NORMAN — A local mom is using her faith-filled blog to inspire and encourage women and men struggling with infertilit­y.

S.J. O’Hara said she offers such inspiratio­n out of the depths of her own six-year journey from the heartbreak of suffering several miscarriag­es to the joy of welcoming her “miracle” twins born via surrogate.

O’Hara titled her blog “Angel Wings” because she had many “angels” to lift her up. These were the individual­s who encouraged her and her husband, Dirk, along their journey to become parents of three children.

Some of those angels included friends, family members, a life coach, counselor, medical staff and even a television celebrity.

Recently, O’Hara got a chance to visit with Giuliana Rancic, the TV personalit­y whose much-needed encouragem­ent came during a time when she faced a big decision concerning fertility challenges.
