I am Chinese and was born and raised in China to a family that worshiped Buddha and other gods. This was not always my approach to life, however. I felt completely hopeless when our egg donor bailed at the last minute.īeing a Christian, the only thing I knew to do was turn to God. In desperation, we tried an egg donor too. Our doctor assured us that the only way to have a baby was through an egg donor. I hit my lowest point when our doctor announced we would never be able to have a baby through natural means. When we tried Chinese herbal remedies, they too were fruitless. Top medical professionals were treating us, but all their attempts failed. From 2010 to 2014, we attempted in vitro fertilization (IVF) five times. We realized something was wrong when we were not getting pregnant without prevention. We wanted a child, but we simply could not have one. In 2015, however, we also approached 10 years of barrenness. In 2006, my wife and I married and like many other Chinese couples, we had every intention of building a family. By 2015, I had been in the United States for 13 years and a Christian for the same amount of time.
