Cyprus - Isle of Love - Seeds of Happiness ...

Good luck to Libby and Keith as they embark on raising a family from the Seat of Creation ... Cyprus! 8)

One couple's fight for a family

Next month he and his 39-year-old wife, a driving instructor, will travel to Cyprus for IVF treatment using donor sperm and donor eggs.

He said: "Donor treatment in this country was not an option for us given the excessive waiting lists, and the success rates are higher overseas because the donor culture is different and young donors are recruited."

He said women who donate in Cyprus tend to be students in their 20s, which greatly improves the chances of conceiving.

For now, Keith and Libby's dream of becoming parents rests with their donors in Cyprus.

"Although we will never know our donors, my wife and I will be forever thankful to them in giving us the seeds to have a family."

I somehow couldn't resist the urge for an "over-easy" joke. My apologies - carry on...

Well, I resisted :lol: ... One of purdey's finest one-liners!

But seriously, it's really interesting to see the mirroring (in many ways) of Cyprus' contributions towards those of the (finer) elements of the Swiss.
