Sarah Jessica Parker Surrogate Gives Birth

Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick weighed in at 5 pounds 11 ounces, and Tabitha Hodge Broderick weighed 6 pounds. "The babies are doing beautifully and the entire family is over the moon," said publicist Simon Halls, in a statement released Tuesday. Halls also said that Hodge and Elwell are family names on Parker's side.
The girls were born at 3:58 p.m. at East Ohio Regional Hospital in Martins Ferry, Ohio. The woman who carried Parker's and Broderick's twins has not been named.
Last month, the "Sex In The City" star told "Access Hollywood" that the surrogate mother's telephone number and computer had been hacked, and that woman had been threatened. Now, authorities are investigating two Ohio police chiefs after accusations that the men broke into the surrogate's home in Martins Ferry. The cops were allegedly looking for photographs or other information to sell to tabloids.
Parker, 44, and Broderick, 47, confirmed in April that they had hired a surrogate in order to have more children. They have one son already, James Wilkie, who is 6 years old, but were unable to conceive any other babies. Surrogacy is when a woman is implanted with a fertilized egg from genetic parents. A surrogate mother is not a genetic relative of the child she carries and gives birth to.
Now we want to see some pictures, Sarah Jessica -- and when will the girls be getting their first pair of Manolos?

Surrogacy is NOT "when a woman is implanted with a fertilized egg from genetic parents". Fertilized eggs are not implanted, they are transferred. Big difference.
