I spent eight years battling infertility and repeat pregnancy loss. I went through seven IVF cycles, a few bouts of OHSS, a few surgeries and five miscarriages. Right before I was ready to lose all hope, I turned to surrogacy even though it seemed impossible. We were able to do it on our own and with lots of patience and by the grace of God, I finally became a mom, thanks to my angel surrogate. I love staying involved with infertility and surrogacy advocacy work and volunteered with RESOLVE for many years in different capacities. I live in Virginia with my husband, Erick, twin children and two dogs.
