Infertility impacts millions and is a globally recognized public health concern. Yet numerous barriers put infertility care out of reach for many.

The Center actively works to destigmatize infertility and ensure equitable access to assisted reproduction.

When Robyn’s 3 year-old grand baby entered foster care, she thought she could get custody.

It would take 6 years—3 years of fighting the system & 3 years of fighting the foster parents—for Robyn to adopt her grandbaby.

Her story is now the center of the Brackeen SCOTUS case.
