Why we‘re doing it
Many women have dreamed of one day becoming a mother since playing with dolls and dollhouses. Only to find out their road to motherhood, is unbelievably harder than one might think. For women who have the means, some may experience the joy of motherhood, and even then it's no guarantee. COVID-19, had many isolated from their doctors, stressed by the Pandemic, frustrated by not knowing what's next and hopeless in general. Our virtual chats, will discuss these issues, plus share what some women have done to overcome the barriers, and finally become the mother's they've dreamed of.
