Illume Fertility’s Annual Baby Boo Party Brings Together Families and Providers for Heartwarming Celebration
Former patients return to celebrate family, gratitude, and community

Norwalk, CT – Illume Fertility, a leading practice serving the tri-state area, brought together dozens of families and staff members on Saturday, November 1, 2025, for its annual Baby Boo Party, a Halloween-themed celebration filled with laughter, costumes, and connection.
Held at Illume’s Norwalk office, the event invited families who have worked with the practice to return, reconnect with their care teams, and celebrate their journeys to parenthood. The cheerful open-house format encouraged guests to stop in for photos with their doctors, pick up seasonal treats, and share in the excitement of seeing familiar faces.
The Baby Boo Party has become a beloved Illume tradition, giving former patients the chance to express gratitude to the physicians, nurses, and staff who helped them build their families. In turn, providers had the opportunity to see the children whose births they helped make possible—a powerful reminder of the emotional impact of their work.
