Lauren Cross

Vogue Interview // The Infertility Diaries

Vogue’s fertility series tells the moving tales of five individuals as they face different challenges on the road to parenthood. Diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, Lauren learned she couldn’t sustain a pregnancy with her own eggs. After finding an egg donor, she is now the mother to a four-year-old daughter, and three-month-old twins. (As told to Emma Strenner)

I was interviewed for Vogue magazine about our journey to parenthood via egg donation.

Here’s my favourite bit:

I’ve always felt so positive about our choice, so it’s been easy to communicate that when explaining how my family came to be. You can hear a smile in someone’s voice, can’t you? If I stood in the corner, stammering out, “Unfortunately we had to use an egg donor,” that’s so different to me smiling and explaining, “We had this problem and we resolved it with this amazing woman who is a mother and stepped forward to help us.”
