These Dads Lost Everything, and Then They Found Each Other
- After enduring a prolonged and difficult fertility journey marked by 20 failed IVF attempts and multiple miscarriages, Rohan Silva and his wife Kate had two children through surrogacy in 2023 and 2024, with their babies arriving about four months apart in Kansas City and Mississippi.
- Their surrogacy journey began after the death of their premature daughter Zola in 2022, which led them to work with a surrogate named Ava, as they had believed natural conception was unlikely.
- Both pregnancies progressed healthily, with Kate giving birth on July 24, 2024, and Ava delivering the second baby four months later, creating a rare 'twiblings' situation of close-aged siblings not born as twins.
- Rohan mentioned that they were surprised Ava became pregnant on her initial attempt and recalled having photos capturing the two women holding hands throughout the entire process, emphasizing the close connection they shared.
- The Silva family’s experience underscores evolving societal acceptance of diverse family formation, with hopes that surrogacy becomes viewed as just another way to create loving families.
