From Loss to New Beginnings
When Gilad and Rebekah began trying to grow their family, they never anticipated the heartbreaking challenges they would face.
Rebekah experienced an ectopic pregnancy that required emergency surgery—twice in the span of 24 hours. It was a devastating moment, one that ultimately changed the course of their family-building journey.
“Once we realized that us having another pregnancy at home on our own was not an option,” Rebekah shared, “I felt numb. I was still mourning the loss of future pregnancies when we decided on surrogacy. But I think it helped give me a sense of purpose while I was still mourning.”
Navigating Uncertainty: Finding Clarity with American Surrogacy
The early days of the surrogacy process were filled with uncertainty, but as they moved forward, Gilad and Rebekah began to find clarity and hope.
“There’s definitely the numb phase because you don’t know what the next steps will be,” Rebekah explained. “But slowly and surely, you start to get more answers.”
A pivotal moment in their journey came when they spoke with Jade, their surrogacy specialist. “There was just this immediate comfort with her,” Rebekah recalled. “I felt that it breathed life into this situation for us.”
“American Surrogacy just had options and responsiveness,” Gilad said. “I knew we were getting an agency that genuinely cared.”

Love Beyond Measure: Their Surrogate and the Birth of Their Son
As the months passed and they prepared to meet their child, the emotions of the journey became even more profound.
The birth of their son was an indescribable moment. “The most unexpected thing for me at the birth of our son was not only this overwhelming sense of love for your son, but I also had this incredible, overwhelming sense of love for our surrogate,” Gilad said.
“I’m staring at my wife. I’m staring at our surrogate. The baby comes out, time stops… and you’re overjoyed.”
A Journey Worth Every Step: Looking Back with Gratitude
The gratitude they feel toward their surrogate is immeasurable. “It’s overwhelming, and how do you say thank you to someone for doing that for you?” Gilad reflected. “Our son would not exist without our surrogate.”
Looking back on their surrogacy experience, Rebekah is grateful for the guidance they received. “I didn’t know how to go through this journey without guidance, and American Surrogacy really guided me—to safety, to happiness, to fulfillment. And I’m eternally grateful for that.”
For Gilad and Rebekah, surrogacy was not just a medical or legal process—it was a deeply emotional journey of resilience, love, and profound gratitude.
Today, they hold their son in their arms, knowing that their path, though difficult, led them exactly where they were meant to be.
