YouTube content creator Rachel Griffin Accurso, widely known as Miss Rachel from the popular children's channel Songs for Littles, has announced the arrival of her second child—a baby girl named Susannah.
In an Instagram post shared on April 8, Miss Rachel revealed that her daughter was born through surrogacy.
"We welcomed sweet baby Susannah into the world! We are so in love," she wrote in the caption. "Sometimes timing isn't what you plan and the road to get there is bumpier than you expect, but when you hold your little ones you know… I'm meant to be your mama."

Miss Rachel welcomes baby girl born through surrogacy
At 42, Miss Rachel shared that she was unable to carry the pregnancy due to medical reasons and expressed gratitude for the surrogate who helped make their family's dream come true.
"We are now family forever. We have immense gratitude and a deep bond. It's been a truly beautiful experience. I'm in awe of her," she wrote.
She also thanked her husband, composer and music director Aron Accurso, for being what she described as the "best husband and dada."
The couple also has a son, Thomas, born in 2018. Thomas, who experienced speech delays in early childhood, inspired the couple to create Songs for Littles in 2019, an educational music-based channel aimed at helping toddlers and preschoolers develop language and social-emotional skills. The channel has since grown to more than 14 million subscribers.
Last September, Miss Rachel revealed that Thomas was born following a miscarriage, calling him her "rainbow baby" in a song she shared with her audience.
Following baby Susannah's birth announcement, Miss Rachel's followers flooded the comments with well-wishes for the family, saying baby Susannah is already so loved. Many also expressed excitement over the possibility of future content geared toward infants.
Congratulations, Miss Rachel! Welcome to the world, Baby Susannah—you have an amazing mom!
