For personal reasons, other patients like Stephanie and Rob request freezing surplus eggs instead of embryos. This helps avoid the difficult decision of disposing surplus embryos.

Fast forward to August 2010: The happy day has arrived as Stephanie and Rob introduce us to their precious baby daughter-Emilee Faith.

Dear Dr. Diaz,

Rob and I are so very grateful for everything that you did for us. We cannot express our gratitude enough! You and your wonderful, caring staff have become our extended family. Our dream of becoming parents finally came true on April 16, 2010, with the birth of our beautiful baby girl, Emilee Faith (all 10 pounds, 5 oz. and 22 inches of her!!) She is our miracle baby!

It feels like yesterday when Joan called us with the big news, letting us know that our third and final IVF attempt had worked!! What an amazing process and journey! We hope and pray our success story will inspire other couples whose dream of parenthood has not yet been realized.

Sincerely,

Stephanie and Rob
