We Need Your Stories!

We are currently co-authoring a very important book published by Simon &Schuster called “Funding Fertility—How to Bring Home a Baby without Breaking the Bank.” In this book, we address many of the barriers associated with paying for the high costs related to infertility treatments and adoption.

This includes the “sticker shock” that we all get when we find out how much everything is going to cost, how to make cost-effective decisions (i.e., finding cheaper medication options, selecting certain clinics, undergoing certain procedures, considering “special deals”) without sacrificing quality of care, actually having to come up with the money without completing going broke, dealing with insurance companies and the lack of coverage, and much, much more.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! We are currently compiling stories from people struggling with infertility (or considering adoption)—either currently, in the past, or in the future—to include in our book. These stories can highlight the good, the bad, or the ugly in terms of having to come up with the money to pay for your treatments and/or adoption. Through this book, we hope to shed more light on this nearly completely fee-for-service (and not covered by insurance!) side of medicine so we can allow more of the 10 million people out there experiencing infertility access to the ability to have a baby that they so desperately want without having to suffer financially.

Having a baby should be a basic human right available to everyone, not a commodity in which some people make a lot of money! Please help us change in the current system for the better by sharing your stories and experiences.

You can remain anonymous and all correspondence will be treated with utmost confidentiality. PLEASE SEND ALL STORIES, EXPERIENCES, AND QUESTIONS TO
FUNDINGFERTILITY@YAHOO.COM.

Thanks so much for you help!
