Baby Fiala Surrogacy
Baby Fiala Surrogacy
For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Meghan Litsey, and I have been best friends with Meghan since our senior year of high school. We bonded over the fact that we have the same first and middle name, and we each have younger brothers named Ben. Beyond that, Meghan is the cheese to my macaroni and my favorite partner in crime! When she told me that she and Matt were going to pursue surrogacy, I wanted to do anything I could to support her and Matt in this exciting new chapter. Join me in supporting Meghan and Matt in their surrogacy journey!
Meet the Fialas
Matt and Meghan were married in 2017, and they always knew they wanted to start a family but recognized there could be some challenges along the way. At the delicate age of nine months, Meghan was diagnosed with leukemia and immediately underwent treatment, which included a life-saving bone marrow transplant from her younger brother, Ben, at the age of two. Many years later, Meghan met with multiple doctors and specialists to understand the effects of the cancer treatment and her fertility. Ultimately, she found out that she would not be able to carry children of her own because of the side effects of having cancer so young.
Despite these challenges, Meghan is strong and resilient, and we are so proud of how far she’s come; in November 2020, Meghan celebrated her 30th anniversary of being cancer-free! Matt is Meghan’s perfect match. He is one of the most genuine, selfless people I know, and we have watched them endure so much together. They make the perfect pair, and anyone who knows them instantly recognizes that they will be THE BEST parents.
Where They are Now
Meghan and Matt are at the beginning of their surrogacy journey. The next steps include identifying an agency to find a gestational carrier to carry their baby.
The Ask
I can’t speak for Meghan and Matt, but this ‘ask’ is certainly a lesson in humility and vulnerability for us all. I pressured…I mean…encouraged them to consider letting me set up a GoFundMe page on their behalf to enable support from our community. Our friends and family oftentimes offer their support and help, but under these circumstances, there is not much to suggest in return. However reluctant they may be, to have our friends and families come together to support them is overwhelming to comprehend, and there are no words - just gratitude and love. By donating, it means you believe in them enough to be parents, and it is a daunting yet rewarding challenge they are SO ready to take on.
If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page with your network. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. We appreciate every one of you!
Cheers, Meghan Litsey
