At BFI, we are all in on every surrogacy story. We have such special connections with each gestational carrier and their intended parents. GC Manika, was absolutely no exception! Not only is she a lifetime member of our family, but her amazing daughter, Destinee, is as well. Witnessing Destinee step up into the support role for her Mama was incredible.
When Manika was unexpectedly induced at 36 weeks, her daughter held her hand through the whole process. Manika and her couple reflected on the experience, saying that although the delivery time came as a surprise, they felt as though every moment was planned because of the careful preparation from BFI. Manika’s OB, her support team, and her couple knew exactly what they needed to do when it mattered most. Her Intended Mom was an amazing motivator through labor and delivery and really kept her going as well! Tiny but mighty at 4lbs 11oz and 17 inches long, her surrobabe filled every inch of her parents hearts!
Post delivery, Manika was able to share a room with her IPs and baby until they went home. She said that watching her IPs fully embrace their new roles was an amazing experience. It was the best part of her journey!
