They knew early in their relationship they wanted children, but struggled to conceive. In vitro fertilization (IVF) was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n<p>Then Danny\u2019s sister, Katie Thrush, offered to be their surrogate. Katie is an imaging scheduler at MultiCare Auburn Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p>Baby Theodore was just a few days old, snoozing in his carrier, as the couple talked about their journey to bring him into their world. Just a few days into parenthood and they were already sleep-deprived, but still amazed.<\/p>\n<p>Danny talked about how grateful he was that his sister agreed to carry his son. Then he smiled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe missed his actual birth,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Journey to a family<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ashley knew the odds were against her carrying a child. The women in her family all had hysterectomies early in life.<\/p>\n<p>As years passed without conception, the couple decided to see a fertility specialist.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which causes multiple cysts in the ovaries. She was also diagnosed with adenomyosis, where the lining of the uterus grows into the uterine wall, resulting in higher rates of miscarriage.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley and Danny decided to try IVF. The couple stored a few embryos and started the process. In the first attempt, Ashley had a miscarriage. The embryo didn\u2019t attach to the uterus in their second attempt.<\/p>\n<p>The couple was heartbroken. They had two embryos left, but doctors determined it was unlikely Ashley would be able to carry a child to term.<\/p>\n<p>Their doctor suggested looking into a surrogate or considering adoption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were open to either,\u201d Ashley says. \u201cWe just wanted a family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When they talked about it with Danny\u2019s family, Katie said, \u201cI\u2019ll do this for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The couple had new hope. But they had to wait in line \u2014 Katie was pregnant with her own child when she offered to help.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Katie\u2019s journey to a family<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Katie had a good sense of what she was offering. For years she wanted a child, but her partners did not. For that reason and others, the relationships dissolved.<\/p>\n<p>She decided she would become a mother regardless, and went through intrauterine insemination. She became pregnant on the first attempt.<\/p>\n<p>Katie admits she didn\u2019t really want to be pregnant again so soon after she had her baby boy, but she wanted to do all she could to help her brother have a family of his own. The three spoke with the fertility doctor, who suggested she wait one year after her son\u2019s birth before attempting IVF.<\/p>\n<p>During that year, Katie, Danny and Ashley prepared. They worked with attorneys to ensure the legal processes were followed. They went to mental health counseling. They talked about what to expect \u2014 how surrogacy might affect each of them, during and especially after the birth. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-36077 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/ivf-procedure-day-ashley-katie-danny-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Two adults in medical gowns and caps stand alongside a third adult in a hospital bed, also wearing a cap and covered in a white blanket\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/ivf-procedure-day-ashley-katie-danny-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/ivf-procedure-day-ashley-katie-danny-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/ivf-procedure-day-ashley-katie-danny.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On her son\u2019s first birthday, Katie was ready to try.

He was a healthy 7 pounds, 3 ounces.<\/p>\n<p>Labor started slowly just after midnight. Nurses suggested Danny and Ashley go home to rest. It would be a while, they said.
