We are Nate and Erin (Seaton) Schott and we are reaching out to our family, friends and friends-of-friends for help with our IVF.  Being parents has always been a dream for both of us and we finally found our parenthood-partner. Children have always been a part of our lives and we can't wait to have one of our own. 

For the last 18 months we have been working with reproductive endocrinologists in CO/NE  to start a family.  .  After working with best doctors available, we have exhausted all other options, including 3 attempts with IUI and over $12,000 invested. We have been told that IVF is now our only option. Doctors/nurses, egg collection, sperm donor, fertilization, and implantation cost $25,000 for a minimum of two guaranteed embryos. IUI has a 10% success rate and IVF with this doctor has 70% success rate.  We know success not a guarantee but we are still holding out hope to fulfill the greatest gift of a  child in our lives. But we need help to become parents. 

Our lives are already so blessed and having a child is the one piece of the puzzle that we are missing. We can't wait to share Christmas mornings, birthdays, tooth fairies, bike riding, dogs and every amazing thing this world has to offer with our little one.  The old adage "it takes a village" has never been more true and we are so lucky to have an amazing family-village, along with the community support of our friends and neighbors. Plus, Nate comes pre-loaded with the best/worst Dad-Jokes and Rosie and Peanut are ready to snuggle!
