At 26 years old, Carrie Giddens was on life support awaiting a double lung transplant. Her twin boys, who were born via IVF and surrogacy, were 15 months old at the time. After weeks of uncertainty, that November, she received a life-saving transplant. When we met her for the first time in 2016, she was four years post-transplant.
A lot has changed for the Giddens family in the past 7 years. In 2017, they added a daughter to their family through adoption. In addition, in 2022 Carrie celebrated her 10-year transplant anniversary.
