“Then we went to Vietnam, where we thought we’d get ethnic egg donors but the procedure was too time-consuming. Finally, we decided to take the donor to India.”

That’s how 27-year-old Yeen, a food technician, landed in Mumbai from Vietnam, while Scott and Nicole arrived from Florida in July. As the three had already fixed an appointment with a South Mumbai clinic, they went straight there.

“It is great to be here and help this couple, my friends, smile,” says Yeen.
“We are not only happy about the service, but also the expenses,” emphasizes Nicole. “In the US, the process alone costs $20,000-30,000 (Rs 8-12 lakh) leaving aside the fees of egg donor’s lawyer and the agents.” In India, the procedure costs between Rs 1.5-2 lakh.

So, was it only about money? “IVF is an emotional roller-coaster for a couple, (but) there’s a high level of professionalism and people are treated like machines in the US,” says Scott.

“The costs, including air fare and accommodation, are lower but close to what we would have spent back home,” he says. “But it’s a double deal here: you get a vacation, get your IVF cycle, get a child — and enjoy the hospitality”, he explains with a smile.
