Only a couple who cannot fulfill the dream of having a child knows how difficult it is to deal with infertility. It can be very exhausting. But sometimes, when you least expect it, the dream comes true, and in the case of Nancy and Justin Rohde, a couple from Chicago, it was fulfilled twice.
For years they underwent fertility treatments, but seeing that there was virtually no hope left, they decided to resort to surrogacy. The two plans went well and they ended up being parents of two babies born five weeks apart In different cities.
After dealing for three years with unsuccessful fertility treatments, they thought that subrogation could be a valid alternative and contacted a surrogate mother. The surrogate mother became pregnant, but subsequently suffered an abortion and when she said she would not try again, Nancy and Justin met in a dead end.
Almost without hope, they decided to give IVF a last chance. Despite having gotten pregnant, doctors told Nancy that her uterine lining was very thin and that they most likely lost the baby. At the same time, they found another surrogate mother, and seeing that the chances of the pregnancy going forward were minimal, they decided to continue with the subrogation plan.
Against all odds, Nancy's pregnancy went on and a few weeks later she became pregnant Ashley, the surrogate mother, who is also the mother of three children. This made them both unite in an extraordinary way, sharing the experiences and emotions of pregnancy.
Lillian Quinn, her first daughter was born on May 2 in Chicago, while Audrey Eleanor was born to the surrogate mother on June 7 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Is a deeply emotional story, of course for parents, but also for babies, who are joined by a very special connection. They are practically twins, despite being born from different mothers and in different cities.
