FULL TRANSCRIPT OF "MEET THE PEREZ FAMILY" VIDEO

Ricardo: I never thought that I would want to have any more kids because I was in the military at that time and figured that with all the deployments it wasn’t just good time to raise kids any more. I already have two and figured that’s enough. Then I met Ashley.

Ashley: When I got married to my husband, he had had a vasectomy and he has two children already and I do not have any kids so I wanted to start my own family with him. So we started to do some research and we found Dr. Marks.

Ricardo: I got a great sense of welcomeness from all of the staff; something that people probably don’t experience when they go to a hospital.

Ashley: When we met him, he was wearing purple Converse shoes and right off the bat that just kind of made us see his personality and he just makes everyone feel right at ease right away.

Ricardo: Choosing Dr. Marks to me would be the smart interest for the simple fact that he’s a very humble and down-to-earth individual who explains everything cut and dry. He is not going to try to…not like a car salesman trying to get people to the new gadgets. He’s basically a person who’s trying to help everyone create a life.

Ashley: As a result of the reversal, six months later we got pregnant.

Ricardo: Dr. Marks pretty much told us take it slow; usually these things don’t happen within the first year, sometimes up to a year and a half, so we kind of set our minds that it’s going to take awhile.

Ashley: I took a pregnancy test at five in the morning because I became anxious about if I was or not and when I saw the positive I jumped on the bed and woke my husband up and showed him and I was like, “Is this two lines?”

Ricardo: I opened my eyes up and as glossy-eyed as I was I looked at and said, “Know what, I know what two lines mean but that means she’s pregnant; we are pregnant.”

Ashley: My son’s name is Lyric and he’s two and a half now and I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have him, so I owe doctor Marks a huge thanks.

Ricardo: He has given us a beautiful gift and I think without him it wouldn’t have been possible.”
