A woman determined to become a mum despite being single and in her 50s had her dreams come true – after welcoming a little girl via IVF.
Kelly Clarke, 51, was known amongst friends for being ‘great with kids’ and always wanted to be a mum but had been unlucky in love.
As she approached her 50th birthday, Kelly knew 'time was not on her side' and made the decision to fly to Athens, Greece, in March 2020 for an IVF consultation on recommendation from a friend.
She claims she was met with a ‘huge amount of resistance’ from family at the thought of being an older mother and using a sperm donor to welcome a child – but knew that being a mum was what she wanted.
In July 2020, Kelly flew back to Athens for the fertilised embryo to be implanted, before taking a pregnancy test 12 days later to find out the IVF had been successful – and she was pregnant.
