Holiday Season Vibes During Monthly Group!
The holiday season is upon us. Here at Building Families, we are very family oriented. One way we show this is by giving the Surrogate Moms more time to spend with their families and less time with us in the month of December. Of course, we are only a phone call away for them but we try not to bother anyone during this crazy but fun time of the year!!
Melissa’s Birth Story
We met Melissa in the Spring of 2016. She delivered a beautiful baby girl for her Couple on November 22, 2018. She has won the award for perseverance!!! There were so many hurdles in the way, but Melissa overcame each one and was never dissuaded from her goal. If anything, she became more determined! Thank you, Melissa, for hanging in there. Your determination paid off and you have changed your Couple’s lives forever!
