Dynamic Do-Over: How Infertility Inspired a Mother and Daughter

Daughter Nicole founded a surrogacy agency after her struggle with infertility, while her mother Pam launched the Baby Quest Foundation to award grants for fertility treatments to those who can't afford it. After struggling for years with infertility, through IVF, miscarriages, fertility treatments, fertility meds, pregnancy fails, and more, Nicole Lawson was able to have her first child through a surrogate. She worked with surrogacy again for her second child, and was inspired to leave her entertainment career to open Abundant Beginnings Company, a surrogacy agency, with her business partner Julie Allgood. Meanwhile, Nicole's mother, Pamela Hirsch, after caring for her daughter through the struggle and realizing the fortune of having a fortune when you can pay for your child's IVF treatment and support, was inspired to found the Baby Quest Foundation, which awards grants to couples, single parents, military veterans with infertility and others who long to have a family, but don't have the funds. Join us for Bring Your Mother to Work Day at IVFU!


If you have questions about surrogacy, becoming a surrogate for a family in need, or finding a surrogate for your own family journey, find Nicole at Abundant Beginnings Company, https://abcsurrogacy.com.
