I Didn’t Carry Her in

I Didn’t Carry Her in My Womb, But I Carry Her in My Soul —Ini Edo

Coming home to her tiny arms, hearing “Momma!” after a long day… that’s the joy I prayed for.

I chose surrogacy after so much loss. My marriage didn’t work out, but my desire to be a mother never left. The first time I held her, I asked, “Why couldn’t I birth her myself?” But over time, I found my answer.

Love isn’t just in the womb—it’s in the heartbeats shared, the late-night cuddles, the giggles that heal you.

She didn’t grow in me. But she grew in my heart. And now, she is my world.
