Adam and I have been together since 1999. It was fate that we met. My grandfather went in for open heart surgery & when they opened him up they realized it was too complicated and he'd have to be transported to United Hospital for the procedure. While waiting for him to come out of surgery at United I had lunch in the cafeteria, where I met Adam. It was love at first site! I knew right then, he was the one I wanted to spend my life with.
About 3 years in we decided to start a family but couldn't get pregnant. And we just kept telling ourselves to be patient. We waited. And waited. But no luck. So we went to the Dr. Adam had a low count and his semen were clumped together at the tails! All of his swimmers were going in different directions, but not really moving because they were stuck together. At that point, we decided to try insemination. We went through 4 rounds before our Dr suggested IVF. We weren't ready for that so we asked for other options. We were sent to a urologist who told us Adam had a veicole vein that needed to be repaired in his scrotum. They said that may be the cause of the clumping. Adam was not excited to have this surgery, but he wanted a baby of his own & went through with the procedure. It was a success! His count skyrocketed & had many less clumps! The Dr said give it a year to heal. We waited again. Still nothing. We decided to go ahead with IVF . This was truly the hardest thing we have ever been through. The emotions were endless. I cried uncontrollably through the whole process, man the hormones they give you! This also didn't work and we spent so much money! That was a tough pill to swollow.
We decided to give up trying for a while. I just wasn't ready to try again.
Fast forward 2 years. We decided to think about coming up with the money to try IVF again. While we started talking about this, I was approached by a woman that had a pregnant daughter that was giving up her baby that is due 04/22/16! This was 4 weeks ago! Yes of course we want to adopt her baby! But with only another month to go, we're struggling to come up with the money. This was not planned by us, but by our higher power! We have never wanted anything more than this! Our baby girl is at our finger tips! We desperately need your help! We must come up with enough money for both our lawyer and hers, as well as travel expenses. We're asking for your help and support through all of this. Any donation, big or small will help! Please consider our cause!
