Here’s an incredible story of Kim Overton, a solo starter who chose to have a baby without a partner because she was already battling uterine fibroids. Nevertheless, with the surgical removal of fibroids, the first time she decided to have a baby, and she did. The second time she went in for the fibroid removal through surgery, the doctors told that her pregnancy would not stick due to the continual growth of her fibroids plus the age factor. But Kim was determined to have a baby again. This was when she thought of going in for surrogacy.
By now Kim was married. With her new husband on her side and the matchless gift of surrogacy that she received from her cousin’s daughter Cydnee, her family grew to five.
When her son Oliver was born through surrogacy, Leilani Rogers, the celebrated birth photographer captured these incredible moments. The birth story has been beautifully documented by her on Kim’s blog.
