The story...

Rob and Whitney and their 1 year old daughter learned they would be welcoming in another sibling in the spring of 2016. Over the summer, Whitney's pregnancy was rough with preterm labor signs. In December of 2016, Whitney's uterus ruptured and she was rushed into emergency surgery. Baby Persephone Iris, at 38 weeks, died. Whitney spent 40+/- days in the hospital as complication after complication threatened her life. Whitney was told having another pregnancy will likely kill her. However, the Brunos still have a dream of raising a second child with Selena. Their savings went towards the months in the hospital and burying Persephone. These funds are to assist us with gestational surrogacy.

Rachel and her family are potential carriers for us. Read her story here --> https://inmb.wordpress.com/
