Many couples struggle with the challenges of infertility. The story of Kathy and Rob Adzich is not one of them. Theirs is the unique story of a loving couple who wanted nothing more than to start a family. After going through agonizing cycles of elation and grief, they were stymied and defeated, but not for long.

In loss, often comes giving. Such was the case with Kathy and Rob Adzich of Cupertino, Calif., who 11 years ago were newlyweds trying to start a family. When they lost three babies in three years, a nurse loaned her womb to help give them three more.

"It’s just so hard to comprehend what someone would do for a complete stranger and it’s just a complete labor of love," Rob says.

The Adziches and the nurse, Stephanie Kalenda, recounted their story of grief and elation in a "Today" show segment that aired on Thursday.

About 22 weeks into her first pregnancy with Rob, Kathy went into premature labor and a stillbirth resulted.

Just two months later, Kathy was pregnant again. An ultrasound at 16 weeks showed nothing amiss. But shortly after, she went into premature labor again, and once more delivered a stillborn son.

"I just said, 'What is wrong with me, what is wrong with my body? Why is it so broken that it just doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do?'" Kathy recounted.
