Faith and Cassandre decided to swap eggs and carry the other’s baby — at the same time.
The babies — Audrey Joe Rich and Marley Jane Rich — were born healthy and happy at Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville, three days apart from each other in March.
“The first step we did was a lot of research into reciprocal IVF and what we would be looking at as far as cost,” Faith said. “We realized very quickly that cost is a factor. It’s the biggest factor in it.” They said Amazon covered a majority of the costs through its fertility benefits, and they encouraged other couples to look into what employers offer for fertility coverage.
The couple said one of the best parts of their journey was understanding what each other was going through.
