my success story as a receipiant
my success story as a receipiant
My dream has been to be a wife and a mother. Once I was married to my best friend- the best husband and father I know. I was ready to get pregnant. After 2 years of fertility treatments, 3 miscarriages in 12 months we decided it was time to adopt a newborn domestically. The second we decided that it was ease and grace from there- we were picked in 2 weeks and the birthmom was 6 months- so from the day we were picked we had him exactly 3 months later. I have never felt such joy and happiness as I do now. It took me a while to get over the fact that I wasn't going to be pregnant but I did not give up on the breast milk. I am a pediatric Occupational Therapist and I know how great BM is for these little ones. So I started hunting I found breastmilk banks but the milk was 3 dollars an ounce- I was planning on doing it no matter what- I started working 3 jobs to pay for the adoption/breastmilk but then I found milk share. We could never have afforded the breastmilk from the bank with the expenses from the fertility and adoption. Blake is now 1 month onld and exclusively on breastmilk!!! yippeee - we even had an amazing donor in PA where we adopted him from. Now that we are back in san diego we hope to be able to give him this gift through his 1st birthday and because of you amazing donor I think we will!!
thank you all for assisting me in this successful journey - my family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts!!
