She got to be a part of it, and I got to be a part of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since Ashleigh&#8217;s delivery, a second same-sex couple in North Texas chose reciprocal effortless IVF at CARE Fertility, got pregnant and delivered a healthy baby girl in September.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#appId=172516468500&amp;xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:comments numposts=\"10\" width=\"425\" publish_feed=\"true\"><\/fb:comments><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A female couple in Dallas are celebrating what\u2019s been dubbed a &#8220;miracle baby&#8221; that each of them carried for a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":21025,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[195],"tags":[213],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
