Testimonial

After 12 years of trying to conceive a family naturally we had given up all hope of ever having a family, this was our last chance. George instantly put us at ease, from the very first call we felt like individuals, that our past heartbreak and future dreams were important to him and he actually cared and wanted the very best for us.
