Jamie’s Birth Story

Jamie saw several of her friends become Surrogate Moms and was able to see first hand how amazing their experiences were.  When she shared the stories with her hubby, they knew they wanted to get in on the fun! And join they did!! On August 25, 2018, she changed the lives of her Couple and their families when she gave birth to their son weighing a whopping 8lb 5oz.

Monique’s Birth Story!

Sometimes a new Surrogate Mom enters our Program and feels strongly about wanting to give the Couple their first child.  But Monique felt that having a sibling for that first child is equally if not more important than the first. The second child is not only a gift for the parents and grandparents but he is a life long gift for his big brother or sister.  The bond that forms between siblings is incredible and one day their children will be close and then their children…..It never ends! On August 23, 2018, Monique completed a family when a baby brother was born weighing a whopping 8 lb 2 oz.

A first for our group!! Dr. Rad joined in via video! Technology is truly a wonderful thing and we made the best out of our group time together. These girls are a blast no matter the situation and the support is as strong as ever. Should we have all made a funny face behind the laptop? #maybewedid 😉
