Gift To Dr. Jane Frederick

Dr. Jane Frederick, a partner at HRC Fertility, has worked with Carol Weathers for almost 20 years. Building Families is so fortunate to have a relationship with a doctor and staff that care so much for their patients.

Last week a very grateful new Mom gifted a beautiful token of appreciation to Dr. Frederick. It was a beautiful drawing that she created herself. Dr. Frederick was so moved by this gesture as were we!

Rosie’s Surrogacy Story

One, Then Two!

Rosie delivered a beautiful baby girl for an international Couple in early 2009 and decided she wasn’t done helping in this tremendous way. So, on January 2012 she delivered healthy twins for another international Couple. This new baby girl and baby boy weighing 5lbs 11oz and 5lbs 9oz were welcomed by their parents. It is good thing that Rosie has decided to retire, as carrying triplets may have been in her future!

Elaina’s Surrogacy Story

There are moments in most experiences that we consider the “highlights”.  These highlights are typically the ones we remember with great fondness and emotion.    When I asked the new Mommy & Daddy what was the highlight for them, besides the obvious gift that Elaina gave them…becoming parents, Dad didn’t hesitate to answer.  He said it was the moment Elaina called to say she was pregnant.  As he spoke about it, tears came to his eyes as he remembered that day.  He recalls being unable to speak to her.  He tried more than once to come to the phone to at least utter a small thank you, but he couldn’t do it.  His wife was crying too but was sharing that with Elaina as she too was crying tears of joy.  They never thought that words could have such an impact, but clearly they do!

This was not the only day Elaina made her Couple cry.  On January 9, 2012, there was not a dry eye in that hospital when Elaina brought not one but two babies to this deserving Couple.
