WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY BLAZE born August 2009 !!! And now our girl/boy TWINS Dylan & Jett joined our blessed little family July 2011. We have had a long journey to begin a family. Much of our search turned up empty when looking into options for surrogacy. This is why we started this BLOG to help others learn more about options for Surrogacy in India. Good Luck with your journey and hope we have helped shed a little light.
Here are a few OLD posts that I found in my 'drafts' folder both from this blog and Doubly Blessed.
I promise to try REALLY hard and get caught up and post photos and updates for any followers still left out there. Thanks for your patience and understanding. ;)
