We are new parents, so Camilla's arrival is still fresh in our minds. A moment that made me incredibly proud was when my wife Tracy brought the baby to my chest after birth and said, "This is Camilla. It's a girl." She was crying, I started crying and Camilla was too. This was a moment we'd dreamed of for six years while we tried to expand our family of two to three. We were trying via adoption, at home insemination and assisted reproductive technology. It was a long journey and we were so proud to feel our daughter in our arms. -Michele Cadwallader
