In 2004, Sarah underwent surgery to remove a tumor from her pituitary gland. Although she was told that pregnancy was a possibility, the process would be costly, and she was uncertain about her ability to carry a child. Together with her husband, Jake, they dreamed of expanding their family.
In September, while discussing the idea of fostering with a friend, Sarah met a remarkable woman named Lisa. After learning about Sarah’s situation, Lisa inquired whether Sarah had considered surrogacy. Although Sarah had initially dismissed the idea due to its high costs, Lisa surprised her by offering to be their surrogate. After consulting with an attorney, they discovered that this was indeed a viable path to parenthood.
With hope renewed, they turned to MakeAmom and ordered their at-home insemination kit. Over the course of September 18th, 19th, and 20th, they utilized the kit for insemination. Just weeks later, on October 3rd, they received the thrilling news that their surrogate was pregnant. At their first appointment, they learned they were expecting twins!
Their journey is a testament to the support available through MakeAmom and the power of community connections. Sarah and Jake are filled with gratitude and excitement as they prepare for the arrival of their twins on June 14, 2020.
Their story has sparked curiosity among many, as friends and family often assume they underwent IVF due to the quick success of their conception.
