I cant believe that our gorgeous three are now 20 months old and the terrible twos are fast approaching!
Seriously being their Mum just keeps getting better. I still pinch myself that we got so lucky.
They are climbing everywhere, running (although Sophie is still more tottery than Lilly and Jack)
Jack is now in his own room because he was able to climb safely out of his cot. He now has a racing car bed and loooves it
Here are some recent pics.
It's hard to keep their pants on these days.....preferring to watch Daddy mow the lawn then play dressup with Mummy!
And finally a video that captures our kids laughter.....here they are on Chuggington ride. That white jumper Sophie is wearing had chocolate milkshake all over it later that day!
Congratulations to our gorgeous extended family in Argentina on the birth of Teo Benjamin....a very successful sibling project through SCI. Love you Palmese Family! And to Jenni and Brian and their gorgeous newborn daughter Rani - so over the moon for you.
Finally I am so so happy that we had our children through SCI under the very capable hands of Dr Shivani. I love being part of this special family. xxxx Love to you all and our surrogate Mums L and K xxxxx

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI am Dr. Sharvari Karandikar, Assistant Professor at the College of Social Work, Ohio State University, USA. I am contacting you because my colleague Dr. Lindsay Gezinski and I are interested in conducting research with couples that have used transnational surrogacy services. We are specifically studying your motivations and experiences of international surrogacy. We would also like to learn about your perceptions of the surrogate mothers. The interviews will take 30-40 minutes and will be conducted via Skype or telephone. We will give you a $10 amazon gift card as reimbursement for participating in the study.
This research will help us develop empirical knowledge base on experiences, problems and difficulties of international gestational surrogacy. This information is not available to social scientists and there is a big gap in the literature on this topic. This research will also help us advocate for rights of parents and surrogates involved in the process, in doing so we hope to be instrumental in informing social work practices and policies on the issue.
Your experience is very important, so we hope you will consider participating in this study. Please let us know if you are interested. You can email us your decision to participate at karandikar-chheda.1@osu.edu
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Sharvari Karandikar-Chheda, Ph.D.
