Kaavia James Union Wade was born through surrogacy

She described the problem saying she can get pregnant but could not hold the baby. The actress had a problem which is called adenomyosis. This was the reason for the multiple miscarriages she went through in the past.
At the time of her birth, Gabrielle stated:
“We just decided as a family that the best and safest route, and most successful route was a gestational carrier. For us, it was our embryo so our surrogate has no genetic tie to our baby.”
Her father, the former basketball player also described why they opted for surrogacy. He explained people sometimes think celebrities go through surrogacy because they are too lazy or don’t want to mess up their bodies. The former player mentioned for them it was a different scenario.
“But for us, it got to the point where it was dangerous. It was like, I married you, I choose you first. There’s no us, without you. And that was the reason why we looked into the next best option which was to bring our joy into the world.”
Mother-daughter bond time
Kaavia also spends quality time with her mom. The actress once shared a picture of her and her daughter Kaavia reading her bedtime stories. It was more special as she was reading her own stories from the book It’s Fancy To Be Kaavia James.
Gabrielle is always vocal about motherhood after welcoming her daughter. She also discussed the parenthood journey in the interview. At the time, the mother of one stated:
“Kaavia really is the personification of hope for a lot of people like us, who maybe didn’t have a lot to be hopeful about. She represents that maybe there is a light at the end. And when you take people on the low points of your journey, it’s cool to let them be part of the joy. Plus, she’s really cute. And has an uncanny ability for making steely eye contact!”
Gabrielle and Dwyane Wade are parents to four kids which includes three children of the basketball player from his previous relationship.
