more thing I have in common with my daughter and a few other special women is surrogacy. I never even considered that I would be doing this amazing work long enough to meet a Second Generation Surrogate Mom, much less be related to one! My daughter, Jenny, has been surrounded by surrogacy almost her entire life. I imagine there was a moment where she thought this was the “norm”, that everyone had their kids with the help of a Surrogate Mom. It would have been easier to agree with that than talk about the birds and the bees. LOL! I am honored and humbled that these gals came to me. Each one said they remembered me when they were a kid and wanted to have the same experience their moms had. I know how proud I am of Jenny for making the offer to help someone less fortunate, so I truly know how my previous Surrogate Moms feel about their daughters, too. Here are pictures of Kaitlin, Mackenzie & Jenny when their mothers were Surrogate Moms what seems like a hundred years ago…..not really. Sometimes it feels like yesterday when our kids were so young, right Tracy and Shelly?

I finally was able to see the two precious babies that were born when I was away in Spain. There are no words to describe how amazing and beautiful these moments are. Thank you Amanda & Rochelle for making such a difference in the lives of these little cutie pies and their parents!!

Spending time with Melissa is always fun! And bringing my feisty granddaughter, Genevieve, along was icing on the cake! Melissa is gearing up for her embryo transfer later this month. Send her positive vibes people!!!!

Graduation Day! This day is so meaningful for so many reasons. All of which we are thankful to Jane L. Frederick, M.D. – Orange County Fertility and her team for making Jessica’s dream come true. Jessica came to me years ago wanting to help a Couple have the gift and blessing of a family. Her dream became a mission for us all! It has been a bumpy road, but we are finally on our way!! Thank you Dr. Frederick for having the knowledge and determination of helping Jessica realize her dream of becoming a Surrogate Mom for a very deserving Couple. Congrats Jessica to you and your Couple!!

I am so glad I made it to Los Angeles in time to meet one of our newest family members, baby Fernando. And it was also good-bye for now as he and his parents have gone home. Welcome to world little one!!!
