usband and I are hopeful that we will have our own biological child in the future. One day, I will get to sit across the table from one or two small children and watch them eat their corn on the cob just the way my husband does,” added Beverley, cancer survivor and Fertile Hope financial assistance recipient.

Prior to attempting pregnancy, Lindsay and Jordan worked closely with her oncology team to ensure her health and to determine an optimal time to start a family. Although they did not use the eggs she froze before chemotherapy, achieving pregnancy wasn't easy. After multiple miscarriages and the ups and downs of IVF treatments, the husband and wife team worked diligently to pursue a healthy pregnancy and achieve their dream of parenthood.

“This was definitely a collaborative effort by the team here at Cornell's Center for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility. We are thrilled that Lindsay and Jordan are now happy parents,” said the center's Director, Dr. Zev Rosenwaks.
