The judges have made their choice; the winner of the In the Know Short Film Competition—sponsored by Fertility LifeLines™ and RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association—has been chosen. The first place was awarded to Kristin and Wally Acuña from Clifton, New Jersey. The Acuñas experienced secondary infertility; they had difficulty giving their son Averee a sibling. Eventually the Acuñas used IVF (in vitro fertilization), and gave birth to triplets in the spring of 2007. Join host Kim Hahn as she speaks with the Acuñas about their story, and the winning video they created.
