A Baby Boy Arrives in Torrance, California — Welcomed by a Familiar, Trusted Surrogate

On August 25, 2026, a healthy baby boy made his arrival in Torrance, California, weighing a wonderful 8 pounds 5 ounces and delivered vaginally. For his intended parents, this moment was the answer to years of hoping — and the beginning of everything.

Every gestational surrogacy journey has its own rhythm, and this one carried a quiet lesson in perseverance. The first embryo transfer did not take, but the family and their gestational carrier moved forward together, and the second transfer brought the news everyone had been waiting for. From embryo transfer through delivery, this pregnancy was steady, well-supported, and full of anticipation.

What makes this birth especially meaningful to our team is the woman at the heart of it. This gestational carrier is a proven surrogate — she has completed a full surrogacy journey before, and her first journey was also with Ivy Surrogacy. When she was ready to help another family, she chose to come back. There is no greater compliment to our program, and no greater gift to the intended parents, than an experienced carrier who returns because she believes in the process and the people.

To the new parents: congratulations. Your son is here, healthy and strong, and your family's next chapter begins now. And to this remarkable gestational carrier: thank you. Twice now, you have given families the one thing they could not achieve alone. Your generosity, reliability, and heart are what make stories like this possible.

If you are considering growing your family through surrogacy — whether you are a heterosexual couple, a same-sex couple, or a single intended parent, in the U.S. or abroad — we would love to talk with you about your path. Some families need a gestational carrier; others also need egg or sperm donation; single women and female couples may only need sperm donation.
