Don't assume you know the story behind the pictures.
2008." Look at us, we are so cute having lunch at a fancy cafe... in the middle of the day. We are so extra!"
Extra-depressed, extra-broken, extra-lost. We were on a literal doctor-ordered vacation after my last miscarriage & last of years of failed treatments. It was so clear that we were drowning that we insisted we take a get ourselves right before we proceeded.
We have many people in our village to thank for finally getting me pregnant. One of them is AllPaths Family Building. Their conference introduced us to another couple who had their babies with the help of donor eggs. They were kind & honest. That interaction was how I finally envisioned using donors to build our own family. This organization & its people changed our lives. I am forever grateful.
The support groups & conference at AllPaths can be the only light in very, very dark times. AllPaths is a non-profit, and this is our only yearly fundraiser. The $ goes a long, long way. Thank you for any help.
Please help me get the word out. Please share.
For some of us the infertility battle becomes trauma. Research shows that simply being in the presence of others who have struggled with similar trauma is healing. This is why I help run the donor conception support group at https://allpathsfb.org/support/
