This birth story is an excerpt from book I am writing to document my surrogacy journey. It is raw and graphic as is it real and beautiful. You have been warned. At our 40 week prenatal appointment I asked Traci what options we had to “help things along”. I was 40 weeks and 4 days, […]

I have seen so many posts in facebook of parents desperately scrambling to fill last minute requests to Santa. Kids getting every wish fulfilled. Christmas magic at its […]
