A Joyful Arrival in Cincinnati
We are delighted to announce the safe arrival of a healthy baby boy on May 2, 2026, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Born at a strong 6 lbs, 11 oz at 39 weeks and 1 day via vaginal delivery, both the gestational carrier and the baby are doing beautifully — a textbook full-term delivery and the kind of calm, joyful welcome every family hopes for.
A First-Transfer Success From Start to Finish
This journey was, in a word, smooth. Pregnancy was achieved on the very first embryo transfer — and from that moment forward, every milestone unfolded without medical setbacks. Prenatal checkups stayed steady, the third trimester progressed exactly on track, and labor arrived right on schedule at 39 weeks. Single-transfer success stories like this one are the result of careful surrogate matching, thorough medical screening, and the trust and commitment that everyone — clinicians, gestational carrier, and intended parents — brought to the table.
A Japan–US Collaborative Surrogacy Story
This birth also adds to Ivy Surrogacy's growing portfolio of Japan–US collaborative surrogacy cases — a model we are proud to be part of as more families discover this pathway to parenthood.
