Fundraising

Where does all the money go? As you can imagine fertility treatments are expensive, they have always been expensive, and as medical science improves they actually are getting more expensive. In fact the best chance Jen and I had at getting pregnant and carrying to full term was the newest, most expensive and yet most unproven of all fertility treatments. Oh yeah and of course they are not covered under insurance. We knew this and still it didn’t matter, we would stop at nothing to have our family.

Guess what? Adoption is more expensive than fertility treatments, in most cases costing more than $20,000.00 for one adoption. That same amount of money will get you about 3 failed fertility treatments. Still it won’t deter us. We started this summer by having 2 yard sales to help defray the cost. We also are recycling aluminum cans. We already have many friends and family members saving their cans for us. If you recycle aluminum, call us, e-mail us, send a letter, use smoke signals, whatever the case, Jim can come pick them up, just let us know. Every can helps. If you have any other ideas on how to help with fundraising let us know, we really value anything you can think of.
