Shirley Akin replied to the topic Need Advice in the forum Foster Care to Adoption 6 years, 8 months ago
Hey Noreen! How are you? The choice between surrogacy and adoption is a big question. She needs to consider her priorities. Through surrogacy, you have a chance at having a baby genetically related to you. But in adoption, there is no such thing. I can tell you what I’ll do if I was in the same position as her. If the baby can be 100% related to…[Read more]

Shirley Akin started the topic Worried about my newborn in the forum Newborn 6 years, 8 months ago
Hey everyone? How are you all doing? Hope everyone is doing well. I am little curious about the behavior of my baby. She is so loving and caring. But when she is not with me, I don’t think she misses me. I mean when she is with her father she never talks about me. Is it normal? Am I worrying for no real reason?
TIA. -

I know all this because I visited a clinic for IVF. I had a great experience. There is got to…[Read more] -
Shirley Akin replied to the topic Tips on how to choose in the forum Baby Gear 6 years, 8 months ago
Hey there! Hmm nicely summarized. I have a 7 month old daughter. I usually make a list with the order of products in which they are displayed in stores. So I start at one end and finish at the other. She is cecoming difficult to go shopping with as she is growing. You know she cries and doesn’t like shopping at all. Well not at this age 😉 .

Shirley Akin replied to the topic Poor ovarian reserve and TTC in the forum Getting Started 6 years, 8 months ago
Hey there! You came to the right place. Yeah there are many ways for assisted conception these days. But very expensive in America. You would probably be suggested to go for IVF, or surrogacy. Keeping in mind your condition that is. Ukraine is the best option for both of them. I had my ivf there. Had success in the first cycle. Yaayyyy…
So I…[Read more] -
Shirley Akin replied to the topic the age long debate in the forum Getting Started 6 years, 8 months ago
I would see what my husband and I want the most. A child. Or a genetically related child. Now if we want a related child, I’ll see if that is possible for both. I mean both can be related to the child. For me, it’ll be weird if only one of us is related. So in that case, I might opt for adoption. There are a lot of things to consider while…[Read more]

Shirley Akin replied to the topic Surrogacy in the forum Baby On The Way 6 years, 8 months ago
What is the clinic you are consulting? I know a clinic that provides complete data of the surrogate. Gets a complete history from them. And also a great many number of tests. Surrogacy is a great option indeed. But the choice of a clinic matters the most. Get in touch if you need any help.

Shirley Akin replied to the topic How can I select egg donors? in the forum Egg Donation 6 years, 8 months ago
So right. I agree with every word of it. You know I always wondered what egg donors and sperm donors feel like while donating. I mean they know there is gonna be a baby with their genes. Their is gonna be a baby biologically related to them. I know most do it for money. But still it must be emotionally hard. Don’t you think? I mean if I had to…[Read more]
