Rosanna Davison

The pair have a close bond after Ukrainian surrogate Anastasiia Berezan gave birth to Sophia in 2019.

"I helped them some time ago and now they are helping me. What she did for us and our family, she gave us the greatest gift you can give someone and now we have to help her.” Nastia was great; she must have just been exhausted at this point.” "The first week was very scary, there were a lot of explosions. It wasn’t until mid-April that they managed to catch a flight to Dublin. "If they didn’t have Layla it would have been quite straightforward to get them onto a plane and to Dublin but it was the logistics of trying to get a husky onto a plane,” Rosanna said. I felt sick with worry for her,” she said. "When I was in Poland Rosanna said to me ‘you are welcome to Ireland, we are waiting for you here’, but we didn’t really understand how to get from Poland to Ireland plus we had a dog so the situation was complicated.” "We decided to go to Katya’s grandmother's place because she has a basement so we took some food and things and Milana, Katya, Layla and I spent the first week in her basement. “It was a quick labour and birth and I remember afterward Sophia was taken to be weighed and cleaned, and I just turned to Nastia and cried ‘thank you, thank you, thank you’. "Wes and I turned to each other and said we have to help Nastia. “I remember bursting into tears and thinking this is the best news ever, it was the first day of the year and I felt so reassured because she had been so kind the whole way through,” she said.
