Would she carry another child afterbabyNo.
The first family that the surrogacy unicorn offered to help was actually her own extended family.
However, the couple declined because they did not feel thatsurrogacywas the path that they wanted to take.
Maybe I could help.
In most cases, at least one parent is genetically related to the child, but the surrogate isnt.
Then, its transferred to thesurrogate,who carries the pregnancy.
And then she spoke about it again and again.
I was shot down by him so many times, Westerfield explained.
Or he just got sick of me nagging.
I created a profile and just put myself out there.
I was overwhelmed with the response and just inundated with emails and queries.
Ultimately, Westerfield settled on one family that lived three hours away from her house.
In 2015, she delivered the couples third child, a girl.
Thats when everything started.
It was almost just like, Now who else can I help?'
I get attached like a loving aunt.
After her July delivery, Westerfield is determined to persist in assisting intended parents to grow their families.
Ill continue to help as long as my body and my family allows me to.
She is an angel for helping others, someone commented
