A woman who beat cancer and was given the chance at motherhood thanks to the help of a surrogate has shared the beautiful moment her son reunited with the woman who carried him. Sarrah Strimel Bentley found a walnut-shaped lump under one of her armpits in August 2020, which led to her being diagnosed with early breast cancer. The diagnosis shocked Sarrah, 42, a former Broadway performer, and led to her starting treatment for the high-risk disease. During this time, Sarrah and her husband, James, discussed the possibility of starting a family. With the advice of her care team, the 42-year-old underwent two rounds of in vitro fertilization. The treatment resulted in a single embryo, so Sarrah and James decided to pursue surrogacy. Working with an agency, the couple matched with a woman named Whitney, who opted to become their child's surrogate. Sarrah, who dubbed Whitney her "angel," spent time with Whitney before welcoming her son, Chance, into the world in December 2023. After the birth, Whitney returned home to Richmond, Virginia, while Sarrah and James began raising Chance in their Brooklyn, New York, home. The families stayed in touch, and in the summer of 2024, Sarrah decided to travel to Virginia so that Chance could be dedicated at Whitney's church, alongside the baptism of Whitney's own two children. On June 1, at Buzz and Ned's BBQ, Whitney was reunited with Chance, who she has lovingly called her "womb mate." The emotional moment was captured on video, and when Whitney's own children asked if Chance was their brother, both moms gave an affirmative "Yes."

I love how the 2 moms dressed alike and the surrogate placed her hand on the bio momβs tummy! Thatβs love π

To do that for another woman. What a precious gift! β€

Women who are surrogates are some of the strongest women on this planet. Even though the baby isn't theirs, the body doesn't know that. The surrogate has to fight all the "motherly instinct" hormones that flow freely during and after giving birth. Strong AF, true angels.
-
The mother seems like such a fun person to be around. As does the surrogate!
-
This is why I don't understand people who are against surrogacy. It's a beautiful, compassionate thing to do for another woman
-
I am so glad they kept in touch, That will be very special to their baby.

Baby Chance, surely gave Sarah the will power to live and not be defeated! So, many are defeated mentally before the chemo even starts π’

This woman deserves to be a mom. What joy she exhibits at the opportunity. Thank goodness all turned out well for everyone.
