She carried her baby — and changed her life forever.
When two women, 2,700 miles apart, said yes to surrogacy, neither expected the friendship, faith, and joy that would follow.
In this unforgettable episode, Whitney talks with Jackie, a single mom from New York, and Kaitlin, a first-time surrogate from Washington, whose journey together brought Jackie’s daughter into the world — and bonded their families for life.

Across the country, Kaitlin felt called to help another woman experience the joy of family. Through trust, communication, and laughter, their paths came together in the most beautiful way — from a Foo Fighters concert to delivery day, when Jackie caught her baby girl as Kaitlin laughed her into the world.
