Former ‘American Idol’ judge Kara DioGuardi has announced that within a few short weeks she will become a first time mom.
Kara and husband Mike McCuddy are anxiously awaiting the birth of Greyson James Carroll McCuddy, who will be born via gestational surrogate.
The couple wed in 2009 and have struggled to have a child naturally. After multiple failed IVF procedures they researched adoption and surrogacy and opted for the second option.
Speaking with PEOPLE, Kara said, “We made a personal decision to try with a surrogate. I asked someone we knew, a friend. And on the first try, it worked.”
“We’re praying for our surrogate, that she gets through this and that it’s as easy on her as it can possibly be, because she’s been a gem throughout the whole process.”
“I’ve got two people on my mind: her and the baby. She’s given us this incredible gift.”
