Kindbody + Boomer Esiason Foundation: Making Parenthood Possible for People Living with CF
The Boomer Esiason Foundation (BEF) partnered with Kindbody to help people living with cystic fibrosis (CF) become parents through IVF treatment at one of Kindbody’s 27 fertility clinics nationwide. Two years into the BEF IVF program, nine families have welcomed a baby. This is remarkable because, until recently, people living with CF didn’t live to reach adulthood let alone become parents.
