My Story - How it all started

Looking back at my past, there is a particular moment that stands out in my life. It happened during the peak of my career, after eight years of marriage, when my wife experienced her second ectopic pregnancy, resulting in the loss of her second fallopian tube. This unfortunate event meant that if we wanted to have children, we would have to consider in-vitro fertilization. In 2000, we made the decision to undergo the IVF process at the renowned Rabin Medical Center IVF unit in Israel, which was highly regarded at that time. After going through multiple cycles and numerous embryos, we were finally blessed with the incredible news of a twin pregnancy. When I reflect on those times, I remember being fully occupied as the business development director of a high-tech company. My days were consumed with constant travel, hopping on and off planes to meet potential clients and attend expos all over the world. Regrettably, I must admit that I wasn’t able to provide much support to my wife during that period. I was completely unaware of the emotional and physical challenges she was going through. However, it took me years to truly understand that no woman can simply suppress her emotions or control her mind to stop worrying. It’s an impossible task. As a simple exercise, try telling yourself not to think about an elephant, and you’ll see what I mean.

Time Capsule

In November 1962, I entered the world at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami, Florida. My birth mother, who was only 19 and facing an unplanned pregnancy, made the incredibly selfless choice to give me up for adoption. My adoptive parents, who already had a daughter, were hoping for a son, and that's where I came in.

When it comes to the similarities between babies born from egg donors and adopted children, there isn't much information available online. While there is plenty of discussion about parental emotions and the impact of epigenetics, I’ve decided to form my own conclusions on the matter. People often ask me about my personal experience of discovering I was adopted, how my parents told me the news, and when it all happened.

Value & Benefit

In 2012, I discovered that I possessed the practical experience required to support and manage an egg donation program that prioritizes your needs, as well as the medical and emotional aspects. It can be quite difficult to find someone reliable who truly understands  your situation and the egg donation process, and can guide you throughout the program process. While clinic coordinators and agency employees have fixed working hours, I am committed to assisting my patients every single day of the week, putting in long hours because I genuinely love what I do.

For the majority of the past twelve years, I have had the privilege of working alongside renowned fertility professors who have decades of experience specifically in egg donation. Additionally, I have taken the initiative to learn extensively about the reproductive system and embryology, some of my closest friends are actually embryologists themselves. With twelve years of experience in working with women and third-party reproductive technologies, I possess all the knowledge necessary to advocate for the women who place their trust in me.

When it came to choosing a clinic to call home, I carefully selected the most established and reputable one in Kyiv. Our clinic is owned and operated by a highly respected family of doctors. Professor Dahkno, who established the clinic over 27 years ago, was actually a pioneer in the field. There are many more details that I would be happy to share, so why not reach out to me for a friendly chat? I believe it’s  best for you to decide for yourself.
