Are you planning on setting up a "gofundme" type account or something like that? Then people who wish to can support you in your journey?
ReplyDeleteWe will not be doing anything like that again. Adoption isn't cheap, just like the surrogacy wasn't, but one of our friends set up a "gofundme" type account for that to help us pay for that. We also had a huge fundraiser with a chili cook off and silent auction to raise money for it as well. I guess we just feel that between our 2 baby losses and then the financial support from all our friends and family for the surrogacy journey, we just don't want to have to ask anyone for anything else.
ReplyDeleteI think you should do it. Any little bit helps!
