More Couples Becoming Parents With IVF in Spain

After trying to get pregnant with no success, where can hopeful parents-to-be turn?

Infertility treatments are a good option for most couples with conception difficulties, with many options for every type of infertility condition.

But what happens when even those fail?

Infertility treatments aren't cheap; the heartbreak of not being able to get pregnant combined with the financial burden is often too much for couples to bear.

For some couples, infertility treatments abroad are the best option. Popular destinations like Spain offer patients the highest-quality treatment options, little waiting times, low prices, and above-average success rates.

Whether you're searching for in-vitro fertilization (IVF), male infertility treatments, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), or egg donation, Spain might be exactly the thing you need to build the family of your dreams.

Trusted Surrogacy Lawyer Shocks Infertility Community

On Tuesday, Theresa Erickson (pictured above), a well-known surrogacy lawyer in California, pleaded guilty to running an illegal baby-selling ring.

Erickson was a trusted and respected member of the infertility community, and these charges have greatly impacted her fans and supporters.

She pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud for transmitting fake documents to the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego and also falsifying information to the couples whose babies were born through surrogates she recruited.

The shocking scheme was based in San Diego, where Erickson would hire surrogate mothers to travel to infertility clinics in Ukraine to be implanted with embryos created with anonymous donor eggs and sperm.


Then she shopped the unborn babies around to hopeful couples looking to adopt...little did they know, they were involved in illegally "purchasing" their children.

Same-sex couples have been in the spotlight recently, and it's not just because June is LGBT month.

According to the results, 25% of gay couples are having children using the methods of adoption, egg donation, sperm donation and surrogacy.

These infertility treatments are not just for infertile couples anymore; same-sex couples use these procedures to have biological children, which is a basic human need of every person, regardless of sexual orientation.
