The Kehoe Amy and her husband Scott are unable to have their own baby. So Amy decided to find someone that would be able to carry one for them. Amy picked egg doner from the University of Michigan. She then chose a anonymous sperm doner, which was athletic and had a 4.0 in high school.
Amy and Scott then set out to find a Gestational Carrier who would deliver their baby, they then hired a fertility clinic right in Michigan, The clinic put together her creation last December.
The Kehoes paid for the eggs and the sperm as well as the in vitro fertilization procedure.
At the end of July the Kehoes announced the birth of Ethan and Bridget, TWINS. The Twins Ethan and Bridget were brought home to the Kehoes home in August.
This story turns sad as the twins are now with the surrogate who gave them birth after obtaining a court order to retrieve the twins after learning that Mrs Kehoe had been treated for mental illness. Ms Baker stated she couldnt see living the rest of my life worrying and wondering what had happened, or what if she hadn't taken her medicine, or what if she relapsed."
750 Babies are born each year through gestational surrogacy in the USA with the numbers climbing.
