The woman in this beautiful story with a happy ending is called Erica Gray, and at the age of 27 she received devastating news from her doctor; she had stage 3 cervical cancer that absolutely needed to be operated on; in the end, she Erica she had two options: she could choose the path of chemotherapy or radiotherapy or undergo a radical hysterectomy that would have left her infertile; she would not be able to have children in the future.

Gaining a lot of strength and courage, Erica chose to follow the path of surgery; despite it not being a walk in the park, she was successful and the woman recovered from her cervical cancer completely; but her desire to become a mother had never ceased ...

Speaking to the oncologist who had saved her life, Erica had expressed her desire to become a mother again, and so the doctor offered an alternative that the woman had absolutely not thought of: a hospital nurse named Kasia Birdwell was interested in being a surrogate mother for a woman who very much wanted but couldn't have children, so the two immediately got in touch.

Surprisingly, Erica and Kasia immediately got on very well and they decided by mutual agreement to follow this path together: the nurse would carry the fruit of Erica and her husband's love in her womb through a process of gestational surrogacy (the child who would have carried for nine months would be created from Erica's fertilized egg).

Luckily, Kasia's pregnancy went great and after nine months little Richard was born to everyone's joy. Despite the many hardships and difficulties she had to face in her young life, Erica Gray has finally become a loving and very affectionate mother: her dream has been realized thanks to the precious help of her oncologist doctor and Kasia the nurse, the perfect and kind surrogate.
