The consequences of her daring step would want you to do something in life.

About Family 

Shaniece was brought up in a very warm family environment. It won’t be wrong to say that to her, the family held the top priority. Her parents were the school sweethearts who knew each other since the age of sixteen. She saw another fairy tale when her elder sister Linda married her beau right after completing her higher education. To Shaniece life was nothing but a beautiful one until the day she finds her sister struggling…

A New Life

While Shaniece was barely 14-years of age, Linda decided to move in with her partner Josh. She was excited to start her new life with him. While Shaniece was expected to be a little sad about this, she was happy for her sister and for herself. Shaniece was glad to know that she as the younger sibling won’t have to oblige to her elder sister’s orders and fulfill her stupid demands.

Childhood Madness

Just like any other siblings, Linda and Shaniece shared their side of craziness. Linda always dominated her as she was the elder one. She would ask her to get everything while she would lay back on the bed. Shaniece was but of course irritated with her elder sis and was often cranky at her. So when Shaniece learned that her sister was moving out, she knew that now she was the master.

Feeling Lonely

Though initially, she was happy to have her elder sister’s wardrobe all to herself, she soon only started to miss her. She would miss their cute-little fights, the way they would go shopping together, and how Linda would tease her. She felt isolated. Shaniece decides to meet Linda over the weekends and energizes herself for the upcoming week. But things didn’t go as planned.

Bitter-Truth

Shaniece had a lot to talk about to Linda. She took a bus all the way to Linda’s place and throughout the way was making mental notes of what all she had to say to her sister. As she reached her place, she never thought that she would be finding Linda in that condition.

That Was Strange

As Shaniece was walking towards Linda’s house, she saw her brother-in-law Josh. He was sitting in his red truck and had a very stern look on his face. She stopped by him to greet him, but strangely Josh went pass her without meeting her. Shaniece found it a little awkward but did not bother much about it. It was only after she met Linda, things made sense.

In Tears

Shaniece knocks at Linda’s door in hurry. As she steps in she was shocked to witness what she saw. She was least expecting something like this. Linda was sobbing. She was in tears. Her hair undone, her eyes puffy and red, her voice choked and her mascara ran down her cheeks. Shaniece was scared.

Shocked

Shaniece ran to Linda and hugged her tight. She questioned her if Josh did something unpleasant or if he had hurt her which made her cry. Shaniece wipes off her tears. She couldn’t see her sister like that. Linda’s response shocked her. She said in a stern voice that she has asked Josh to leave. Shaniece knew that something terrible had taken place between the duo.

Bothered

Shaniece for an instant couldn’t believe what Linda told her. She then took her to her instincts and recalled that even her parents asked Linda to not marry at such an early age. And it was probably there immature behavior that they have landed in such a bad phase today. But Linda had an entirely different story to tell her.

A Test

Linda told Shaniece that the couple had been trying for a baby for a year, but unfortunately, the things have not been working out as expected. The couple had already spent enough money on IVF treatments and were not in a position to afford another attempt. However, Josh wanted to give it a try. A try too tough to ever succeed.

Convincing Her

Shaniece had tears in her eyes knowing that her sister was going through so much and she had no clues about it. That was not all and Linda told her that she had recently suffered a miscarriage and now she was not optimistic when it came to having a family. Shaniece stayed over her sister’s place to convince her to give a try another time. However, things were going out of control.

 Depression

Linda was moving into the state of depression and nothing in life gave her happiness. She did not even let Shaniece and Josh meet her. Her husband and sister were both worried to see her like that. Then Josh came up with an unorthodox idea to cheer his wife up. But would this idea work was something both Shaniece and Josh were unsure of. Little did Shaniece knew that her life would turn a 360 with what was coming.

A Suggestion

Josh had this thought of asking his own sister if she could act as a surrogate for their child. However, he was not sure how would Linda and his own sister react to this one. After all, it was a very big thing that Josh would be asking his sister to do. It was the only way he could return his wife’s smile back to her. Will his sister agree or something more unfortunate was yet to come their way?

A Sacrifice

Initially, Linda did not agree of Josh’s idea but after much convincing, she agreed. They invited Josh’s sister over their place to ask if she was ready to make such a big sacrifice for his brother and his family. The couple did not invest in much hopes with the sister as they knew it was something too much to ask someone for.

The Unexpected

As Josh’s sister heard about the situation her brother landed into, her heart melted. She could see in his eyes how badly he wanted to have a family. Moreover, Linda’s miscarriage news left her speechless. After thinking for a moment, the least expected words came through her mouth.

Bring It On

Josh’s sister agreed to help her brother. She wanted to give her brother and Linda the happiness they have been craving to taste since long. She couldn’t keep them from tasting the joy of parenthood. She was all up for embarking on this new journey. Yet again, she was not aware of how one decision of hers would impact the teen Shaniece.

Wandering Thoughts

Shaniece was astonished at Josh’s sister call. She was surprised by how selflessly the woman agreed to help her brother. How can one without thinking about one’s health agree to do something this demanding? Carrying a baby inside one’s womb and then at the end of nine months handing over it to someone else needed courage. But was Shaniece thinking all this when she should have been happy for her sister?

Decision Time

Shaniece had these vague thoughts that whether she had a heart this big to do something like that? Does she have the courage to carry someone else’s baby in her womb and then emotionlessly handover it to the parents? She was lost deep in her thoughts when she got the news of Linda becoming the mom through surrogacy, at last, takes a decision.

Dream Come True

When Shainece learned about Linda finally turning into a mother and tasting motherhood, she couldn’t control her tears. She was so happy that tears ran down her cheeks. That day, when Shaniece was barely 14-years-old, she took a decision. She promised herself that someday in future she would want to make someone’s dream of becoming parents true. If she ever got a chance, she would love to act as a surrogate for someone. Poor Shaniece couldn’t have thought of the consequences back then.

Life Changing Call

Shaniece was just 21 when she first met Jonna and Steve. The couple was looking for a surrogate and Shaniece knew it was time to put her promise into action. She decided to act as a surrogate to them and flew all over the way to Los Angeles and undergo an IVF Treatment. But, unfortunately, things did not go as they were supposed to.

Something Strange

Shaniece had already seen Josh’s sister during the phase when she was carrying Linda and Josh’s baby in her womb. She somewhat was aware of the challenges that pregnancy brought along, but what she was feeling was completely different. After her first trimester, her morning sickness manifolded. Something was off then.

Stressing Over

Shaniece was very young to carry a baby. And things were turning stress-worthy when her nausea was accompanied by sleep deprivation. This wasn’t all. Her stomach began to grow enormous. This was not at all usual. It would keep on growing and growing. She decides to meet her doctor then.

Not Usual

Every woman knows that from the onset of the fifth month of pregnancy the belly begins to grow. But Shaniece was experiencing it a little soon. Though the pregnancy did not interrupt her daily chores except for the fact that she had severe back pain, her bulging stomach won’t stop from growing large and large.

Bothered Biological Parents

Jonna and Steve were worried as well. They were confused at the sight of Shaniece’s belly’s size. The couple was over the moon to have got Shaniece as a surrogate mother for their child and such strange sights were indicative of the complications. Will Shaniece be able to bring the fortune to the couple?

Visit Doctor

The gynecologist was too taken aback at Shaniece’s concern. She was in her second trimester and the doctor performs an ultrasound on her. She rubs some gel over her stomach and starts looking in the screen to find out the issue. And the results left the couple and Shaniece both wondering.

Dear Baby

Steve, Jonna, and Shaniece developed cracks over their heads. All they hoped and prayed was for a proper and healthy baby. But the doctor’s expressions made it all clear. “Is anything wrong? Are there any complications in this case? Isn’t the baby responding? “Shaniece was occupied with all these unpleasant questions and then finally the doctor broke the silence.

Triplets Woman

The doctor spoke out the words least expected. “You are carrying Triplets Shaniece, and the babies are growing due to which your stomach is growing than usual.” Shaniece was worried about this news instead of being happy. She was wondering how would the couple react to this news, as they wanted a single baby and not three. Would Jonna and Steve go mad?

Enormous

Luckily the couple was overjoyed with this news. They always wanted a baby, and now that they were getting three, they considered themselves to be very lucky and blessed. As months passed, Shaniece belly grew enormous. She faced severe body cramps and contractions but she did not let it all bother her as she knew she was doing a good deed.

The Awaited Birth

After nine months of struggling with a huge baby bump, Shaniece finally gave birth to three gorgeous babies. Jonna and Steve were blessed with two baby girls and a baby boy. They named their babies as Willow, Daisy, and Harrison. A girl who was barely 21 years in age was so inspired by a little act of kindness she witnessed in her teen days that she did something this beautiful for someone.

Best Experience

In words of Shaniece, it was a beautiful experience for her. Something she would cherish forever. She says that it is no less than a pure bliss to feel some movement inside you. Moreover, she also thanks Jonna and Steve for their tremendous support throughout her pregnancy phase. Yet this wasn’t all.

No Good Bye

After giving birth to the triplets, Shaniece did not bid farewell to them. She visits them on their every birthday and spoils her kids with all the love and care. She feels truly blessed to be attached to those babies as someone no less than a mother. Also to all those people who questioned her decision, she had something for them.

Misconceptions

Shaniece sheds some knowledge to all those who had not supported her in this bold decision. She says that a lot of people have this misconception that the surrogate mother donates her egg to the couple. But that is not the case. The surrogate mother just serves as a host for the development of the fertilized egg.

Toll On Body

Shaniece also says that pregnancy is no cake walk. The phase takes a toll on a woman’s body. Not only is her health disturbed but her hormones undergo a major change. Moreover, it’s not only physical changes but more of psychological ones. And when it comes to experiencing it in such a young age, it has even adverse effects.

Future Complications

Shaniece is currently in a relationship and she shares the ill-experience of her life she had to face now. She recently had a miscarriage and wonders that giving birth to a set of the triplet in her young age had somewhere hindered with the uterus and thus she was facing problems in carrying the baby. However, she still feels proud to be a surrogate to someone and advice others too, to do something like that.

Research Work

Shaniece says that she would advise surrogacy to anyone who desires it as it is completely safe. But she also advises the one going for it to have a proper research over the pros and cons of the subject. It is extremely important that a surrogate mother has constant support around her.

 Not For Money Making

People often think that surrogacy is done for making money. But this is an entirely wrong perception. As a  surrogate mother is never paid for carrying a couple’s baby, but all she is paid is for the expenses that she will have to incur on the baby while she is pregnant. This is an emotional settlement and not a financial deal.

Parental Control

Shaniece had another say to her tale. She feels that in surrogacy contract, a surrogate mother is given more control and deciding power to make some decisions. But she feels the biological parents should be given more control and they should be the deciding authority as it is their baby and they have a right to say in everything concerning the child.

An Inspiration

Shaniece’s tale is the one which has inspired a lot of couples to go for surrogacy treatment. It at the same time has somewhere changed people’s perception of this medical treatment. It is needless to say that this young woman had fulfilled the dream for a couple in the best way possible. She is a true inspiration.
