About the Author

Hi! I'm Danielle! I'm married to the love of my life and we have two amazing beautiful little girls. Aside from being a full time Mommy and Wife, I work full time outside our home. I completed my first journey as a Gestational Surrogate for an amazing couple from Italy when I delivered their identical twin boys on December 18, 2011! I completed my second journey on June 9, 2013 when I delivered a handsome little boy for a good friend and her husband. Both of my journeys have been wonderful experiences that have not only created families for my IPs but have expanded my own family as well. I couldn't have asked for more! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog! :) Feel free to email me at: ovenonloan@yahoo.com!
