It is sad when these circumstances of infertility happen and a couple feels that they do not have anywhere to turn.\u00a0 Rosie Moore founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegiftoflife27.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Gift of Life<\/a> a nonprofit that supports premature babies and nurse consultant for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.windermerebabyandfamily.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Windermere Baby and Family<\/a>\u00a0knows all too well the struggles that parents who cannot conceive face.\u00a0 Sometimes when the parents are able to conceive, the baby may be born prematurely or the baby is miscarried, these are the heart-wrenching stories that led Rosie to start helping intended parents find a surrogate to carry a baby for them. Miracles do indeed happen, all it takes is unconditional love.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago Becky Kammes, a doula in Wisconsin, shared her moving story about how she gave a couple the gift of a lifetime, the gift of birth!<\/p>\n<p>Read Becky\u2019s touching story as she shares her journey<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have two children of my own and have been a gestational surrogate twice (working on a third journey currently). Surrogacy is my heart and soul, truly.\u00a0 My intended parents( IP\u2019s) resided on the West Coast and I live in\u00a0 SW Wisconsin. My IPs were quite active during my prenatal appointments through FaceTime.\u00a0 When I turned 20 weeks, they traveled to WI for my 20-week appointment and ultrasound.\u00a0 When it was time for the baby to be delivered, they flew back for the glorious day, the birth of their baby.\u00a0 \u00a0We had a doula present at the birth\u00a0to support all of us during the birth process. My IP\u2019s were elated with the idea, so my Doula and Hubby were a sensational birth duo for both of my IPs and myself. The experience went so well, that I am currently working on a sibling journey with them. They have since become our extended family and that makes my heart soar!<\/p>\n<p>This was their first baby and they entrusted me with the entire pregnancy and birth; they continuously told me that I was \u201cthe birth baby professional\u201d and they wanted me to be most at ease and comfortable. I reminded them that although I had birthed three babies prior, one of which is a surrogate delivery, THIS moment was THEIRS. This special time was THEIRS. I\u2019m just along for the ride! Everything we discussed, every idea mentioned every suggestion made, was crucial to the process because we all had to agree on it.\u00a0 The five of us were a wonderful team! There was an insatiable cohesive bond that was built without really even trying-it was innate, as silly as that sounds.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the doula\u2019s job is to learn your client\u2019s \u2018love language\u2019 as I call it and that was done, to a T! But also, our doula managed to learn my IPs love language in such a short amount of time and didn\u2019t overstep any support boundary in the least bit. There was a strong, energetic bond and everyone, including our nurses and OB, respected that and we ALL conquered the birth as a rockstar unit!<\/p>\n<p>I would love to one day Doula for a surrogate and her IPs. It\u2019s such a profoundly intimate moment-in every aspect of the word and to offer my own experiences and insight to help a fellow surrogate and her family have an exceptional birth experience would be a CHERRY ON MY BIRTH SUNDAE!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rosienursecorner.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/02\/img_1039.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-374 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/justrosiemoore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_1039.jpe\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Becky, for sharing such a special and personal experience with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.windermerebabyandfamily.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Windermere Baby and Family<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.windermerebabyandfamily.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Windermere Baby and Family\u00a0<\/a>to\u00a0learn more about becoming a surrogate and what it entails.\u00a0 We can walk you through the entire process of being someone\u2019s miracle.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Rosie&#8217;s Nurse Corner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you ever wonder why people help a total stranger?\u00a0 Do you ask yourself why is it that some people have babies and some who want them cannot?
