Melissa Is Looking Great!

Happy “Bump” Day from this beautiful bump, and the two tiny beings inside!! Surrogate Mom, Melissa, is now 26 weeks along with identical twins. She is feeling great and managing this pregnancy flawlessly thus far. Yes, you read that correctly, identical twins! Although we do all we can to ensure a singleton pregnancy by transferring only one embryo, mother nature may have other plans. Melissa is already beating the odds of the complications that can be associated with a twin pregnancy, so join us in sending her positive vibes for continued smooth sailing!!!

 

Three Beautiful Birth Stories for March!

Birth stories 1, 2, & 3! We had 3 deliveries last month and these girls shared their amazing birth stories during March’s group meeting. Each one unique, and each one beautiful! There was not a dry eye in the room. We love you girls and are so grateful to have shared this journey with you!

 

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!

We are lucky to have such a great group of Surrogate Mothers in our program. Each month, Dr. Rad gathers everyone together to share details about their journey. The support is beautiful and a key reason for the success of each journey. We can’t wait to see everyone again next month!

 

Mandy and her IPs just found out…it’s a boy!!

Mandy has been enjoying her surrogacy and everything that comes with it, including this adorable gender reveal! At the recent anatomy scan appointment, she and her Intended Parents found out they were having a boy! Of course, Mandy had both colors of paint just in case! Moments like this are truly beautiful, especially in Surrogacy. Congratulations!!

 

From FaceTime to Real time!

Surrogate Mom, Angela, would video connect with her Intended Parents during appointments so they could see their baby moving around and listen to the heartbeat. That little flutter on the ultrasound screen is now a soft squirming bundle of joy in her arms. Watching the dream of parenthood become a reality, right in front of your eyes, is beyond breathtaking!

 

Amanda Has Delivered a Little Girl!!

What a way to start the week but with a baby entering this world and making a family whole! Although we’ve said it before, it is truly a miracle to see the moment “Intended” Parents become New Parents. What’s even better?? Seeing Parents become Grandparents! What an amazing delivery we were a part of today, watching generations grow right in front of us. May the rest of the week be just as beautiful!

 

Amanda’s Birth Story

Amanda was so perfectly matched with her Couple and the distance of half the world away didn’t affect the true bond they created, shared and we are sure will maintain.  The beauty of this journey was not only to witness the effect a new little one can have on her parents’ face but also the love that was so visible on her grandparents’ loving eyes every time they not only saw her but just spoke about her!  From the beginning, Daddy was sure he would have a girl and her name would be a Disney Princess. And he was right!! The was absolutely a Disney themed labor of love that came to fruition on February 25, 2019, in the morning hours. The sweet princess weighed a perfectly petite 7lb 14oz!!

 

Valentine’s Day Babies!

One week ago we had two deliveries…just hours apart! That’s right, Angela and Tonya delivered beautiful, healthy baby girls on Valentine’s day. Angela delivered in Apple Valley and Tonya delivered in Upland, amidst a crazy rainstorm to boot! We are so thankful to our staff for dividing and conquering in order to be present for these girls.

One week later, everyone is recovering well and the new parents are settling into their new roles. Such an honor to be a part of something so magnificent! Congratulations to both of you, and to the New Parents.

 

Angela’s Birth Story

Angela proved a lot of things. That language is not a barrier unless you allow it to be. Distance is not an issue, video calls can be done for everything! It is easy to make friends with your surrogate mommy peers. And that you can plan a cross-country move in the last month of pregnancy and make the move only weeks after having a C-Section! Crazy but true!

Angela’s surrogate pregnancy journey ended on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2019, when a sweet baby was born giving Angela’s Couple the answer to their many prayers over the years.
