Against all odds
~
After more than two years and thru surrogacy, multiple rounds of IVF , breech positioning (that was successfully flipped), and a scramble to change birth plan due to COVID-19, baby Luca was born safe and sound yesterday morning at his surrogates home and caught by his mom at long last.
I’ve been quiet on here for a little while getting myself mentally, physically and emotionally ready to document this incredible birth during this unprecedented time.
It was incredibly emotional to be around other people for the first time in weeks (all in masks and thoroughly sanitized) and for such a monumental occasion. Throughout this tragedy that is COVID-19, I have kept afloat emotionally knowing that but to witness life emerging in real time, amidst such worldwide heartache- I’m forever changed.

Now, more than ever I am inspired by the power of humanity and the perseverance of love. Thank you, thank you to and your beautiful surrogate C and your families for inviting me into this year of your lives and for showing me what true sacrifice and dedication to family looks like.
