Australian Story: Sept 30

Monday’s Australian Story profiles two families and details how an IVF donation changed everybody’s lives.

This episode is introduced by Sonia Kruger.

Emma and Richard Austin endured ten years of gruelling fertility treatments in their unsuccessful quest for a baby.

Two months after making the difficult decision to stop IVF, the offer of a lifetime arrived when a mutual friend introduced them to a Brisbane couple.

Jessica and JP DiZane’s family was complete and they had leftover embryos that they didn’t want to destroy.

After a series of heartfelt and challenging discussions between the couples, an altruistic donation led to Emma and Richard becoming the parents of baby Henry.

One year later, the couples come together to discuss how a surprise gift helped to solve everyone’s problems.
