A Journey of Love and Resilience: Amita and Sham’s Surrogacy Story
Embarking on a surrogacy journey is an emotional and life-changing experience for many couples. For Amita and Sham, their path to parenthood was marked by a decade of perseverance, hope, and, ultimately, the joy of welcoming twin boys into their lives. Here’s their inspiring story of resilience and the incredible support they found at the World Center of Baby (WCOB).
A Long Journey Together
Amita and Sham, a couple from London, have been married for over 13 years. What began as a beautiful wedding in Bali in 2011 soon turned into a long, emotionally challenging journey to become parents. For ten years, Amita battled endometriosis and adenomyosis—two conditions that severely impacted her fertility. Despite the numerous challenges they faced, the couple never gave up on their dream of starting a family.
The Path to Surrogacy
Amita discovered her condition after years of enduring what she thought were normal symptoms. It wasn’t until they visited a second IVF clinic in Spain that she was officially diagnosed with endometriosis and adenomyosis. Unfortunately, these conditions created a barrier to fertility, rendering traditional methods ineffective. After enduring 15 rounds of IVF across multiple countries, the emotional and physical toll of these attempts was immense.
The couple’s determination was met with heartbreak, including the loss of twin boys and a daughter during pregnancy. However, they never lost hope. After extensive research, Amita and Sham found WCOB online, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their journey to parenthood. With empathy, professionalism, and no hard-sell tactics, WCOB and their coordinator, Tetiana, provided the couple with the support they desperately needed.
Surrogacy at WCOB: The Next Chapter
Amita and Sham’s decision to move forward with surrogacy came after careful consideration, and WCOB helped them navigate every step. Even in the face of global uncertainties, including the war in Ukraine, the couple felt reassured by the dedicated care they received.
In April of last year, they signed the necessary paperwork and arranged for the transportation of their biological material to WCOB via Slovakia. The process took around three months, but the journey was worth the wait. Their surrogate, who they describe as “priceless,” played an integral role in their journey. Regular updates, scans, and visits kept Amita and Sham connected, even from a distance, ensuring they felt involved every step of the way.
The Birth of Their Twins
Their twin boys, Rey and Ryo, were born five weeks premature, but from the moment Amita and Sham met them, their hearts were full. The medical team at WCOB provided exceptional care to both the surrogate and the newborns. From day one, the couple felt supported by the nannies, nurses, and doctors, whose attention and dedication were unmatched.
Amita recalls the overwhelming emotions of seeing their tiny babies for the first time. This long-awaited moment, after so much loss and heartache, was more than just the highlight of their surrogacy journey—it was the highlight of their lives.
Reflecting on the Journey and Offering Advice
When asked what advice they would give to others considering surrogacy, Amita and Sham emphasized the importance of research and finding a clinic that offers transparency, support, and empathy. Their experience with WCOB exceeded their expectations, from the legal aspects of surrogacy to the incredible post-birth care. WCOB’s dedication to ensuring their legal rights as parents and the smooth handling of all necessary paperwork, including birth certificates and passports, was invaluable.
They also shared their experience of choosing Ukraine as their surrogacy destination. Despite concerns about travel and the ongoing war, they found the Ukrainian people to be incredibly kind, resilient, and welcoming. Ukraine turned out to be the perfect place for their surrogacy journey—not only because of the clinic but also because of the culture and the people they encountered.
A Story of Hope
Amita and Sham’s story is one of resilience, love, and the incredible power of surrogacy to bring new life into the world. After years of heartache and countless setbacks, their journey to parenthood finally had a happy ending. Today, their twin boys are a reminder of the hope they clung to and the incredible support they received along the way.
