Brand Baby Growing in Our Hearts

Hi! Thank you for visiting our page. As some of you know, we have been trying to start our family for over four years now.  We decided to start trying to grow our family on our honeymoon. That was September 6th, 2014.  Sadly, 1533 days later (but who's counting), we have not been blessed with the end result we want.  Over that time we’ve done it all: fertility drugs with ovulation kits, 3 failed IUI’s, IVF egg retrievals with 3 failed IVF transfers just to name a few. On August 15, we got the news that I would not be able to carry our own kids. The doctors call it implantation failure, but for us we were failures.  Hearing those words come from our doctor was difficult to process. However, there is one last option that we can explore. We would need a surrogate.  

We decided to use a surrogate agency to help us with this journey. After our consultation, we were both overwhelmed with the amount of money we would need in order to go through the process. The approximate costs are $65,000 to $100,000. Those costs cover agency fees, surrogate fees, legal fees, insurance fees, and much more. Any contributions made through this go fund me will go explicitly to the cost of surrogacy to start our family.  With all that said, we need some serious financial support to start our family. If you would like a peek into our past struggles please view our blog : www.ivfgotthis.weebly.com and look forward to our new blog “Growing in Our Hearts.”

Thank you for taking the time and reading our go fund me page. We appreciate those who have supported us through this process, and those who will continue to in the months to come.

With love,

Michael and Erika Brand
