Review Quotes
"A beautiful tribute to the love between parent and child and the journey many parents embark on to meet their babies." - Dr. Meivys Garcia, Reproductive Endocrinologist and Fertility Specialist.
"A reproductive tissue donor (egg, sperm or embryo) is an important partner in family building for hundreds of thousands of families. They say that DNA does not make a family- LOVE does. That resonates with many of us who have adopted aunties, uncles, cousins etc into their tribe, who have strained or non-existent relationships with "blood relatives", who have blended families of any kind. Biology is not destiny! "Who we are" is shaped by our environment, by our education and upbringing. Being a parent is NOT defined by genetics. I 'Dreamed of You' is a comforting ritual for anyone on a family building (through reproductive tissue donation or otherwise) journey."
