Co-owner Agency for Surrogacy & Egg Donor Solutions, Inc

I have personally gone through the infertility struggle myself.  I was fortunate enough to carry my first child (genetic) but then suffered 8 miscarriages and 6 1/2 years of IVF and various treatments before I finally turned to egg donor and surrogacy to complete my family. With the help of two amazing surrogates and two super egg donors, my family is now complete.  In addition to my 21 year old genetic daughter, I have a 15 year old daughter and 13 year old son (same egg donor and same surrogate) and a 7 year old son (different surrogate, different egg donor).  Don't ask... LOL, I think everything that could go wrong did for me, but in a way it was for the best.  It helped make me stronger and better equipped to help others travel down these roads.  Along with my business partner and best friend, Kathryn Kaycoff (mom to 16 year old identical twin boys via egg donor and surrogacy), we have helped create more than 1000 babies in the past 17 years.  I never would have imagined that this would become my life's work but now that it is, I can't imagine doing anything else.  This is my passion.
