My Identical Twin Is Carrying My Rainbow Baby


Listen Later

Identical twin sisters Amy and Courtney, who jokingly refer to themselves as 'lefty' and 'righty', both knew that they'd have to pursue IVF in order to have children so they wouldn't pass down a rare genetic condition. They didn't imagine the years of fertility treatments, set-backs and losses they'd experience, or that they would become even more connected than they already were.


36 years after sharing their mother's uterus, the twins are sharing a pregnancy journey again -- this time through Courtney, who is acting as gestational surrogate for Amy and her husband's baby.


This is a story of preserving through challenges, building a family when the odds are stacked against you, and the deep love and connection shared by twin sisters.



This episode is supported by Marin Fertility Center, a National Center of fertility excellence located in Marin, CA with the highest quality medical care, a patient-centered approach and affordable effective treatment options.
