When giving up is not an option.
The McArthur family's surrogacy journey. The road to parenthood isn't easy for everyone. Nikki and Matt found out that they were pregnant two years ago.

Welcome baby Keita
Born 2nd December 2018, 0920am, 3.27kg @ Christchurch Women's Hospital As I walked into their room at St George's Hospital Maternity Ward, I was delightlfully surprised by how chilled out these guys were! I remember when I had my son, my first born, I was on-edge, trying to learn how to look after a tiny little human being. It was a huge deal and I had so much to learn! But these guys are pros now. With one gorgeous little two year old boy already, they know what they're doin
