In this VIP exclusive, Rosanna Davison officially introduces baby Sophia to the world.
Last November, the model and qualified nutritionist welcomed her first child to the world via surrogacy with husband Wes Quirke after years of heartbreak.
The couple first began trying for a baby in 2015, but sadly Rosanna endured multiple miscarriages – 14 to be exact.
“People just assume I have this perfect life,” she told us. “I’ve so much compassion and empathy for people going through fertility issues because it does take its toll, physically and emotionally.”
A number of years later, the pair decided to go down the surrogacy route – something which didn’t come without worry for Rosanna.
“I played with the idea for weeks and I was horrified at the thought. The idea of someone else carrying my child thousands of miles away… It was a terrifying idea,” she said.
Rosanna continued, “I’ll never be able to thank our surrogate enough. Never ever. Sophia’s ours now, and we’re a family. But we’ll never forget what it took to have her.
“Every single day I look at her and go, wow. I cannot believe that someone else gave birth to her, but that she is ours. We are just so lucky that it worked, and first time around.”
Pick up the brand new issue of VIP Magazine, on shelves tomorrow, to read more about Rosanna and Wes’ journey and their plans for the future.
