Today, on the season finale of Hope Works, we’re wrapping up the season by introducing you to two of the proudest parents we know, Ashley and Dave. When we first met Ashley and Dave, they’d already been through some of the toughest days of their lives. They’d hit mountain after mountain on their journey to becoming parents, and it never seemed to get easier. They tried doctor after doctor. They flew from state to state meeting new fertility teams, trying new treatments. It was terribly hard, but they never lost hope. They’re now the incredible parents of a beautiful boy. With all that they went through, how did they stay hopeful? And what was it like to finally welcome their son into the world? Press play and let them tell you!
On a brand new episode of Hope Works, we are so excited to introduce you to Margaret and Eric, a New York couple who reflect on their surrogacy journey a decade after their son was born. Before Margaret met Eric, she’d already been through a difficult fertility journey, facing obstacles that threatened her dreams of becoming a mother. After they married, they weren’t sure how they’d bring a baby into the world. But they knew they had to try. Their surrogacy journey surprised them, humbled them and brought them more love than they could have imagined. Their son is now 9 years old, and in this episode they look back at the journey, at everything that happened and how it changed their lives. Press play now to hear Margaret and Eric share their story!
Remember last season's episode with Chelsie, a surrogate in Wisconsin? Today, on a brand new episode of Hope Works, we are thrilled to introduce you to Michal, one of the dads who Chelsie helped to become a father.
"Laura was in tears, and our surrogate was in tears. Seeing both of them as mothers and seeing him, that was very special to me. Not only that Briggs was here, but our surrogate was able to help us... And how willing she was to help us."
"I'll never forget that feeling, that rush..."
