Support and success through surrogacy

A week before starting fertility treatments, my sister who was studying acupuncture at the time introduced me to her instructor, Stephanie. Although I was quite worried about the needles, I was both eager and desperate to start a protocol that held some promise of success. In a time that was full of medical intervention and drug therapies, it was nice to be doing something for my body that was natural… something that could only enhance what science was trying to achieve. Acupuncture became a treat I gave myself as I was able to refocus and relax during treatments.

The fertility journey is a difficult one emotionally, however the warm support, love and encouragement that I received weekly from Stephanie and Carolyn equaled that of the actual acupuncture treatment itself.

Today, five years later thanks to a large team of dedicated people and especially our surrogate family, we have a beautiful daughter. The old cliché, it takes a village to raise a child seems fitting and for that we are eternally grateful!
