As we prepare for Mother’s Day, I thought of a letter I received with a book, Catalogue Baby, that many people can relate to. Stories like this are why we are making one round of IVF free. We’re making sure people on the path to parenthood have fewer barriers and more support.

To all the mothers, matriarchs and caregivers doing the most here in BC — Happy Mother's Day.
And to those who don't mark this day with celebration: we see you, too.
❤️ 🧡 💛
