It was through her own experience with her first set of twins that Ms. Montgomery realized how little information was available. In 1994 she began teaching classes through Multiple Birth Resources to help mothers have healthier babies and to prepare families for when the babies come home. Such a service is crucial in the Denver area, which is one of the nation's leading centers in assisted reproductive medicine.
