The Churco Family begin their surrogacy journey

We started our IVF journey in 2019 after struggling to conceive for two years. After consulting with specialists, we were informed of my low ovarian reserve and IVF being the only optimal chance of us growing our family.

 

Luckily, we had success with IVF and became pregnant with our daughter. What an amazing outcome.

 

Unfortunately, at 27 weeks I began having issues with blood pressure and swelling. After 3 weeks in the hospital, Taylor was delivered via emergency C-section due to me suffering from pulmonary edema, kidney failure and severely high blood pressure that wasn't responding well to medications.

 

Since then, life has been such an amazing gift. Taylor spent 8 weeks in the NICU before coming home. She was on oxygen until 5 months old, through the beginning of the covid pandemic, but you would never guess that she was born at 30 weeks; She is just so incredible ❤️

 

Although I am no longer able to carry another child safely, we have an option of hiring a surrogate. But, holy mackerel, it's quite the expense!

 

GoFundMe is our step one to help bridge the gap from our savings to the $150,000 price tag of paying for surrogacy. We want our house to be full at holidays and Taylor not to grow up as an only child. She will be such an amazing big sister ❤️

 

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us make our dream come true.

 

With Sincerest Thanks,

The Churcos
