Why JFF?
When Emily and Stacy began to grow their families, they quickly learned that plans, biology, and science don’t always work they way you imagine. They both had wanted to carry a child and luckily even though her own eggs were not capable of giving her the ability to carry her own embryo, she had a wife with champion eggs. Emily was able to carry their son Davis and Stacy carried their daughter Cash. The two share full genetics thanks to the incredible science and fertility technology available today. They felt so lucky to make all their family dreams come true. When Emily was presented with the challenge and ability to help bring JFF to Detroit, not only was it a challenge accepted, but a passion flame was lit. She wished to help to give access to those who were in similar or different positions as she once was, who desperately wanted to become parents. While helping to bring awareness, resources, and guidance in this aspect to her local Jewish Community in Detroit.
