Credit Card Baby
By Annie Caulfield. Helen Baxendale and Ciaran McMenamin star as a couple who found each other just a little late. They want a baby, but first they need an egg.
Sally sometimes wonders if she has inadvertently put a spell on Sean, the kind, diligent man who has made her life so suddenly and unexpectedly great. But she's five years older than his forty, and he wants to be a father. It took them so long to find each other, and now she's worried she's going to let him down over something so significant: a baby.
The only option, according to their pompous, God-like gynaecologist, is to try using a donor egg from a Spanish clinic, where donors and eggs are plentiful.
The Spanish egg belongs to Ines, who understands the need for children. She and her husband Rai are suffering from Spain's economic troubles and selling her DNA seems like a solution. But she also has a generous spirit.
Annie Caulfield's drama parallels these two women's thoughts and experiences: they never meet but are closely bound together.
Funny, poignant and true.
