Kaavia was born in November 2018 and Gabrielle heaped praise upon the woman who carried her. Discussing the process in an interview with 'Shondaland', she said: "For others, if you have a same-race surrogate, there's a fear of someone running off with your baby. People have all kinds of fears and things that they want. Some want the surrogate to follow a specific religion; or to allow TV, or no TV; or they send audio files for the surrogate to play your voice so it can be heard along with the household voices.
"For us, we wanted: She has her own kids, a husband, she's done this before, she knew what she was doing. There was no need for us to micromanage."
The pair formed a bond immediately and bonded over their mutual love of reading, with the surrogate even being a fan of Gabrielle's book of essays titled 'We're Going To Need More Wine'.
The star added that she was taken aback by the support she received from the surrogate community throughout the pregnancy: "A lot of Hollywood people will make an announcement, like, 'Our baby arrived via gestational carrier,' but very few are transparent about the whole process. There's a fertility grassroots underground community: Once you put it out there within your social circle, they'll find you.
"That's how you get your information: doctors, acupuncturists, different therapies. Once this group of people takes you into their arms, you're like, 'Oh, okay! There's so many of you!'"
