Mary and the team at Beginnings were so great to work with and very sympathetic to our situation. We would highly recommend Beginnings to any couple, like us, who might be out of steam to keep growing their family but may have frozen embryos remaining. What a great opportunity they facilitate to honour life and to help couples struggling with infertility.

After giving birth to our beautiful twin boys, it was not an option for us to destroy our remaining embryos. We were matched through Beginnings and were thrilled that the recipients became pregnant, and recently delivered a healthy baby boy. We wanted to help a couple with fertility struggles, because we know the struggle of infertility and the joy of successful treatments.

This is my daughter’s “pod family” and without Beginnings this could never have happened. Thank you! I’m so blessed with my daughter but I’m also blessed that she could have siblings and a relationship with them.
