Hope in India

We have been going through fertility treatment for the last four years without any success.    After this last treatment cycle our fertility specialist met with us to let us know that at this point our next option would be surrogacy or adoption. We were devastated as our hope seem to have diminished of having a child of our own. We thought of surrogacy in the US but it is quite expensive, and the laws are sometimes not protective of the biological parents. As we began to consider options of adoption, my wife came to me and asked if I have ever thought about surrogacy in India. I didn't know what to think about the whole idea as it seem to have caught me off guard. However, our options were limited and I was willing to explore anything. For the next few months we did our research and came across  SCI Healthcare but we were still a little uncertain. We wanted to meet other couples who have already gone through SCI.  So we found a couple who lived close to us. We were able to meet with them and they shared their whole experience with us and how they will be picking up their baby in a few months. After some research and meeting with the couple, we were certain we wanted to go to SCI in India. We contacted SCI to begin the process and they have been very professional from the very beginning. Here we are in India and my wife has her egg collection tomorrow. The anticipation is a little much but we are hopeful that this is going to work for us.
