Nollywood actress, Ini Edo has welcomed a child via surrogacy.
The actress who welcomed a baby girl revealed that she got a surrogate to carry the child.
“I do have a daughter and I had her through surrogacy. The eggs are mine and so genetically she is my blood. I chose this path to fulfill my dreams of becoming a mother,” she said in an interview.
“I opted for a donor for me and my baby’s peace of mind,” she added when asked about the father of the child.
“Another major reason I opted for a donor is because it scares me so much when I see banter and controversies between a mother and a father over a baby in public forums or when I see the man insisting he wants his child if things don’t work out between both parties.
“For me it’s the fear of what that would mean for the child. Ideally, its marriage then children but we are not living in an ideal world.
“I am not someone who allows any situation to control me. I make lemonades out of lemons thrown my way and have no regrets. Life itself is so fragile and short to be striving for perfection.
“I am well and capable of taking care of my own child as I’ve been taking care of myself. I wanted a child and thank God for the options of surrogacy and donors.”
