23-year-old Devan Merck was born with a rare disorder which means she has no vagina. She and her family disovered when she was 12-years-old that as well as lacking a vagina canal, she was also born without a cervix and has a "unicornuate uterus" which means it never fully formed.
Surgeons created a ‘man-made’ vagina using skin taken from her bottom - allowing her to have sex and lead a normal life. And now Devan and her husband Trent, from Georgia, USA, are hoping to start a family with the help of a surrogate.
Nathan Mordel: Her ovaries seemingly are normal, they produce eggs. So, whenever she is ready, they can retrieve those eggs, put in a test jar, put some semen in from her husband, create an embryo and will have a perfectly genetic offspring of themselves. Future is looking very positive.
