Woman Born Without A Vagina Hoping To Start A Family

Woman Born Without A Vagina Hoping To Start A Family

Inspirational.

Devan Merck was devastated after finding out she had no vagina when she was just 12-years-old.

Devan was diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, which is when a woman has a malformed uterus and no cervix.

Surgeons had to create a custom vagina using skin taken from her bum, which then allowed her to have sex and not fret about having no vagina.

Devan and her husband, Trent, who are from Georgia, are now in the process of creating a family with the help of a surrogate.

She explained: "I am no different - instead of having a fully functioning vagina. I have a man-made vagina.

"For years I was bullied and felt different. Kids would call me a 'boy' and a 'freak' and boyfriends would disappear when they realised I wouldn't have sex.

"But since I met my husband my life has changed completely. We recently discovered I have both my ovaries and we are hoping to have a biological child of our own."

This video explains it all.

"Everything I've been through has been me stronger and I think I will make an amazing mother."

Great stuff.
