Joan Lunden Discusses Surrogate Birth

The surrogate mother who carried twins for former "Good Morning America" host Joan Lunden and her husband kept the couple informed of every detail of the pregnancy, Lunden said.

Lunden and her husband, businessman Jeff Konigsberg, visited Cincinnati for doctors' appointments and kept in close contact with Deborah Bolig and her family throughout the pregnancy.

"I really don't know how we could ever thank her and her family enough," the 52-year-old said. "We truly hope that they will always remain a part of our lives."

Bolig delivered the boy and girl Tuesday at Good Samaritan Hospital. Kate Elizabeth Konigsberg weighed 5 pounds, 14 ounces, and Max Aaron Konigsberg weighed 6 pounds, 11 ounces.

Lunden, now host of "Behind Closed Doors" on the A&E network, and her husband met Bolig last fall through the Los Angeles-based Center for Surrogate Parenting. They'd failed to conceive through in-vitro fertilization.

Lunden has three daughters _ Jamie, 22, Lindsay, 20, and Sarah, 15 _ from a previous marriage. The twins are Konigsberg's first children.
