California couple takes winding path to parenthood through surrogacy, Ukraine and COVID-19.
Yuvaraj and Sarvicka Nagendram, 56 and 49, respectively, called their new baby"the gift of a lifetime," but the journey to adoption was a long one that's still not over.
"We went through a lot of treatment, but weren't successful," Yuvaraj recalled."I saw an article on the BBC News [about surrogacy]. There was a lot of clinics that provide surrogacy. I looked through a lot of agencies."In June 2018, the couple found an agent in Ukraine, who took them to the surrogacy motherhood center BioTexCom in Kyiv.
Yuvaraj and Sarvicka Nagendram live in California, but adopted a baby through a surrogate in Kyiv, Ukraine. The couple waited two years, but restrictions due to coronavirus now mean they aren't sure when they can go to Ukraine to meet their new child.Finally, on May 5, the agent called to say that the baby boy had arrived.
"We show babies to their parents online and our managers arrange video calls," the nurse says in the video."It's heartbreaking to see how parents miss their little ones."
