“A Christmas miracle to be remembered” – Wednesday, December 20th, 2000

Everyone’s eyes were on the cart as it was pushed into the hospital room.

The two tightly-wrapped babies gurgled slightly as everyone oohhed and aahhed. The word “miracle” escaped the mother’s mouth as she gazed fondly at the boy and girl twins she did not give birth to.

The twins, Victoria Elizabeth and Peter Alexander, are a “gift” from gestational surrogate mother Sally Rhoads of Stratford to Heather and Sergey, a couple from Maryland, who can’t conceive.
