May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

After years of infertility, Deidre Hall spent two years doing in vitro fertilization in the hopes of getting pregnant, but did not have success. Eventually, as she shared on a 2020 episode of "The Freddie & Alyssa Show," her doctor said she had to call it quits on the process. Then, a conversation she overheard at her doctor's office changed everything. Apparently two friends were talking about the upcoming birth where one friend was having the baby for the other friend. "It just spoke to me of an ultimate gift," Hall said.

After entering a surrogate program and finding a match, Hall and then-husband Steven Sohmer were on their way to parenthood. In 1992, Hall's first son, David Sohmer, was born. Amazingly, as Hall shared in that 2020 interview, it was her surrogate who reached out a couple years later to say she was getting married and if the couple wanted another baby, it was the time. So, in 1995 she gave birth to Hall's second son, Tully Sohmer. "I have two spectacular children and that's thanks to a woman who was so generous to give her body to another woman," she said on "The Freddie & Alyssa Show," getting emotional.

Of becoming a mom, Hall said to Closer Weekly, "In the moment that baby is placed in your arms, it doesn't matter how they got there. ... When a life comes into this world, the air in the room changes."
