was abruptly recalled from her post in May. Sondland has been the ambassador to the European Union since late June 2018. He is scheduled to give a deposition to the committees next week. Sondland seemed to downplay the concerns raised by his counterpart in Kiev."Gordon, one thing Kurt and I talked about yesterday was Sasha Danyliuk's point that President Zelenskyy is sensitive about Ukraine being taken seriously, not merely as an instrument in Washington domestic, reelection politics," Taylor wrote on July 21.Sondland replied, "Absolutely, but we need to get the conversation started and the relationship built, irrespective of the pretext."On September 1, Taylor raised a question about the conditions upon which the aid was stalled and a White House visit by Zelensky would be predicated."Are we now saying that security assistance and WH meeting conditioned on investigations?" Taylor asked."Call me," Sondland replied.On September 8 and 9, Taylor suggested the continued delay in security aid was benefiting Russia, referring to potential "nightmare" situations on both days. On September 8 he alluded to quitting in protest."The nightmare is they give the interview and don't get the security assistance. The Russians love it (And I quit.)," he wrote on September 8.Sondland, in response to Taylor's suggestion on September 9 that the assistance was being withheld "for help with a political campaign," said that the diplomat was "incorrect about President Trump's intentions.""The President has been crystal clear no quid pro quo's of any kind. The President is trying to evaluate whether Ukraine is truly going to adopt the transparency and reforms that President Zelensky promised during his campaign," Sondland wrote. He suggested Taylor contact Secretary of State Mike Pompeo or his executive secretary to discuss it further.Sondland's extensive involvement in Ukraine -- given that he is EU ambassador -- has raised questions. Sondland told UATV in July, "President Trump has not only honored me with the job of being the US ambassador to the EU, but he's also given me other special assignments, including Ukraine.""We have what are called the three amigos, and the three amigos are Secretary Perry, Ambassador Volker and myself. And we've been tasked with sort of overseeing the Ukraine-US relationship between our contacts at the highest levels of the US government, and now the highest levels of the Ukrainian government," Sondland said in that interview.On Friday, Trump sought to downplay his involvement in the ambassador's exchanges, saying, "I don't even know most of these ambassadors. I didn't even know their names."However, the President immediately went on to praise Sondland for declaring there had not been any quid pro quo."The text message that I saw from Ambassador Sondland -- who's highly respected -- was: There's 'no quid pro quo.' He said that," Trump said.Sondland, a political appointee, came to the diplomatic world from the business one. According to his State Department biography, he was "the Founder and CEO of Provenance Hotels, a national owner and operator of full-service boutique 'lifestyle' hotels. He is a longtime Republican donor.Taylor has held a variety of diplomatic roles. In addition to earlier serving as ambassador to Ukraine, Taylor oversaw assistance and support to Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Syria at the State Department during the Arab Spring, "served in Jerusalem as the U.S. Government's representative to the Mideast Quartet," "oversaw reconstruction in Iraq from 2004 to 2005, and served in Kabul as coordinator of international and U.S. assistance to Afghanistan from 2002 to 2003," according to his State Department biography. He was most recently the Executive Vice President of the US Institute of Peace.The US Embassy in Kiev referred questions about the texts to the State Department's Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, which did not immediately reply to requests for comment. Sondland's spokesperson referred inquiries to the White House, which also did not immediately reply. 4062

Virginia’s doctor’s advice was to give it a year before they worried.They gave it a year while they worried.There was testing, different conclusions, more testing and more trying.Three years into their marriage they started seeing specialists, something they later wished they’d done sooner.They were referred to a reproductive endocrinologist. They finally had answers, which meant they finally knew what might be needed to get pregnant.Virginia had endometriosis. A condition in which the tissue normally lining the uterus or the womb grows outside of the uterus. Endo, as it’s often called, is a painful condition which affects about 11% of women. It is known to cause infertility.Dusty was diagnosed with varicocele, an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum. The condition occurs in about 16% of males. It is usually harmless, but can be associated with infertility. Varicocele can contribute to lower sperm count and decreased sperm quality. “It’s disheartening thinking that I might be the problem,” said Dusty, glancing at his wife.First attempts with IUIThey started what’s called intrauterine insemination, or IUI, a fertility treatment involving placing sperm into the woman’s uterus to help with fertilization. The goal is to increase the number of sperm reaching an egg. During this treatment, the woman takes hormone injections.“You're emotional. You’re already emotional from having to go through this and then you have all of that added on top of it,” said Virginia of the extra hormones from injections.“It really messes with your hormones. Basically, you feel like you’re pregnant, and maybe more like the harder parts of pregnancy,” she said.A cycle of IUI is performed once a month at ovulation. It’s done in a clinical setting at the doctor’s office.“The actual process itself is uncomfortable. They have to insert into your cervix and into your uterus. It’s quick but it’s just not ideal. Not as pleasant as the natural route. It’s awkward with the doctor and the nurse,” said Virginia.IUI cost the Merritt’s about ,000 a month and they did three rounds, or three months of treatment, before having success. They were pregnant, and were both nervous for the pregnancy to last.“It’s hard to be hopeful. At the same time, you have to have hope,” said Dusty about the pregnancy.Their son Macsen was born happy and healthy. They thought they were done having children, but the urge built over time. They wanted Macsen to have a sibling and they wanted another baby. The desire built in them to the point they started feeling all of the emotions of their earlier attempts.The couple went through four rounds of IUI, some of them painful and all of them unsuccessful. The cost was about ,000 a month, which they’d been covering with odd jobs and cuts from other places in the budget. It was decided, the best option for pregnancy was in vitro fertilization, or IVF.It would have to be IVFIVF is a much more labor-intensive process, and much more expensive.An IVF cycle is a series of procedures to assist with conception of a child. Mature eggs are collected from the woman’s ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a lab. Then, the fertilized egg (or embryo) or eggs are implanted in the woman’s uterus. A cycle typically takes two weeks, and depending on personalized details, can cost between ,000 and ,000, sometimes more. Virginia and Dusty weren’t sure how they were going to afford IVF. They were selling their house and knew they’d have some equity from the sale. They worked extra. They saved.They started making appointments here. They were growing more discouraged, but remained determined. “We were feeling really lost for a while. Like, how are we going to come up with this money? Are we in the right place? We were frustrated and unhappy,” recalled the couple.The textA text from Virginia’s sister one morning changed everything.“She said, had we considered treatment outside of the US for IVF?” Virginia immediately started looking up information online. “I spent the entire day researching medical tourism,” she said, her husband chuckling.Virginia found the Barbados Fertility Clinic, even emailing them to ask questions. They responded almost immediately.“She’s looking up all this stuff,” said Dusty, “and then she’s springing it on me, sending me text messages. I get home and she’s like, I’m serious! Look at this, and look at this. Showing me all the research she’d done,” said Dusty.The couple learned the difference in price was significant. A full round of IVF for everything they wanted here was going to run ,000 at a local clinic. Total price for IVF in Barbados was to be about ,300.The Barbados clinic had a travel guide who helped them figure out details and pricing for travel. Airfare for four (they were taking their older son and Virginia’s mom), a condo for two weeks, a car, and food totaled up to about ,000. The total trip with everything, including IVF, was to cost them about ,500.(Note, the Merritt’s say they were originally quoted ,000 to ,000 for IVF in the states, but didn’t know the quote did not include medication. That piece of information significantly changed the financial commitment for which they’d need to be prepared. They share so other couples will know to ask about including that in expenses.)The decision to goAfter more research and more discussions, and further communication with the clinic in Barbados, Virginia and Dusty made their decision. They were going to Barbados.“Worst case, we have this amazing vacation with our son. Best case, we come home pregnant,” said Dusty.They did get a little nervous as they were about to go.“Flying out, it was like, we’re going on a vacation. This is nice. And then it was, okay, we’re going for medical treatment. This has all been built up and it’s all so wonderful. Is it actually going to be what we think it is,” said Virginia, recalling her feelings as they left for Barbados.The couple was in Barbados for two weeks. The clinic was across the street from the beach; the couple’s condo was a short walk to both. They were there two weeks, and report a very comfortable experience and a wonderful vacation.They left Barbados unsure if their efforts had worked, although Virginia said anyone struggling with fertility is to act as if they’re pregnant until they know for sure they’re not.“It’s called PUPO, or pregnant until proven otherwise,” she explained.The babiesSix days after returning from Barbados, Virginia and Dusty found out they were pregnant.“Oh my goodness! It worked!” she remembered saying.It was twins. Baby boy, Wells Coen Merritt, was born a few moments before his sister, Isla Lawrence Merritt. Wells has the distinct honor of being the 2000th baby born with the assistance of the doctors at the Barbados Fertility Clinic.Barbados Fertility ClinicDr. Juliet Skinner opened the Barbados Fertility Clinic in 2002. “I’ve been a qualified gynecologist since 1998, qualified for medicine in 1992,” she said, stating how long she’d been practicing medicine.She and her staff get inquiries regularly from couples exploring options for fertility treatments, and the clinic is reportedly very quick at responding to questions, something Virginia Merritt told us was a huge plus in her opinion.Most women want to know success rates, cost, length of time and safety.Success rates are difficult to verify when dealing with clinics because different variables lead to differing success rates and many clinics choose what’s best to market. It’s important for couples considering IVF to ask questions about their specific circumstances to learn the most likely chance of success. As for cost, that’s easier to quantify. As mentioned earlier with the Merritt’s, cost in Barbados was about a fourth of what the couple was quoted in the states. A typical stay for treatment is two weeks. The typical length of a woman’s visit for treatment in Barbados is two weeks, at which time she leaves and will learn if the visit was successful at producing a pregnancy within a week of returning home.As for oversite and regulation?“It’s always a leap of faith for someone to leave their home country and go to another country to have healthcare,” said Skinner.Barbados is a very small island and doesn’t have a regulatory body like the United States does.However, the clinic is accredited by Joint Commission International, or JCI.41 Action News reached out to JCI to learn what an accreditation from them entails. Dr. Paul Chang, Vice President, Accreditation, Standards and Measurement, for Joint Commission International, e-mailed back this statement: 8659
