I grew up in a wonderful seaside community south of Boston. My parents’ marriage was not a happy one, and when I was ten and my sister five, they separated and eventually divorced. It was not a pretty parting of the ways.
I was left devastated and confused. My mom and I had a sometimes contentious but mostly very loving relationship. But it was my dad who got me though those years in one piece, giving me everything I needed to come out on the other side as a healthy, happy young adult. Thanks to my remarkable father, I wanted to become a parent and aspired to be half the dad he was.
I hoped to find the girl of my dreams, get married, and have children, but my great fear was that any marriage I entered into would end up as my parents’ had, and that was the last thing on Earth I wanted to go through. I certainly didn’t want to have any children of mine experience what I did.
Then I met Jodi. The rest, as they say, is history. Our infertility journey gave us lots of insight, knowledge, stories, and first-hand experience to share with those either newly diagnosed, those just beginning or in the midst of treatment, or those considering alternative options to build their family. We have a distinct perspective to offer and our mission is to help others going through what we went through years ago as we struggled to create our family.
We sincerely hope that our story and lived experience will inspire and support you on your family-building journey.
Thanks so much for visiting!
Warmly,
Jay
