My Seven Gifts: A Surrogate's Story

Ever wondered just what it takes to become a surrogate mother?

Author Tawni Rae was once told that she would never be able to have children. Little could she have imagined that she would eventually give birth to not only three babies of her own, but also seven surrogate infants. And now, Rae has chosen to share her journey in My Seven Gifts: A Surrogate's Story.

From meeting the intended parents, to the implantation procedure and beyond, Rae gives readers an intimate look at what it takes for a woman to carry a baby that is not her biological child. My Seven Gifts draws readers into the one woman's courage and determination. Along the way, Rae overcomes overwhelming difficulties and even challenges her own prejudices when she makes the decision to carry a baby for a same-sex couple.

Why would a woman risk her health and undergo such an emotional process to help families she barely knows? In Rae's own words, she made that choice ''Because I wanted to help another woman become a mom.''
