The

congenital defect - it has no internal reproductive organs. O was diagnosed, she learned even as a girl. To somehow reassure her, Lucy Marks (Lucy Marks), the younger sister of Katie's sister has promised to give his egg. After
a while Kathy Slade, a teacher in primary school, got married, but the
conception and birth of a child with its anomalies were quite
impossible.

surrogate mother in law and make for a child. The

perfectly healthy little girl, who was given the name of Beatrice
(Beatrix).
