I went to a beautiful surrogate birth yesterday. A family grew not only by a baby, but by an amazing woman, with a huge heart to carry a baby, and her two daughters. Surrogacy can be so much more than just a baby, which in itself is enough. I saw a young daughter help her mom through each 'contraption' with a heart so compassionate that I see a future as a doula in her already! I watched the miracle of a mom, dad, grandparents, an uncle and a cousin all be made in a moment through a woman so strong as to carry a child that was not her own. And the birth? Amazing! I am in awe every time I watch what a woman's body can do. It makes my heart so full to be able to be part of any birth, but it holds a special place in my heart when it involves surrogacy. Congrats to the new families. Your lives have been forever changed and I was honored to be there. 💜
