Popular YouTube educator Ms. Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, has welcomed her second child, a baby girl named Susannah, via surrogate.

The beloved children’s content creator shared the joyful news on Instagram on April 8, 2025, expressing love and gratitude for the journey.

“We were blessed to have a surrogate who gave us the most precious gift possible,” Accurso wrote. “We are now all family forever.” She also posted a tender photo of herself cuddling her newborn daughter.

Accurso explained that due to medical reasons, she was unable to carry the pregnancy. Despite the challenges, she emphasized the deep bond formed with their surrogate and described the experience as “truly beautiful.”

She and her husband, Aron Accurso, are also parents to 7-year-old Thomas, whom they welcomed after a miscarriage. Last year, Rachel called Thomas her “rainbow baby,” a term for a child born after pregnancy loss.

Known for her widely loved educational YouTube channel aimed at babies and toddlers, Ms. Rachel has gained a devoted following for her songs and language-building content. The channel was originally created by Rachel and Aron to support their son’s speech delay.

Rachel has been on hiatus from YouTube since January 2025, citing family matters. In her recent post, she also expressed appreciation for her husband: “Aron — Thank you for being the best husband and dada!”

Fans of Ms. Rachel continue to celebrate this new chapter in her family’s journey.
