Operation Baby Beckwith
Donation protected
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in the baby carriage. I’m sure we’re all familiar with this children’s rhyme. Oh how only if that could always be true without any problems.
Did you know that one out of six couples face infertility? We are that one out of six. This trial has been emotional and certainly a growing experience as we’ve had to lean on the Lord in ways like never before. We've decided to break our silence and share our story.
After three years of trying and three failed IUI’s, it’s being recommended we advance to In vitro fertilization (IVF). We’ve prayed about whether this is the right course of action for us and have felt affirmed that this is the next step in our journey.
It’s an expensive venture and the final hurdle in moving forward is the financial barrier. Unfortunately, Indiana isn't one of the fifteen states that provides insurance coverage to couples pursuing fertility treatment. The expense of IVF is $15,000.
Asking for support for something so personal is very humbling. We don’t want anyone to feel pressured or obligated. However, if you do have a desire to contribute, we have committed to run the Monumental Half-Marathon on Saturday, November 7, 2015 and would love for you to consider making a gift of $52. That is $2 per mile for each of the 13.1 that we’ll both run. If financially you’re unable or don’t feel called or inclined to, we absolutely understand but we still covet your prayers.
IVF is not a guarantee but we want to give ourselves the best chance possible and that means reducing stress. So we don’t feel any extra pressure, we aren’t going to share the exact date of our procedure. We can say we hope it will be sometime in the first three months of next year. If the first attempt is unsuccessful we’ll optimistically have another opportunity to try again at a much reduced price tag. To learn more about IVF, visit http://www.resolve.org/family-building-options/ivf-art/in-vitro-fertilization-understanding-the-process.html.
We’re certainly praying we’ll have success on our very first try. If by chance, we raise over our goal and our first attempt is unsuccessful we’ll use the additional monies towards our second round of IVF. If it is successful, we’d like to use the monies to start a donor advised fund to help other couples facing the same trial.
For those that contribute over $50, you’ll receive an Operation Baby Beckwith dog tag necklace that will be engraved with Matthew 19:26, “With God all things are possible."
