I became a surrogate mother for my twin brother—but when he saw his newborn daughter, he said, “I can’t take this baby.”
My twin brother, Ethan Bennett, and his wife, Vanessa Cole, had spent years hoping to have a child.
So when they finally asked if I would consider being their surrogate, I said yes.
Ethan wasn’t just my brother; he was my best friend. He had supported me through some of the hardest times in my life, especially after our parents passed away.
I already had a son, Noah. I understood the kind of love that Ethan and Vanessa longed to experience, and if I could help them get it, I wanted to.
From the beginning, they were involved in everything. Every appointment at Willowcrest Medical Center.
Every ultrasound. Every update about the baby growing inside me. When we found out the baby was a girl, Vanessa burst into tears.
Shortly after, they started buying tiny dresses, blankets, and toys. They decorated a beautiful nursery in their Bellmere home.
