Grecia and Mark Devlin knew they wanted children. But when the Southern California couple began trying to conceive, a year passed without success.
This started a journey that eventually led them to Tijuana, Mexico, where the Devlins underwent in vitro fertilization or IVF. It is by far the most expensive fertility treatment. But in Mexico, it costs a fraction of what it costs in California.
“input port, ”A border podcast from KPBS and PRX, continues its series on medical tourism at the border with this story about crossing the border between the United States and Mexico to try to have a baby one last time. It’s a story about how far some people will go when the future they have imagined is suddenly out of reach.
FEATURED PODCAST
They are cross-border stories that connect us. People from the frontier usually inhabit this in-between place. From KPBS and PRX, “Port of Entry” tells personal stories of this place: stories of love, hope, struggle, and survival of those who cross the border, the frontiersmen, and others whose lives are shaped by the wall. Presented by Alan Lilienthal, produced by Kinsee Morlan and sound design by Emily Jankowski.
