Frances A. Fox, R.N. – Owner and Clinical Director. A 1984 graduate from Hahnemann University, School of Allied Health and Nursing, in Philadelphia, PA I spent the first nine years of my career working primarily in Labor and Delivery, Post partum and newborn nursery. I found the hospital setting to be challenging and rewarding but after nine years I felt I needed a change. I then worked doing home visits for high risk pregnant women and women discharged early after childbirth.

I loved the interaction and autonomy but found the travel to be very isolating. After only a year and half one of my home care patients had delivered a child conceived from IVF and so I ventured into the possibility of changing career paths and contacted the IVF clinic where she had received treatment. All in the space of one month I was interviewed and hired for what would become the start of my now growing career. From 1994 to 1997 I was employed as an IVF nurse. In July of 1997, the current donor egg nurse coordinator decided to leave her position. I worked as nurse coordinator for the donor egg program in that setting from July of 1997 to October of 2006. During the time of my employment I often became frustrated for our patients who often were told even after considering egg donation that they were in need of a gestational carrier. They felt alone, frustrated and had no where reputable to turn.

After considering all the implications I decided to incorporate privately an Agency of a different sort; one that would be run by a professional with years of experience in the field of infertility. There was so much mistrust and fear from our patients who didn’t know who to trust or where to turn and I felt I could make a difference from other Agencies. With the blessings and endorsement of the medical director of the clinic where I was employed I co-existed and continued to share responsibilities with another nurse until it became apparent that I was too busy to fairly give to both the clinic and my business. In October of 2006 I made the decision to solely work with A Woman’s Gift and although I enjoyed my early career of helping women deliver and care for their children the joy I’ve experienced while helping build families through the use of egg donation and gestational surrogacy has far surpassed any of what I could have imagined for my life’s work. I have been truly blessed to be able to participate in completing the dream for so many of becoming a family. I take this work on passionately and understand what support and care is needed during this emotional time.

With other staff members, Kelly, our office manager, Liza, Tessa and Lauren, and the ancillary staff we use as referral sources we provide the necessary clerical / medical / legal support to have all tasks completed in a timely and efficient manner.

Our primary focus is providing potential donor and gestational carrier candidates to those wishing to begin or build their family. We maintain a select group of candidates, screening and recruiting based on the latest guidelines of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. These women stand ready to help make your dream a reality. We believe they embody the best of the caring nature and generosity of spirit that makes third-party reproduction possible.

We realize the significance of choosing a donor or carrier and understand that this can be a powerfully emotional decision. So we provide the best and most extensive information possible about our candidates to make your selection process more enlightened and therefore less complicated and intimidating.

We remain dedicated to helping you achieve the priceless gift of parenting -- the gift that A Woman's Gift could not provide without the contributions of our donors and gestational carriers. Together we hope to serve you well!
