Marking the occasion, Motherhood Fertility & IVF launched a special Adoption Counselling Service that acts as an aid to educate couples on adoption policies & process. This unique service has probably been introduced for the first time in an IVF centre. There are couples who have very poor chances of success with IVF. Adopting a child is a very good option for them. Our counsellor will sensitize these couples on the possibility and process of adoption. Adoption provides a child to a needy couple and a family to an abandoned child.
