EXCLUSIVE: Why This Mom Kept the Birth of Daughter via Surrogacy a Secret ... Even From Her Own Mother
"Warsavsky, 35, tells TODAY.com she's experienced about 10 pregnancy losses over the years. When it came to trying to have a third child, she and her husband eventually turned to surrogacy, something they had considered for years. Their surrogate was pregnant "within six months of the day that I met her," Warsavsky says. But, it turned out to be ectopic - the fertilized egg implanted outside the uterus."
"Warsavsky had already been on the fence about telling people. 'And then when that happened, I was like, 'OK, I cannot tell a single person, not my parents, not my kids, until we have a living, breathing baby,' she recalls. About a year later, Warsavsky brought her daughter Olive home to New York City from a hospital in Syracuse. Warsavksy's mom and daughters had no idea a baby was on the way - and she caught their surprise on camera."
