Abiola Adebayo, the Nigerian actress, and Oluwaseyi Akinrinde, her husband, have welcomed their first child — a boy — through surrogacy.
Surrogacy is a process where a woman carries a baby for someone who cannot have children.
This is done by fertilizing eggs from the surrogate or an egg donor with sperm from a donor to create an embryo.
In a post via Instagram on Tuesday, the actress shared a picture of the baby’s legs on her palms.
In an accompanying caption, Adebayo narrated the struggles she and her husband endured while trying to conceive a child.
She also expressed her gratitude to God for blessing them with a son through their surrogate mother.
“After one failed IVF, one cancelled surrogate circle, and three failed surrogate attempts in two years, God has finally blessed my husband and I with a great son through our surrogate mom,” she said.
“Through it all, God has been so good to us and we’re grateful for this great testimony. Thank you Abba Father. God bless our doctors. God bless our surrogate mom.
“It’s a new dawn! Welcome to the world Baby TA.”
