🚨 Trigger Warning 🚨

Infertility, Miscarriages & IVF


"My whole life, I dreamt of having babies by 25 years old. When I turned 24, I was quite aware that wasn't going to happen.

My husband (boyfriend at the time) and I ended up adopting Ralph, and he quickly became my baby. We have now been dealing with infertility for just about 3 years and IVF for a year and a half. Ralph has been there for me through the last 7 years, but I have noticed our relationship has gotten extremely close since we started IVF.


He has been there for me through every needle and through the 4 losses we have endured so far. I was in a very dark place last summer and he could tell. He was glued to my side and still is.


He ended up getting pancreatitis about a month ago and it was very hard on me, thinking that I may lose my soul dog, the boy that made sure I always had a smile on my face, even through the times I really didn't think I would survive.


He is my best friend and I truly can't imagine my life without him."
