The Surrogacy Process
The process took months but eventually, in 2015 Chris and Rachelle Chapman saved enough to go further with the surrogacy process. They got in contact with a surrogacy agency and found a surrogate mother for their baby. The good news arrived quickly as the surrogate was pregnant with their baby.
Kaylee Is Born
They named their baby girl Kaylee. Rachelle remembered in an interview: “Chris and I together as a team are more than capable of taking care of a baby, especially with the help of my mother, who was all in from the beginning.”
The Story Of Their Lives
In 2015, Rachelle Chapman wrote a book about her experience and what an unexpected journey it has been. Her book titled: “The Promise: A Tragic Accident, a Paralyzed Bride, and the Power of Love, Loyalty, and Friendship” was a New York Times Bestseller.
The Old Friendship Dies Out
Rachelle once talked about the friend who pushed her in the pool in an interview: “In the beginning, she was there for me and I was there for her. She was distraught and depressed about what happened. But as the years passed, she didn’t make the effort, it was just going through the motions and every time we spoke.”
The Fractured Friendship
Rachelle was separated from her friend. Although the two of them don’t talk anymore, Rachelle neither revealed that friend’s name nor she held her responsible for what happened. She is not holding any grudges for her as she is still being a loyal friend.
Kaylee Learns To Stand Up
Rachelle Chapman enjoys every moment with her family. Watching her daughter grow up is a heavenly feeling for her. Kaylee loves to play with her mother’s wheelchair from the very beginning. And when her daughter walked for the first time, Kylee couldn’t hold back her tears.
