Campaign Story

Hi, my name is Maria and I have a history of severe preeclampsia with both of my children. My oldest was 3lbs and my 2nd child, born 11yrs later, was 3 months early at 1lb 13oz. I was so scared he wasn’t going to make it. I was in the hospital for 2wks when they gave me an emergency c-section. My son, Briscoe, was in the NICU for a little over 3 months. I would love 1 more child and my fiancé doesn’t have any children, so he would also love a little one. I’m 43, he is 41, my eggs are no good and my body doesn’t seem to agree with children being inside it. The doctors basically told me to not get pregnant again. My biggest fear is trying to carry and it end horribly for the baby and/or myself. Both adoption and surrogacy are so expensive but this is something we want so badly, so we will exhaust all options before giving up. Thank you for listening!
