I had never met Katy before we met to shoot her note session, but I had heard her story. She had a note that she wanted to do with her three girls, which we also grabbed some images of, that I will share soon….but I asked her to tell this part of her story as well.  Rather than me muck it all up with rambling and sarcasm, I am going to share Katy’s words…

My Mom always called me Fertile Mertyl because I get pregnant and carry babies so easily. When my brother and his wife were having trouble having a baby my sister in law joked that she should pay me to carry a baby for her…so I started researching and discovered that surrogacy was a feasible option. That was something I was willing to do for them. I offered, but was told that she REALLY wanted to carry the baby herself. However, I really felt a calling to this….So I signed up with an agency, found the most amazing couple who had been waiting such a long time to find someone who was willing to carry their baby. And I signed all the papers and took all the tests and after a year and a half and 37 difficult weeks delivered two of the most beautiful baby boys. It was such a blessing to be able to create this family. To give children to people who cherish them so much.
