Last resort, Help us

Hi, my name is Emily and my husband's name is Darrell. In 2013 we started our journey of fertility treatments. We did 3 rounds of IVF retrievals, 2 transfers, 1 chemical and 1 identical twin pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage at 9 weeks. We found out on December 20th 2013, with a d&c on the 23rd. I have to say, that was probably the hardest thing we had ever gone through in our lives. We had already spent over $20 thousand dollars. We were broke and broken. We took a year off, mainly to recoup and to just be there for eahother. In 2016, we started again. We did 2 rounds of iui, with negative results. We decided IVF was what we needed to do again. We did one round where only 2 embryos grew, but when we were 1.5 hours into our trip, we found out the embryo stopped growing. We were devastated. The next round they were able to get 9 eggs, inject 5, 4 grew, 3 made it to day 3... all were very poor quality. We put back 2 as recommended by the doctor and the did not take. We found out that I am no longer producing eggs. Between no eggs and Darrell having a chromosomal abnormality, using donor eggs and sperm would cost so much and no guarantee of taking home a baby in the end. So, we have choosen to go to the adoption route. Adoption is expensive and we just spent another $11k on the ivf cycles and meds. We are swollowing our pride and asking for help.  We are still in debt from all the ivf cycles, and we know adoption comes with attourney fees, travel, the child and many other expenses.  It costs between $10k - $35k to adopt. This will guarantee we bring home a baby. This is my last resort to help offset the cost of this process. We need help. If you know me, you know I work all the time, trying to pick up over time and same with Darrell. We appreciate anything you could help us with. Please know from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you ❤
