Im from the Bay Area area so I’m assuming your daughter may be too. If I may ask, does she work for a company or is doing it independently. If I may ask, how much did she charge or do you know how much the couple is paying for her services if through an agency? I’m far from rich but I am running out of time. I’m wondering if I can even afford it considering I’ve looked before and extremely expensive.
@@user-gi1xr8tf1p Actually my daughter lives in southern California. She registered with a surrogate agency called Find The Surrogate. The Intended Parents live in San Jose and chose her, but the embroyos were in the Bay Area. I went with her and she had the embroyo transfer on June 12th. She's 7 weeks pregnant now. She's 33 and already has my (2) grandchildren, but wanted to help complete another family.
what an amazing beautiful woman your daughter is to gift the most precious blessing she can like this bless her and bless you for raising an amazing person xx
Can we talk about how frogs symbolize transformation, birth, fertility and rebirth? Those frogs are such a promising sign. I'm so happy for you! You and Adam were born to be parents
Ooh how exciting 😊 you have this wonderful, comforting, mother like energy ❤️ you’re meant to be a momma! Congrats to you both and I can’t wait to see your beautiful family grow ✨
OMG feel free to cry!!! Becoming a mother is one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. I always said I’d never have kids, but I’m so happy we decided to grow into a family of 3, not including our pets. We LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
@@Feg1989she is, giving birth to a human being is so crazy and beautiful and painful so doing it for someone who can’t have kids is an outrageously amazing thing
I’m an in-vetro baby!!! My mom had 6 miscarriages, I was on the newspaper in 1999 for being the first baby that conceived via a new way of in-vetro technology. My mom had me after a healthy pregnancy, i am soooooo praying and crying for you Celina. SENDING MY LIGHT AND LOVE🫶🏻
@@thatdamhorserescue There are probably different technologies used in the process, but I was the first IVF baby in a program between my hometown’s hospital and Hershey Medical Center in Pennsylvania in 1994. I was 5 ish weeks premature, and they did an article on me in the local newspaper. There were certainly other IVF babies before me. IVF/“test tube babies” was in practice in the 80s, perhaps very uncommon, but 🤷🏻♀️
You’re already a mother. You always have been. You’ve been like a mom to all of your followers, offering advice, kindness, empathy, and never letting the world beat you down. I’m so happy for you Celina. This was god’s plan for you all along ❤ praying for a happy and healthy pregnancy and delivery. You are going to be an awesome mom.
I was reading this and I thought to myself that those miscarriages don’t define you as not a mom you knew about the babies that means your always a mom. I was also thinking that maybe god didn’t want Celina in so much pain and discomfort and probably more if she was to be pregnant 🤰, god works in mysterious ways ❤ so happy for you Celina can’t wait to watch your family grow 😍❤️
As someone who dealt with infertility for over 8 years, had 4 losses and finally, finally became a mom (to 5!😮) I Just want to wish you all the baby dust, happiness and success in your IVF and surrogacy journey!
Whose chopping onions out here. 😭 this is the bestest announcement ever! As someone who just birthed their rainbow baby after being told i was infertile this makes my heart so happy you get to experience this
I got told 13 years ago that I couldn't have children due to my endometriosis and adenomyosis 😔 I was devastated. All these years later, I'm now 33 weeks pregnant ❤️ Congratulations on your miracle baby 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
The two bullfrogs that croaked when she mentioned having a 10 and 8 yr old. I lost it. Congratulations Celina and Adam I cannot wait to watch this journey of you guys getting to become parents
How much do they pay you to be a surrogate? I’m running out of time to have a baby and I’m trying to figure out if I can even afford to get through an agency in this day and age or do people have the option to go private. So that’s why I’m wondering the cost. What’s the most economical part if I may ask?
@user-gi1xr8tf1p in Canada you cannot be paid anything (aside from reimbursement for any medical costs, but again, this is Canada, so not a lot of costs) to be a surrogate or gestational carrier
I feel like as soon as I saw the title of the video, I was REALLY hoping it would be an announcement like this! You are going to be such a good mom! So happy for you!
Congratulations from a woman who knows how it feels to not be able to have children and have suffered loses. I tried for 10 years too but in 2005 was blessed with a beautiful baby boy at birth through adoption. I wouldn't have it any other way because he was meant to be my child. I hope everything goes beautiful for you.
I went through 7 years of infertility before I was a mom. I was told I had less than 1 % chance of having a baby. Through the wonderful work of Dr A Vilos in London ON I became a mom. So so happy for you!
@@Lola_Nico who hurt you? Lol. Me going through infertility treatments has nothing to do with me being a good person but I know I’m far less miserable then your ass
@@Lola_Nico This comment is gross and unkind. Parenthood isn't for everyone, fostering isn't for everyone, adoption isn't for everyone. And until you have experienced first hand the absolute relentless trauma of infertility and loss, you will never understand how poisonous your judgement of another person's journey is. Go look at yourself and your attitude, and then go think about the friends you have that daren't tell you about their journey - now or in the future - because of comments like this.
@@Lola_Nico thats such a wrong comment? some people cant adopt. Sometimes it just doesnt feel right, that doesnt make them a bad person???? tf wrong with you
I did IVF. I had both Fallopian tubes removed and my left ovary. I only had one chance I had a baby boy almost a year ago. This Saturday we will be one. Hitting all milestones. Active. It’s amazing. Congrats momma💗
As an IVF baby I’m so SO happy for you and your baby boy! IVF journey is one of the hardest things my mom went through, and I’m so grateful for her choice and strength (and I’m sure your baby will be too!) Wishing you and your family all the best! And happy pre-birthday to your baby boy ❤️
Ivf causes cancer and a myriad of health issues. Why not just adopt, even if it's hard to do so? The world is already vastly growing more overpopulated. Nothing is more selfish than this kinda shit. Bet your husband does nothing to help, too. Enjoy your new lack of autonomy, thinking your only purpose in life is to birth crotch gremlins, and to be bringing a child into this shit world. Selfish
I lost my first pregnancy in 2020 after struggling with infertility for 12 years. I am now 36 years old, and 36 weeks pregnant with my miracle little boy. I know that type of sadness. I am so glad you found your own path to motherhood! Congratulations to you both!❤🎉
Omfg!!! I can’t wait to go through this journey with y’all!!! I was never blessed with my own as well so gave up. But to hear this and see this with y’all thank you so much for letting us in to enjoy this with y’all!! Many blessings to y’all’s journey 🥹❤
CELINA!!!!!! I’m so happy for you!!! My aunt just actually got pregnant after trying FOR YEARS, so to hear two baby related pieces of news on the same day is absolutely insane!!!! You’ll be the greatest momma!!! ❤❤❤
Don’t be scared, my husband and I went through IVF in 2022 after 10 years of trying with no luck. It’s Lots of shots lots of ultrasounds and blood work but just keep reminding yourself you’re going to have a beautiful little bundle of joy in the end. It will fly by so excited for you!
Did anybody else see right after she made her announcement her kite in the back started flying like crazy?? If that ain't a sign I don't know one. I'm so happy for you!
Oh sweet Celina, congratulations I am beyond happy for Adam and yourself. One of the 1st videos I saw you spoke about your heartbreaking story and I KNEW in my SOUL you were meant to be a mother. I can't explain it and I don't ever recall feeling that way about anyone before but I knew if anyone was supposed to experience motherhood it was you.
tell you my story I have 5 miscarriages over the years and now I'm pregnant again with 6th pregnancy hoping and praying this makes it thru. I wish you the best thru your baby journey and I'm glad you finally found someone help you out. I just wanted to say congratulations to you... 🎉
I wanted give you update on my 6th baby that I lost my baby in August 15th 2024 I had my 6th miscarriage broke my heart and it hurts so much I don't understand my situation but God knows my heart what best for me I trying stay positive for myself and my husband and we grieve so much it hurts... but I wanted give ya'll update....
As a surrogate for CFC they are absolutely fantastic !!! I have a beautiful couple I am carrying for and they make this presses so easy and amazing! This is amazing for you two. Can't wait to see your family grow!!
I literally started this video saying, "Please, let them have a baby and everything be healthy, you deserve to be a mom." to the TV, as if you can hear me. I'm so incredibly happy for you both!! I've never committed on you starting a family until now, and I'm so glad I waited!!
Same!!! The moment i started the video i was filled with joy and started shouting at my screen "she's going to have a baby!!! Please let it be her time!!!!"
We Love you Celina!! Our whole family watches together!! Sending all our love and good vibes your way!! You and Adam will be AMAZING parents !!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Oh my goodness congratulations 💗 I’m so excited to see your journey! You’ve always had that mom energy and I already know you’re gonna be the best momma ever!!! 💓💕
I feel your pain with infertility. I experienced 6 losses. We took a break from trying for a few years because we just couldn't ourselves through the pain. We decided to start trying again last year. So I went to the doctor to be checked out to make sure everything was in order only to find out I had a very invasive pre-cancer. They highly recommended a hysterectomy. I wasn't sure what to do. I had the option to have them remove the precancerous cells and then try to get pregnant after they removed all of the cells. I decided to go that route. I had three surgeries within a year to try to get all of the cells. The last of those surgeries I had they had removed part of my uterus and it caused major bleeding. When I woke up the doctor told me the hysterectomy was the best option because at this point I wouldn't be able to carry. I had the hysterectomy at the beginning of the year and found out I actually had very severe undiagnosed PCOS. Unfortunately I will not be able to have any biological children but I plan on adopting. There are so many ways to become a parent. The journey there is just harder for some. 🎉 Congratulations
I just went through something similar!! I had a ectopic pregnancy 14 years ago and the baby ruptured my fallopian tube so they had to take my left tube. Got pregnant about 10 years ago suffered a miscarriage. Then last year I went to the ER for gallbladder pain and while trying to diagnose the pain they found a 6 inch cyst on my right ovary. I had to have surgery to remove it and they took my right ovary. So now I only have a right fallopian tube and a left ovary. Every Dr says it's impossible for me to get pregnant now. I'll never have a biological child. And way too poor for IVF or adoption. I am looking into fostering kids though.
Aww, congratulations! I’m so happy for you. You’re going to be the best mom! I can’t wait to see the next chapter. You two are going to be the amazing parents 🥹💕🎉
I’m BAWLING !!!! Oh my GOOOOOOOOSH. I know how infertility feels, and I know how miracles feel. I’m so fricken happy for you !!! You are going to be the BEST mom ! And Adam is going to be the BEST dad. Love love LOVE !!!
Omg!!! Congratulations Celina!!! I usually just lurk in the shadows and don't comment, but this 100% deserves a comment! You and Adam deserve so much happiness 🥰 I'm so happy for y'all!🎉
@@lizbethwhite-gluz7880I don't want to ask on her thread... But is she still pregnant?? 😬 I'm worried. I don't watch all her videos so I don't know if she made an update? None of her titles would make me think she isn't, but she also doesn't speak about it after this.
My wife did a surrogate journey through CFC for an Aussie couple! They are fantastic and wonderful and really guided us as the surrogate process of us being able to provide someone a child who deserves it! I am so excited for you and Adam! Congrats!!
You and your wife are amazing. To provide the gift of life to a couple who want it so desperately. I'm sure it's not easy but I'm sure it's so rewarding. ❤
I used a surrogate for the last two. They will be two and four in August/September. We used NYC Fertility in New York. The surrogate was from Chicago. She is the best person I've ever met. We are from Texas, so it was a journey, but I could not imagine my life without this lady in it. Yes, they are my kiddos, but she is a part of our family for life.
Is there financial help to get a surrogate? I can imagine it isn't cheap, but would be something I would love to look into with trouble with my 1st/only. 😢
Congratulations! I'm SO happy for you! I had 7 losses (including 1 stillborn son at 39 weeks). My sweet little boy turns 2 next month. He was our last viable embryo and I just didn't trust my body anymore. He was transferred on my birthday, carried by my AMAZING friend who offered her body for 9 months to grow him and keep him safe, and he was born 4 days before our wedding anniversary in 2022. There are so many emotions that you go through when you have someone carrying for you but it is SO worth it in the end. We even got this AMAZING book to explain to our son about how he came into this world. It's called "the very kind koala". I highly recommend it!
It’s great to have friends like that. I have no one to offer surrogacy and it’s so expensive so happy for those that have friends like you do or money. I’m 46 and my journey is pretty much over. To say I’m not sad is an understatement.
@@user-gi1xr8tf1p It's a bit of a double edged sword, I feel. While I am so immensely grateful to have been blessed with a friend that offered, it unfortunately ended with my dear friend experiencing ppd and months after my son was born, requesting that we take space from one another because things were too hard. My heart hurts for a 10 year friendship to be affected but I also wouldn't have my son if it wasn't for that friend so I feel guilty because I wouldn't trade anything in the world for my sweet little boy. He is the biggest, most amazing gift I could ever be blessed with.
As someone who has just started trying to have kids and is having a hard time (we're only about 5 months in, but watching other people get pregnant right away is rough and there is stuff going on that has me worried long term) this gives me hope. I'm older than you when you started trying, but hopefully it doesn't take me a decade to get where I want to be.
I definitely feel this! ❤ 12+ years of infertility, health issues, foster care, adoption...it's a long, difficult and sometimes lonely road. Praying for a great outcome!
What wonderfully exciting and hopeful news! You are a unicorn in more ways than one. So many payers, love and white energy are heading your way from this fellow Ontarian!
GIRL I am so proud and I think we can say we love and will support you no matter what! We are so happy and love you Celina! I believe we all wish you a happy and smooth journey! You are going to be a wonderful mother and this child is going to love you and Adam! Congrats to you both ❤❤❤❤🎉
NO WAY. Yesterday the 3 year old vid about this popped up on my feed, and so I went on a dive of any your videos related to this - my heart just felt for you. The timing! Congratulations!!!!! Your kid is gonna have so much love from their parents ❤
Omg Celina! This is absolutely amazing news❤ All the years of heatbreak was worth the wait and the stepping stones for this opportunity in you and Adam's life. Nothing but positive vibes and love and support for your new journey🎉
CELINAAAAAAAAAA!!! I am SO happy and proud of you, I wish you all the love, happiness, peace, ease, and every positive force possible throughout your family’s journey. Congratulations Celina. You are going to bless this child with an incredible mother. Thank you for sharing with us. You deserve this!
Clicked so quick I nearly broke my fingers😩 we stan bridge talks! Xx I don’t wanna spoil the surprise but OH MY GOD A BABY SPOOKYBOO😭❤️ so happy for you and Adam! I’ve been hoping for this for you for so so long since I first saw your video talking about it. Happy tears :,)
Celina deserves all the happiness that'll come from this!! She's in such a stable position in her life now financially, a huge country home that's soft and warm, a doting husband, and they're ready for this!! So stoked to watch this all play out.
The way I WOO-HOOO so loud, I woke up my husband, my dad, our dog, and probably the neighborhood. Oh hun, i'm so happy for you and Adam. Sending nothing but POSTIVE VIBES and HUGE WARM HUGS to all of you. Lots of love from Long Island NY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A little spooky baby booboo!! I think mama boo and daddy boo will be amazing parents and so happy that you were able to find your confidence in this journey!
One of the singers from the group Presidents of the United States of America had his own lambing now for kids called Caspar baby pants and has a song called spooky baby 😅
There's no one that I've been hoping would announce something like this more than you. No one deserves it more. All the positive thoughts coming your way for this journey.
