Hi everyone! My wife and I have been married since 2015 and have been trying to start a family since 2020. After more than a year without being able to conceive naturally, we decided to seek out help with a fertility specialist which ended up being far more involved than either of us thought it would ever be. We have gone through multiple IUI and IVF cycles and the hundreds of shots that come along with them, multiple non-successful implantations, a non-successful embryo transfer, a successful embryo transfer that resulted in a miscarriage at week 10, and thousands upon thousands of dollars spent in an effort to try and grow our family.
We have always known we wanted to adopt, and now we are turning our eyes towards that process as we see the difficulty in starting a family naturally as well as medically as a sign that perhaps we were always meant to make ourselves available to those in need of a loving home and family for their little ones. We know that these are trying times for everyone, but we would be incredibly appreciative of any amount that can be spared to continue along this path. The price of adoption is full of fees that add up incredibly quickly and can total up to tens of thousands of dollars. We are hoping to raise as close to the $35,000 mark as we can to try and offset the overwhelming amount it will ultimately cost to achieve our dreams. Thank you all so much and God bless you.
