<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;color: #000000">Hi. My name is Jody; my husband is Eric. We are asking for your help to obtain our biggest DREAM, which is to have a child. We met, fell in love, and got married late in life for child-bearing years, but lucky just the same. The problem we face is that I am unable to carry a baby. Many years ago, I had a hysterectomy but could keep my ovaries. During a recent ultrasound, two beautiful eggs were visible. According to my doctor, fertility medications may bless us with a few more, giving us an even greater chance at having a family of our own. In this, I have complete faith.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in;font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;color: #000000">For older couples especially, fertility issues can be tough to deal with, and asking for help is much the same.
