Update as of 10/5/25:

We’ve hoped, we’ve prayed, and now we’re overjoyed to finally share…our little miracle is on the way! After more than five years of waiting, praying, and holding onto faith, our dream is becoming real. We’re praying hard that our little blessing stays cozy and growing strong until March. This journey has been anything but easy, and every day still comes with nerves but we’re trusting God and feeling so thankful for every single moment.

We truly couldn’t have done it without our Gestational Carrier, Jennie!

We’re thanking God every day for this blessing and can’t wait to meet our lucky charm in March  

We will still be raising funds to help with medical and carrier expenses.

Update as of 2/18/25:

We are thrilled to announce that a new journey is beginning!

We have found our match with an amazing gestational carrier!

We have 6 frozen embryos that are biologically ours, they will be transferred to the carrier, in hopes to grow our baby! Please send all the good vibes and prayers our way.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our journey!

—————————————

As of November 2024, we are in the approval process with a potential gestational carrier. Praying for the best outcome and trying to raise money to get started if she’s approved.

Thank you for your continued support!

2023

After taking some time to heal, we are finally ready to start up the next journey towards #makingbabywickes

We are excited to continue our Surrogacy Journey. We will be raising money to help fund a Surrogate, in our case a Gestational Carrier. Someone that will be carrying our Embryo as we have 6 frozen. (An Embryo that is ours biologically.)

Unfortunately we have spent a LOT of our money on IVF, insurance does not cover this in our state. We know this is another process that is going to be pricy and will need more than this amount, but we will also be doing fundraisers as well. All funds raised will cover: Legal Fees, Surrogate Compensation, Embryo Transfer, Surrogate insurance and needs, Travel, etc. If this does not work with a surrogate, we will use the money towards adoption.

What we have sacrificed, the pain, heartache and tears it took to try to create a child is beyond what most people could imagine, unless you have been in our shoes. We have decided to share our story because infertility should be talked about more often as it is more common than most would think. It’s an unfair journey that no one should ever have to go thru! This is not a male factor, it is due to low egg count and several female surgeries.

We started our IVF journey in 2020, at a Colorado fertility clinic and that is where our frozen embryos were stored. In 2023, we transferred our embryos to their new fertility clinic that opened in Sarasota, FL.

Since we started IVF:

1 Pregnancy Loss

1 D&C Surgery

1 Ablation Surgery

100s of Shots & Pills

3 Egg Retrieval Surgeries

4 Embryo Transfers

6 Embryos Transferred

Tubal Removal Surgery

1 Biopsy

12 plane rides

Major weight gain

Countless Tears

Many Prayers

& a LOT of money!

The end result was unfortunately a Hysterectomy after we lost our baby. I can no longer carry a child and pray we raise enough money for someone else to do so.

You can’t put a price on having your dream come true! We did everything it took to create a precious baby and as emotional as it is, we plan to keep trying if that’s God’s path for us.

If you don’t want to donate here, we do have a bank account for our Surrogate Journey.

Thank you for reading our journey and we appreciate any support!
