After 5 years of trying and 10 rounds of artificial insemination, the American couple officially became parents to 5 children at once.
The lesbian couple welcomed 5 children into the world in 2013.
The story of love and the reproductive ѕtгᴜɡɡɩeѕ of the lesbian couple Liz and Nadia Harris gained worldwide fame in 2013 when the mother of color unexpectedly gave birth to 5 babies at 28 weeks of pregnancy.
However, it was not easy for this lesbian couple to have 5 babies as they had previously gone through an extremely сһаɩɩeпɡіпɡ journey to become mothers.
Liz and Nadia Harris got married in 2008 and immediately planned to have children. However, after nearly 5 years of trying and 9 rounds of in vitro fertilization, the results were still not successful. Not giving up hope, the two women poured all their strength into hoping for the 10th round of IVF, and this time they were overwhelmed with joy when the doctor announced, “You are carrying a lot of pregnancies!”
Before that, the couple spent 5 years trying and underwent 9 rounds of IVF but to no avail.
The couple was overjoyed when they welcomed 5 children at once.
During Nadia Harris’ pregnancy, she fасed сһаɩɩeпɡeѕ as she frequently had to visit the NICU Touro healthcare center to monitor the pregnancy and the babies’ health. Despite doctors advising selective reduction to ensure the optimal development of the babies, the same-ѕex couple declined, believing that “these are gifts from God, and they will keep all of them.”
At 28 weeks of pregnancy, Nadia Harris underwent a cesarean section, and the 5 babies, 4 boys and 1 girl named Michael, David, Maxwell, Joseph, and Elizabeth, were born healthy.
The happiness of seeing the 5 children grow up healthy is what brings them the most joy.
