It is always wonderful to hear of a couple who has had a great surrogacy experience and has successfully welcomed their child into the world. Though we were not their Agency, we are very happy to congratulate Bill and Giuliana Rancic, who are now proud parents through Gestational Surrogacy. We hope their example will inspire others to not give up and to eventually welcome their dream baby through Surrogacy!

He’s here!
Bill and Giuliana Rancic welcomed their first child, son Edward Duke Rancic, on Wednesday, Aug. 29 in Denver, the couple announced via Twitter Thursday morning.
“The ‘Duke’ has landed! Edward Duke Rancic was welcomed into the world last night at 7 lbs., 4 oz.,” the Apprentice winner writes. “G & I feel blessed beyond words…We did it!”
Born at 10:12 p.m. with the parents in the delivery room, the baby’s cord was cut by Bill and he was first held by Giuliana, the couple tell E! News.
After struggles with infertility, miscarriage and a breast cancer battle for E! news anchor and Fashion Police co-host Giuliana, 37, the couple announced that they were expecting a baby via gestational surrogate.
In June, the Rancics shared that they’d be welcoming a boy whom they planned to give a traditional name.
“Our journey has a happy ending,” Bill, 41, tells PEOPLE. “We didn’t give up, we didn’t quit and we’re going to have a good ending to this.”
