Help Erika Become a Forever Mama.

Hey, everyone!

As many of you know, I love being a foster parent. Being a mama is one of my greatest joys, and also a constant heartache when my kiddos leave my home. Reunification with their families is the goal, and so while I'd love to keep them with me, adoption has not yet been an option.

Since 2020 I have been working with a fabulous team at Sanford Women's clinic to become a mama in another way, biologically.

After 6 failed IUIs, a 7th finally gave me a positive pregnancy test.... only to result in an ectopic pregnancy and removal of my right Fallopian tube.

I did a round of IVF and while my numbers looked FANTASTIC, I had a miscarriage, several failed implantations, and another ectopic pregnancy taking with it my left Fallopian tube.

With no other option than another round of IVF, due to having no Fallopian tubes left, I am turning to my community for support, this time financially.

While I will continue to foster, and would LOVE to adopt if the opportunity arises, it is my greatest desire to have a forever child.

If you are willing and able to donate to my next IVF procedure, know that your investment will not be in vain.

It takes a village to raise a child, and, in many cases, to HAVE a child.

Thank you for your support and kindness through a very difficult chapter of my life.
