This is the emotional moment a woman who suffered six miscarriages burst into tears after her best friend surrogate gave birth to her baby. Erin Boelhower, 33, endured nine IVF transfers and more than 600 injections over the course of three years trying to get pregnant with husband Matthew, 33. Sales rep Erin and Matthew, a corrections officer, were left devastated after suffering a string of miscarriages, but never lost hope that they would one day become parents. Their dream finally became a reality when Erin’s best friend Rachel Checolinski, 34, gave her the gift of a lifetime and offered to be her surrogate.
