Like his buddies and thought I hit let me just finish up orient and I remember that one of the devastating thing about -- you were told by doctors that would be your last pregnancy.
Yeah I think again -- -- will outweigh my advanced maternal age the number of C sections and -- had me and my history of -- -- so.
And those all of those things combined when do we knew I had one more shot.
And we are Chinese are frozen embryos from the cycle that gave us -- heat.
And they just critical air pulled somebody else embryos and we decided to carry that baby anyways because that's what we would have -- -- -- for.
And that AV became -- Logan man who you had to hand over them to -- -- chose to snap over to give it his biological parents and of course that was a very tough time.
You you -- I I think we its interest in because I think in ten plays a little bit and that we weren't intending to be a surrogate for anybody else but.
Again actually when it once when you do for us so we did exactly what we -- -- insulin into.
And Sean yet you wanted another child after Mary -- you wanted one more shot -- at the big family but it always dreamed of how to do decide to use.

I think well what happened was there was Caroline class pregnancy that was that was that was another.
Actor with the pregnancy -- -- noise that was going to be her last pregnancy because of medical difficulties so despite that we chose to move forward by.
By having Logan and handing him over and then.
We didn't want to give up on her dream of additional children and so that was their only route to go you know and so.
We chose that route and we would met with a wonderful lady Jennifer who became our guardian Angel as we move forward -- last two years.
That's so beautiful and of course it wasn't an easy road with -- -- that you chose Jennifer she suffered a miscarriage.
As well but then ultimately she had your twins I'm just curious what was the pregnancy like where she was carrying your trains -- You were invested emotionally of course.
Think you are overwhelmed with gratitude during the pregnancy and that in there wasn't a little bit of a feeling of helplessness I knew obviously between pregnancy -- high risk it's challenging.
And we wanted to do everything we could to support her and help her and what was the delivery like.
Surreal at first about the history I delivered myself so I've never you know when you're delivering your own baby don't get to see everything and I think watching them be -- In standing in the -- I'm at the overwhelming amount of gratitude that I had and it also helps me understand a little bit more about what we did for them -- -- that's us.
