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.

Congrats!!!! I can't wait to see the babies!!!
Now you have an excellent family. The possibility of the birth of the twins is much higher than using the natural way. For many infertile couples it is like a blessing from above. After all, those who are persistent in their wishes receive much more things than those who do not believe in the result.
Hi, we are about to head off to India for the birth of our twins. I seem to remember at one stage you had list of traval items for bubs on your website? Do you still have it and can you post the link? It would really help us to know what to pack. And congratulations on your beautiful family. We are overjoyed to be also blessed:-)
Love T & H
Hi T&H,
Congratulations! If you click on the side bar link that says 'what we bought, brought and forgot'. That should help. You can also email me personally anytime. All the very best to you.
