The Odds
Just as in normal in-vitro fertilization the couples had many obstacles that lay ahead. They would also need luck to be on their side. In order to undergo the procedure, Rachel would need to go through hormone treatments for months before the operation. Rachel only has a 10 percent chance of the implantation being a success. Additionally, the process is costly as each attempt costs between $10,000 and $15,000. Insurance does not cover the procedures, this adds to the couple’s reason for being stressed.

They were also going through this process whilst preparing for their return to Honduras. As they awaited to see whether it would be a success the family traveled to Honduras. The dedicated family wasted no time. Six weeks following the implantation they visited a local hospital to find out the result. Well, did the embryo take? They discussed the ordeal with a doctor in broken Spanish to the best of their ability.
