Cancer... Betsey Pourvakil was a newlywed when she heard that word. The first thing she had to do was live, but her surgeon thought ahead. While some doctors may have performed a complete hysterectomy, Betsey's doctor managed to save her ovaries in case she wanted to have children some day. Years later, he was right. She had the eggs but needed a surrogate mother. She and her husband considered hiring a stranger but found a perfect candidate much closer to home. Her sister, the same sister doctors had diagnosed for years as "unable to conceive", had just become pregnant herself. She immediately volunteered to serve as a surrogate after delivering her own child! She had one egg retrieved and one embryo transferred. Thanks to her forward-thinking physicians and the love between two sisters, baby Javan came into this world with his entire family awaiting his arrival!
