Who does a woman turn to when, more than anything in the world, she
wants to have a child, but her body refuses to cooperate?
Sometimes, all you need is a miracle. In 1998, when
thirty-seven-year-old Sandra Watson Rapley and her husband Craig
married, both decided that they wanted children right away. Sandra
expected some difficulty trying to conceive because of uterine
fibroids she had removed years ago. However, she was not prepared
for the turbulent - and often times disappointing - road she would
have to travel to make her dream a reality. After many failed
attempts at drug therapy, ovulation calculation, and in-vitro
fertilization, the Rapleys finally learned the devastating truth -
fibroids inside Sandra's uterus were preventing a successful
pregnancy. Following months of discussion, testing, and counseling,
the miracle that the Rapleys were praying for arrived in the form
of a surrogate. Their sister-in-law, Victoria, selflessly
volunteered to be their embryo's oven, and on August 29, 2001,
Victoria gave birth to the Rapleys twin sons. Sandra Watson
Rapley's struggle with infertility, through the emotional highs and
lows and the exciting time when her dream of having a child is
finally fulfilled.
