Our IVF Home and our Surrogate Angel

We searched and searched and found an IVF clinic and Hospital in Panama that was affiliated with John Hopkins. It was the nicest Hospital we'd ever been too. It had been built to service the tens of thousands of American Ex-Pats in the country. Our OB was a talented Panamanian Born ,Standford educated physician would and was very excited to help us with our journey. Best of all though.....was the impact for our surrogate. Her life would change forever by the investment she was making with us. The experience would change her life and for the better. Our surrogate was going to use the money to buy a house for her and family. A single mom, she was in school to be a nurse technician, and this experience would literally change her life.

The new buzz word in surrogacy is "Gestational Surrogacy" (more on this later). Again, this means the woman carrying the child(s) is not the egg donor, so there is not genetic connection with the mother. From an emotional and legal standpoint, this was the best option for us.

We were ready to start our adventure. We had everything lined up....or so we thought we did.....
