They Dreamed For Years Of Being Parents And They Recently Welcomed Their First 2 Children, Born Within 3 Days Of One Another
A family in Tennessee is in baby bliss after they not only delivered a child via surrogacy but gave birth to their second child days later.
Clay and Meredith “Bo” McCord are a happily married couple who struggled for years to have a baby.
They tragically experienced three miscarriages and went through two rounds of IVF (In Vitro Fertilization).
After a four-year fertility journey, they finally became parents to two children using two different methods!
Before becoming pregnant, Clay and Bo reached out to their friends Thomas and Katie Morse. Bo and Thomas were college friends during their days at Samford University. Katie was a surrogate mother twice before.
Katie wasn’t actively looking to be the surrogate mother of a third child, but after growing closer to Bo, she knew she wanted to do this for their family.
During Katie’s pregnancy with their first child, the McCords soon found out that Bo was pregnant herself!
Bo was officially due two weeks later than Katie, and the McCords would find themselves welcoming two children into the world.

Katie believes that Bo’s pregnancy could have happened because so much stress was lifted off their family once they knew they would have a baby via surrogate. Either way, it’s a miracle!
On May 7th, Katie began having contractions and gave birth to James Wakefield McCord the next day – Mother’s Day.
Then just three days later, Bo gave birth to their daughter, Mary Clark McCord. Both mothers delivered the babies at Brookwood Baptist Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama.
Now, both families are doing great and enjoying time with each other.
“We couldn’t be happier. I must admit seeing my child for the first time was such an emotional experience and to do it all again just three days later and welcome our little girl, I just can’t describe the joy,” said Clay.
Congratulations to all involved in the lives of these two beautiful babies!
