The positive side of fertility and multiple births

Our triplet boys completed our family!  Brian, Justin, Alex, Brendan and Jake.

My husband, Joe, and I recently joined Dr. Kiltz on WCNY as we filmed a segment on fertility.  Dr. Kiltz was asked to do this in response to the recent birth of octuplets.  There has been so much negative press regarding the mother’s decision to have these babies, the outrage of the people regarding the cost of these children in the NICU as well as in the future and ultimately an attack on the fertility process itself.  Joe and I were asked to join Dr. Kiltz as patients who have been through the fertility process, who could speak on the subject first hand.  Our situation is also slightly unique in that my cousin, Leigh, was our surrogate and carried our triplets for us.

Our goal in filming this was to reach out to the public to show a very positive side of fertility and to share with everyone our wonderful story of surrogacy and the life we now have with our three beautiful triplet boys.  The show was taped and completed and I do believe that Dr. Kiltz was able to get his messages out there and we were able to touch on a few aspects as well.  However, the truth is that there was not enough time to cover all that we had hoped to and we left feeling like there was so much left unsaid.   I believe that we were able to touch on our story a bit but want to take this opportunity to convey our story in more detail and to touch base on our opinions and feelings regarding our own experience as well as the recent situation with the octuplets.
