Bold and Beautiful: Daphne & Carter’s Miracle Baby News – Their Dream Family Finally Begins

Bold and the Beautiful has poor Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) absolutely devastated over the news of Daphne’s infertility that’s caused by early menopause. However, I suspect Carter and Daphne are still going to get the family that they want.

It’s just that the road isn’t going to be quite so easy for them. We’re going to talk about how Carter and Daphne will get their miracle baby that completes their lives and makes all their dreams come true.

Bold and the Beautiful: Daphne’s Heartbreaking Diagnosis

So, this week we saw Dr. Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) break Daphne’s heart. That stunning early menopause diagnosis hit her so hard. Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was there with her bestie and consoled her, but that didn’t change the dire outlook as Daphne saw her baby dreams crushed. And when Carter asked Daphne how the appointment went, he immediately could tell that something was wrong.

And then she had to break Carter’s heart with this terrible news. So, Daphne was in tears and then Carter was sobbing. It was really hard to watch, especially if you’ve gone through infertility. I’ve been there. I know some of you all have. But one thing is clear, Daphne and Carter are in this together and are very supportive of each other. They’re just shell shocked right now.

Daphne & Carter Won’t Give Up on B&B

But very soon, I feel like Carter and Daphne are going to explore how to start their family, even with the odds stacked against them. So, I expect a baby miracle coming for them pretty soon. Not right away, but pretty soon. One option that seems definitely on the table is Steffy may offer Daphne one or two or three of her frozen eggs. And with that and Carter’s sperm, they could have a baby that’s at least half theirs biologically.

And even with premature menopause, Daphne could still carry that baby. So with Steffy’s egg, they could do IVF and implant the embryo into Daphne. So they could still have the whole pregnancy experience together. She and Carter could feel their baby growing inside Daphne, and Carter could be right there with her through all the doctor visits, the labor, and Daphne could give birth to their child. That is a very viable option.

And when Steffy first mentioned to Daphne that she’d frozen some of her eggs, she kind of snapped at Steffy, “That’s great for you, but they’re not my eggs.” Daphne wants a biological kid. But I don’t think Steffy would bring it up for no reason when I don’t remember it ever being mentioned before on B&B. Maybe I’ve forgotten, but I don’t remember a whole egg freezing thing.

Bold and Beautiful: Surrogacy and Adoption Options for Daphne and Carter

Another option to get Carter and Daphne’s baby dream going is that they can opt to find a surrogate. Maybe even one that would offer a donor egg. Somebody like Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock). I think she would be a good option for Daphne and Carter. I mean, we all know Dylan’s a sweetheart. Plus, she’s young. She’s healthy. That all matters and she is broke as heck and that kind of thing pays very well and Carter and Daphne can definitely afford to hire a surrogate and they might want to use somebody close to them like Dylan.

That way Carter and Daphne could be very involved with the pregnancy. They could go to the doctor appointments, all of that. It’d be the next best thing if for some reason Daphne can’t carry the child herself or doesn’t want to. Dylan enjoyed being an art teacher. We know she likes kids and I think she’d be very sympathetic to what they’re going through and they could use Carter’s sperm and either Dylan’s egg or an egg from Steffy or an anonymous donor egg. You know, Carter and Daphne might prefer an African-American egg donor.

Electra is a Possibility on B&B but a Real Long Shot

Another option, which seems like an impossible long shot, is to use another surrogate, somebody else they know, Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace). She is young, she’s healthy, and she’s close to them. However, I do not see Will Spencer‘s (Crew Morrow) ex as the self-sacrificing type. Electra is honestly a baby herself most days. And with the way she’s running around creating drama, imagine if Daphne and Carter trusted Electra with their family’s future and all they got from her was non-stop whine pout baby mama drama.

Plus, with the Spencer versus Forrester storyline and Will versus R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti), I kind of doubt that they would push Electra into Carter and Daphne’s storyline. Being a part of all that would just be too much. Also, Electra is honestly so selfish. I don’t think she thinks about anybody but herself. That’s what we’re seeing with Will. So, I don’t think she would be generous enough to step up and do something so kind for Daphne and Carter.

Bold and the Beautiful: Daphne & Carter May Go a Different Route

However, they could also decide to avoid involving anybody they know if they went the surrogate route. Daphne and Carter might hire a surrogate that they don’t know, go through an agency, you know, use his sperm, use the surrogate’s egg or a donor egg, and just realize they’re going to have to settle for not being as involved as they want until their baby is born. Another option to get Carter and Daphne the child they want is for them to adopt.

I mean, come on. There’s so many children in the United States, around the world, who need a good home, and a child would be lucky to be adopted by Carter and Daphne. And in fact, Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) might encourage them to consider going this route. If you remember his backstory, his parents died of AIDS. I think they were Somalian, maybe. It’s been a minute. And Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) daughter, Kristen Forrester, met young orphan Zende when she was on her honeymoon.

And then she and her husband Tony came back to adopt him. Plus, Steffy has also adopted a baby. Now, unfortunately, that was Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) and Hope Logan’s (Annika Noelle) stolen baby Beth Spencer (Jordan Ariza), and she had to give the kid back. But there’s adoption history in the Forrester family on Bold and the Beautiful.

And I’m sure that Daphne and Carter could easily be approved for an adoption. That way, they could, you know, show that they provide a loving home, that they’re financially stable. That’s all important stuff. And I think Daphne and Carter will give any child a wonderful life and they could even adopt more than one child because they want a big family.

Bold and Beautiful: Daphne & Carter May Get a True Miracle

So, Daphne’s family dreams could come true that way. However, because she wants to have a biological child with Carter, IVF and surrogacy, you know, one of those two seem a lot more likely, but there’s always another option for them to have a baby. The last thing I want to talk about is that Daphne and Carter might get a true miracle baby. I’m sure they’re still going to keep making love.

So, there’s a chance Daphne could get pregnant naturally. There’s actually a 5 to 12 percent chance with this diagnosis of a spontaneous pregnancy even with this early menopause. So, while Daphne and Carter are considering what other options are available to them, you know, Daphne could turn up pregnant out of the blue.

Daphne May Still Get Her Wish on Bold

Also, with this condition she has, the women often have what’s called intermittent ovarian activity. Basically, Daphne’s ovaries might wake up and work now and then. They just don’t work consistently and without the stress of actively trying to get pregnant with Carter’s child and going through the monthly disappointment.

That could really help if you’ve not been through it. Infertility is extremely stressful. And if Daphne thinks, okay, I can’t make a baby that way. I think that stress might be alleviated. And you know, because taking a pregnancy test every month and then being devastated when it comes up negative over and over, that’s horrible.

And studies show that stress reduction improves fertility with this condition. So, I do hope Carter and Daphne can get their own biological child even if it’s just a one-off and they only get one baby that way. You know, one miracle baby might be enough for Carter and Daphne.

Or they could get a miracle baby for kid number one and then turn to other options like IVF or surrogacy or adoption to expand their family from there. What I really hope is that this incredibly touching storyline doesn’t get shoved aside for more of the Forresters and Spencers don’t mix junk that we’ve got right now.
