January 14, 2018March 10, 2018 Intended Parents

The Christmas season is all about giving unto others, and this year a Lodi woman gave the ultimate gift of parenthood to a family in London.

On Nov. 20, Holly Marie Baker gave birth to their twins, a boy and a girl, after serving as their surrogate mother.

Ever since high school, Baker said she always wanted to be a surrogate. While doing some research on surrogacy, she found out that she would have to give birth to her own child before she would be eligible for surrogacy. More than two years after having a child, Baker felt it was the perfect time to be a surrogate.

A baby boy born Thursday morning at Medical City Dallas is at the center of a custody dispute between the biological parents, the surrogate who carried the child, and now Dallas County and the state of Texas.

Attorneys for the surrogate, a woman from Collin County who’s successfully served as a surrogate twice before, said she agreed to carry the child for a couple from out of state. But at 16 weeks of pregnancy, doctors discovered the baby had a heart problem.

Out of the three bedrooms in Noel’s home, two have been dedicated to the four-year-old — one for sleeping, the other for toys. There are a lot of toys, mostly gifts from family and friends. Noel is very much the apple of his parents’ eyes, and the extended family’s too. Both sides of the family gather every few weeks in Noel’s home, humouring him with endless games of hide and seek in the 1,450 sq ft apartment.

Christine Ravago, right, of Severna Park, Md., holds her son, Sterling, born at 8:43 a.m. Monday with surrogate mother Alyssa Johnson of Eau Claire. Sterling was the first baby of the new year born at Eau Claire hospitals.

Mayo Clinic Health System delivered the first baby of 2018 early Monday in Eau Claire as parents Christine Ravago and her husband, Simon Bone, of Severna Park, Md., sped across the country to be there for the birth of their son.

Ravago and Bone have been trying to have a child for years without success. According to a Mayo news release, the pair were connected with surrogate mother Alyssa Johnson of Eau Claire over a year ago, which paved the way for their son Sterling’s arrival.

Born at 7 pounds and 20½ inches, baby Sterling was born at 8:43 a.m. via cesarean section. The baby arrived 20 days before his due date after high blood pressure concerns sent Johnson into an early delivery.

Two hands of different people on the belly of a pregnant woman.

Thanks to modern medicine, couples struggling to become pregnant can choose from several different methods to start a family of their own. One such method is surrogacy, in which a woman, a third party to the parents, carries and delivers said parents’ baby. You may have recently heard about this thanks to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. But how does the process of enlisting a surrogate mother work? Parents must first choose which type of surrogacy they’d like to participate in — either traditional or gestational.

Poor villagers in central China are making more than 100,000 yuan (US$15,000) by acting as surrogate mothers, a Chinese news site has reported.

In some areas, most women of child bearing age had been hiring out their wombs, even though the practice was illegal, Thepaper.cn reported on Saturday.

The news portal’s investigation highlighted the case of a village in Hubei province, where more than 100 women were bearing the fertilised eggs of couples they had never met.

I was dismayed to read Ms Ho Lay Ping’s letter (Ban surrogacy to protect the interests of children and women; Jan 5).

It contains inaccurate and harmful claims.

Research shows that children of same-sex couples do as well, or even better, than children of heterosexual couples.

Fueled by high demand and high rewards, black-market surrogacy is booming in China, The Times (London) reports. Its source is The Paper, a state-run news website, which carried out a two-month-long investigation.

Agents charge commissioning couples anywhere between US$55,000 and $155,000 for a baby, gender guaranteed. It is also risky, especially if there are problems with the pregnancy or if the baby is disabled.

Terri Taylor, seen with Freya shortly after her birth, says she did not want to be compensated.

On a wall in Terri Taylor’s home, opposite the window that looks onto the quiet Fredericton cul-de-sac on which generations of her family have grown up, there’s a series of family photos.

Some of them are pictures of her own children, ranging from their teen years to when they were toddlers.

Others feature twin baby girls, the much longed-for children of Iain and Haley, an Australian couple Taylor met through a surrogacy website.
