June Bio of the Month

Mishell

If she’s not working or spending time with her two year old daughter, you can find Gestational Carrier, Mishell, dancing, enjoying the outdoors, or journaling. This humble Las Vegas native believes that we are here on earth to serve others. Her ‘treat people the way you want to be treated,’ philosophy was a major pull for her to begin her surrogacy journey. She couldn’t imagine her life without her beautiful daughter and after watching a close friend’s journey with BFI, she felt compelled to help! She is so grateful for the chance to bless another family and we are so thankful to have her in ours!

 

Halfway!

Twenty weeks! Tonya is already at the halfway mark of her pregnancy; we can hardly believe it! In 20 short weeks (give or take) her IP’s will be holding their dream come true. We’re so excited!

Positive Vibes!

We’re sending all the positive vibes to Dee and her couple while we (not so patiently) wait for her heartbeat confirmation appointment. Here’s a cute throwback of Dee and Dr. Frederick on transfer day!

Graduation Day!

It’s Graduation Day for Priscilla and her IP’s! Many thanks to the staff at Reproductive Fertility Center for her excellent care thus far, but now she’s on to her regular OB for the remainder of the pregnancy.

Amanda’s Surrogacy Story

BFI had 4 deliveries in 5 weeks in 2019.  Amanda brought a beautiful baby girl into the world into her father’s awaiting arms.  She immediately knew she wanted to help build another family.  She loved her experience so much, especially seeing Shannon every month and then weekly towards the end.

 

Her next journey, unbeknownst to us all, would be very different.  She had all of the pieces, a couple who adored her, good pregnancy and as always, her cheerful nature.  But due to Covid, she went from holding Shannon’s hand at every appointment to having Shannon in her hand Facetiming.   Even still, Amanda never lost her smile or her excitement for her couple!

 

Early in the pregnancy, her couple shared their desire for the birth to occur during a certain range of dates and times due to their beliefs.  She and BFI did their best to advise them that there is little to no control of when their baby would be born.  As the fates would have it, their beautiful 7lb baby girl made her arrival within the magical day and hour! Culturally, this timing means that she is meant for greatness…but we knew that already.

March Bio of the Month

With her all-encompassing beauty and her nose in a book, Lucy reminds us of our very own Belle! When she’s not reading, she’s working hard to provide for her children Stevie, 16, and Pearl, 21. Teaching them by showing, rather than telling, the importance of being a better individual daily. She is a strong believer that every day is a new day and should be treated as such. She truly believes that everything happens for a reason. The path that brought her to surrogacy was meant to be! We are thrilled to be a part of the magic!
