    Mission: Motherhood

    15/05/2026 | 37 mins.
    Cheri Bergeron is a former tech executive and entrepreneur turned bestselling author, speaker, trained life coach, and founder of the nonprofit Cheri's Choice. Following her ten-year struggle with infertility that involved multiple rounds of IVF, donor conception, genetic defects and child loss, she successfully gave birth to her children at the ages of 44 and 46.
    Driven by these experiences, Cheri wrote the #1 Amazon bestseller Mission: Motherhood to let women know they aren’t alone in this struggle. Through her nonprofit, Cheri now helps women navigate non-traditional paths to motherhood on their own terms—with clarity, confidence, and choice. She lives with her beautiful, unconventional family in Austin, Texas.

About Mothers in Arms
This is my experience as an Independent Parent who went through a surrogacy journey in pandemic. With the help of an incredible medical team, an angel surrogate mother and her family helped bring my daughter to life. It was years of holding back on the idea of it, but it took leaving all I knew & loved in order to push through to becoming a mom. As I try to grow my family and the platform of assisted reproductive technology evolves, there’s a lot to navigate. I wanted to provide a resource for anyone dealing with infertility.
