Het zaad en de 11 eitjes

The Sperm and the 11 Eggs

But just as any heterosexual family, they want to have children of their own and have a ‘real’ family. Fortunately a niece offers to be the surrogate to carry their child, but not of her own ovum. The dads to be only need an egg and a clinic to achieve the fertilization. What follows is a harrowing account of the long road between hopes and disappointments.
