A lot of you have asked me why have I done surrogacy abroad and would I do it again would I of know what I went through? The answer is yes! A million times yes! I’ve gone to the moon and back for these kids, and I would do it all over again. On November […]
“Preparing for the Twins
I’m not gonna lie; this whole journey hasn’t been easy. Last month I was in Bahrain, a little tiny Island close to Saudi Arabia. I was living there for the past seven years. Well I closed my production company, sold my condo, packed my life and moved back home to Toronto. Here I’ve been building […]
“Exiting with the Twins
A lot of people are asking me, what happens when the twins are born? How will I get them back to Canada? Well here goes: The twins will be born with a scheduled C-section, which means that I will be in Kenya for their birth. Once the babies are born I will be provided with […]
“Brave or Natural?
It’s funny the reactions I get from people when they find out I’m having twins on my own. They are amazed that I would even think of starting this journey. “You are so brave.” I keep hearing. “I can’t believe you’re doing this on your own!” I don’t see myself as brave. Wanting to have […]

“Third Time Around
By the third embryo transfer, it was kinda hard to remain positive. Everyone would say “third times a charm,” which made me cringe every time I heard it. By this point, they were using frozen embryos and I felt that the changes of pregnancy would be less. I had broken up with my ex at […]
“2nd embryo transfer
Time seems to stop when you are waiting for the results. The second Embryo transfer happened on Dec 12, 2017. I was in Toronto with my family. I was optimistic that this time it would be positive. I was in a good place (I thought!) surrounded by love and support so what could go wrong? […]
