Family Stories
Allison and David
Our fertility journey began over six years ago, after trying to get pregnant on our own for over a year. We received the devastating news that David was sterile, and we would never be able to conceive on our own. We sat down and discussed our options, and decided that we wanted to pursue embryo adoption, to give the frozen embryos a chance. In our first embryo adoption, we suffered three miscarriages, and were absolutely devastated. With our second adoption, we suffered another miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy, which required surgery and an extensive recovery period for me. After I healed and was cleared to attempt pregnancy again, we transferred our last adopted embryo. We finally were blessed with a positive pregnancy test, and nine months later, a beautiful baby girl!

We are so thankful for this amazing opportunity to continue to grow our family!
