Congratulations to Vern Yip and Partner!

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

If you’ve ever watched Trading Spaces, the phenomenal program that aired on TLC several years ago, you were no doubt mesmerized by the abilities of Vern Yip.  And now he’s about to become a daddy… for the second time!

Yip and his partner worked with a surrogate to allow them to become parents again.  And (through their media reps) it appears that they couldn’t be happier!

Of course, you don’t have to be a Hollywood star or a household name to consider surrogacy; in fact, it’s becoming more and more acceptable in America as the facts (rather than myths) of fertility issues begin to filter into the mainstream.

If you’re considering surrogacy or would just like to know more about the process, feel free to visit RSI at our Philadelphia area office.  We’ll be happy to give you a consultation and help you determine if working with a surrogate is the best solution for you (and/or your partner.)

And, as we always say when we mention a “happy ending” for any person… we wish Yip and his family all the joys that parenthood can bring!

Fertility Issues after Giving Birth

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

tn_img_6027A recent article from the UK’s Birmingham Post did an excellent job of explaining why women who have been able to conceive naturally without fertility treatments may one day find themselves dealing with infertility.

In the story, the author discusses the experiences of Sarah Jessica Parker, the Hollywood star who recently  discovered that she was no longer able to become pregnant even though she had conceived without problems previously. 

The phenomenon, “secondary infertility,” can happen for a number of reasons including the age of the woman, a switch in partners and potential medical problems.  Regardless of the “whys”, it can still be a devastating experience for any couple who assumed they would be able to naturally conceive.

The upshot, though, is that there are alternatives for women who want to have children, including fertility treatments.  Although becoming pregnant may take a bit longer than expected, in many cases, it can still be a reality.
