Katie McMann and her husband struggled with infertility for years, finally turning to IVF to resolve their infertility. They discovered that not only does IVF not cure infertility, but it also comes with tremendous moral implications, especially in Catholic theology. Katie explains the process she and her husband went through after they learned more about the Catholic perspective on infertility and IVF as well as the origins of their IVF ministry.
Through Shiloh IVF Ministry, Katie helps couples deal with the hardship of infertility, discern what to do with frozen embryonic children, and more.
