And while there might have been a couple of days delay, the pair couldn’t care less as they caressed their newborn in an adorable snap shared by Jake.

She’s here!! 🥳❤️👶🏻 Our amazing surrogate brought our daughter into the world at 5:30am Tuesday morning. We couldn’t be happier nor more grateful.🙏🏼@hannahw253 pic.twitter.com/GWDLZNVubq — Jake Graf (@JakeGraf1) April 16, 2020

“She’s here!” Jake wrote in the tender tweet, “our amazing surrogate brought our daughter into the world at 5.30am Tuesday morning.

“We couldn’t be happier nor more grateful.”

It’s the joyful end to a year-long journey for the couple, who have at every turn battled seething, anti-trans vitriol from opponents. Often screaming at Jake and Hannah for simply existing, falling in love and starting, at long last, a family together.

Family and friends of Hannah and Jake Graf have been ‘entirely supportive and loving’.

The British couple first discussed their intention to have a baby in 2018 before brimming with pride as they announced to the press that they used a surrogate for Jake who froze his eggs before his gender-affirmation surgery when he was 36.

Hannah, 32, formerly the highest-ranking trans officer in the British Army, left her position in 2018 to clock-into a finance job and prepare to help raise a child.

After announcing the surrogacy, Jake said he’d “always dreamed of having children”.
