Welcome to our story! We've been married for four years now. Just a couple of weeks after we tied the knot, Hadland went off to basic training. During that time, we were eager to start our family, but with the separation, it wasn’t possible. After the move to California and once we were reunited, we hoped to begin our journey toward having children. Unfortunately, it didn't happen as we'd hoped, but we were blessed to have our dog Poppy, who brought us love and a sense of purpose. She's been like our baby.

We became more serious about trying to conceive and were excited after getting three positive pregnancy tests! However, when we visited the OB, the doctors told us that it was too early to confirm. After a few negative tests, we decided to pursue fertility testing. That's when we received the difficult news that conceiving naturally would be impossible without the help of IVF. This was daunting news, because we learned that for us to go through with IVF, the cost associated would be financially out of reach for us.

While this hasn't been easy to accept, we trust in God's plan for us and remain hopeful. We are staying positive as we navigate this journey. We would be so grateful for any support to help make our dream of starting a family come true, especially in offsetting the expenses of IVF. Any contribution, big or small, means the world to us! We love all of you so much!
