From Here To Maternity

A personal account of infertility IVF & adoption. After three years and a total of nine embryo transfers Glenn and I are hanging up our saddles ... For many three years might seem an insufficient effort but I am tired. My body is tired my mind is tired and most of all my heart is tired. I still believe that IVF is a modern medical miracle ... But I no longer believe it will be our miracle. What happens when the quest for a family seems to bring only tears and despair? As Kylie and her husband Glenn discovered you simply pick yourself up take a deep breath and carry on. As harsh as it seems the adoption process in Western Australia can only be described as excruciating: intrusive intense bureaucratic and judgemental. Kylies struggle to conquer the intricacies and inconsistencies of the adoption process push both her and Glenn to the limits of their endurance and just when all seems lost they are handed a lifeline that sees their hope of becoming parents flicker back to life. Is it bad news? No it is very good news ... we have a baby for you a little boy. Honest perceptive and deeply personal From Here to Maternity is a warm and ultimately joyful story about one couples determination to overcome infertility and bureaucracy and become a family against all the odds.
