The Real Housewives of Atlanta stars enlisted the help of a surrogate to welcome daughter Blaze into the world on Nov.22, 2019.Although it was initially a “tough decision” for the couple, they now say that they “wouldn’t change a thing.”
“We were just trying to figure out like, okay, should we do this? How can you trust somebody with your most precious possession, your most precious gift …somebody that you barely know?” Burruss said in an episode of Parents magazine’s We Are Family podcast.
“But now that it’s all said and done, I wouldn’t change a thing.It was the best decision that we could have made,” she added.
The mother of three — who also shares son Ace Wells with Tucker, and is mom to daughter Riley — said that her surrogate, Shadina, had carried for another family before, and so she “was really teaching” them “a lot of things” about the process .
“Once I got comfortable, then I started really appreciating the fact that [Shadina] was doing the heavy lifting,” she said.
For anyone else considering in vitro fertilization and/or surrogacy, Burruss advised, “I would definitely say go forward.
The research is the main thing.And then you just gotta trust and believe and just go for it.”
