Mickayln’s Surrogacy Story

by //

As surrogates, the MOMENT of their journey is most often the delivery room. Seeing their IPs dreams realized before their eyes tends to drive home the gravity of their contribution. As you can imagine, it is a very emotional moment. Now that we are on the other side of the journey, we can tell you that for us, the most powerful part of the journey is the bond our GCs form with their IPs. GC Mickalyn’s bond with her IPs was so rewarding to experience. The two families have truly become one. With her IPs by her side, she welcomed her seven-pound seven-ounce wombmate earthside on August 22, 2022. This birthday is especially magical because it’s National Rainbow Baby Day!

We are so proud to congratulate Mickayln on her successful surrogacy journey and her IPs on their beautiful baby girl!

Lauri-Anne’s Surrogacy Story

by //

Lauri-Anne is a successful surrogate-AGAIN! On August 18, 2022 she made another couple’s dreams come true when together they welcomed a 10lbs 3oz baby boy. No folks, that is not a typo, Lauri-Anne’s surrobabe was over ten pounds! What a trooper she is!

The most amazing part about this journey for Lauri-Anne was the relationship she built with her Intended Parents. Her first journey featured an International couple, but this time they were local to her. Her IPs attended appointments and spent a lot of time with Lauri-Anne throughout her journey. She says for her, they really were a huge source of support in this pregnancy. How beautiful is that?

It’s really interesting as a surrogate, you are often asked about how you’re able to distance yourself from the baby once they are born. But like Lauri-Anne says, it’s really the couple that you miss the most! You miss talking to them regularly and sending them photos and pictures of your life and hearing about theirs. It’s not that it stops when the baby is born, it just changes.

We are so grateful to experience another surrogacy story with Lauri-Anne and she will always be a part of the BFI Family!

Baby!

BABY! It’s so amazing when it works out for a Gestational Carrier to help shower her Intended Parents. It is such a blessing to be able to meet the friends and family who are anxiously awaiting the baby’s arrival!

Amy’s Surrogacy Story

by //

Amy is officially a successful surrogate! Congratulations to her and her intended parents on the completion of a beautiful surrogacy journey. Throughout this journey, Amy has shown her strength and delivery day was no different. When her epidural did not work, she was able to push through (literally) and calmly deliver her surro-babe. Baby girl entered the world midmorning on June 20, 2022. She was a perfectly petite six pounds, five ounces and nineteen inches long. Her parents are in love and seeing them with her for the first time was the highlight of Amy’s journey.

We are in awe of Amy and are so thankful to have had a small part in building this family!

Surro-Sisters

by //

“I was lucky enough to meet Jamie during my first surrogacy journey and I felt an instant connection to her. The BFI program really allows us GC’s to form a strong bond- I call the other ladies my ‘surro-sisters.’ When I found out that Jamie’s IP’s were staying in the same air bnb that mine had, I knew I wanted her to recreate this photo! What makes it extraordinary is that my IP’s and Jamie’s are actually friends and these little sisters born a year apart will get to grow up together!” GC Christine (pictured left)
