Family Complete – Testimonial #792
Saturday, January 31st, 2009“Thank you Dr. Berger for allowing us to complete our family. The service you provided allowed us to have not one, but two of our children.”

Dear Dr Berger,
My previous testimony (#693) told how we were able to conceive our 4th child, Kylee, thanks to your reversal procedure. I wanted to follow up and tell you how complete our lives have become since my surgery in June 2006.
At the birth of my 3rd daughter, the doctor recommended that I have my tubes tied because I had a very difficult delivery and a uterine abruption. I did so, not thinking that down the road I may regret that decision, or possibly want more children. My husband always wanted a boy, but seemed quite content with the three daughters that God had given us.
As I mentioned in my first testimony – we tried to adopt, but became frustrated with the process. I prayed and prayed that the desire to have more children would go away, or that God would see fit to bring another child into our lives.
One Sunday after church my husband said he had something to tell me. We had someone watch our kids and the two of us went to dinner alone. He told me that during the morning service God spoke to him and told him that we were going to have a son. I said that I was praying to that end as well. He got very serious and said.. “You don’t understand… God told me that WE are going to have a son… not adopt… we are going to have one ourselves.” I laughed so hard the table shook! “How exactly do you plan on doing that?” I said. “I don’t know – all I know is that God spoke to me, and I have something to back it up” – he replied. He pulled out his new Bible his mother had just given him for Christmas and showed it to me. I didn’t understand.. He told me to read the name embossed on the front… I read it… Robert Keith Hunter, III…then it hit me… the retailer made a mistake. My husband is the 2nd, not the 3rd. I couldn’t help but feel like maybe it was a sign, but still doubtful that it would be possible.
That same week I was doing research for a Master’s paper I was working on, and somehow (I’m still not sure how) ended up on the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center site. I read everything I could read and watched the videos. Within 2 hours I had called the Center, and set up my surgery date. I KNEW that God was ordering my footsteps and making a way for us to have the son we had been praying for.
My previous testimony outlined what transpired in those months immediately following my surgery. We became pregnant immediately and had our 4th beautiful daughter in April 2007. We immediately fell in love with her and she brought so much joy to our house.
But my story really just begins here. In March of 2008, just 11 months after the birth of our first “Berger baby”, I found out I was pregnant with our second “Berger baby”.
After 15 weeks of pregnancy, an ultrasound revealed that it was a BOY. I cried right there in the room. After all the prayers and seemingly insignificant decisions… EVERYTHING led to that moment when we found out that our God not only hears but answers prayers.
We delivered our son, Robert Keith Hunter, III “Trevin” a few weeks early, but happy and healthy, on October 20, 2008. He weighed 3lb, 12oz and he looks just like his father.
THANK YOU so much for allowing us to complete our family, and for allowing God to use you to show us that NOTHING is impossible. I will forever be in your debt for the service you provided, that allowed us to have not one, but two of our children.
You are an amazing man, and I truly believe that God has allowed you to be here at this time in history, to fulfill His special purpose, for this generation. You will probably never know the impact that you have had on the world, the country, your city and our family. May God bless you, and may you continue to offer hope to those who have given up hope. It was all worth it!
Lamentations 2:19 says Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children.

Dr. Berger, I cannot think of how to thank you enough for the amazing work that you do. On October 16 I delivered a beautiful baby girl. Your extremely gifted hands have allowed my husband and I to grow our family in a way that we thought was never possible again.
I had my reversal in September of 2007, got a positive pregnancy test in January of 2008, and on September 9th 2008 delivered a beautiful full term 6lb 12 oz baby boy, Daven.
In 1999, my husband and I felt as though our family was complete so we made the decision to have a tubal ligation. Immediately following surgery, I knew I had made the wrong decision and lived with it for almost seven years. In January of 2006, we decided to explore our options and I came across Dr. Berger’s Web site. I was soon scheduled for February 13, 2006. And that is when our journey began.
I have teenage twin sons from previous marriage (hence tubes being tied ). You untied my tubes (one of them – the other was too short) in March of 2000. Thanks to you, I conceived my son, Ashton Hugh, in October 2003. This is a picture of him one year ago. He is now 3 yrs old. He is a smart and healthy boy.
