CHANNEL INTRO: I share advice & information about being a successful single mom by choice, having donor conceived children, foster care, family size & age gaps, respectful discipline, & parenting tips to help you build your own best family. I launched the Ask AMY channel in 2018 because I want you to experience something like the (never perfect but often) heavenly family life that I have.. DESTINY CALLS: My cosy corner of the internet started by a total quirk of fate! I am an Australian single mother by choice who unwittingly dropped into 21st century technology by accidentally launching a family channel www.youtube.com/LuckyFortune8Family which now has over 105K subscribers & 52M views.. BACKGROUND: I had an only child for nearly 9 years before giving birth to 4 more children within 2.5 years. In addition to my own 3 sons and 2 daughters which include 2 sets of twins I fostered 20 children over 7 years in 2 states, including same sex twins and sibling groups before my own boy/girl twins were born. Before being formally, medically retired by the Medical Assessment Tribunal (in March 2014), I worked in child care (4 years), created/delivered professional development level courses in behaviour management philosophies & strategies (3 years), plus worked in public schools (2 years), and the child protection sector (8 years). Whilst I am permanently, medically unable to resume my prior profession, I believe my years of raising children plus working with child clients and their families enables me to provide useful, generalised, lived experience information in YouTube’s pre-recorded format..

Crowdfunding has typically been used by artists and start-ups to get funding for projects and business ventures. However, everyday people also are using crowdfunding to raise money, but for personal needs—like medical treatment, IVF, and adoption. You’ve likely participated in crowdfunding in the past, but just not thought of it that way. According to Chapman, IVF fundraising campaigns outpace all other categories except adoption.
With domestic infant adoption also averaging about $50,000 per child, adoption costs are comparable to IVF. That can make the dream of parenthood prohibitively expensive for many infertile couples who may turn to crowdfunding to help turn their hopes into realities. The Haleys believe Landon was America’s first crowdfunded baby. Now, Indiegogo and similar sites like GoFundMe and Fundly regularly feature.
In January 2012, Fortener founded AdoptTogether, the first nonprofit crowdfunding site devoted to adoption. So far, the site has raised $1 million for 300 adoptive families. Whether you’re planning to adopt or start in vitro fertilization, preparing for the journey is essential.

List of related literature:
IVF is a costly therapy not affordable to many couples.
You may find yourselves in a real dilemma: not wanting to commit money you may later need for adoption, but reluctant to give up on egg donation when you now know that you can achieve pregnancy.
Anyway, funds for IVF research are available from private sources.108 And, given IVF’s costs and low success rate, even today few insurance companies cover all expenses for IVF.
Parents who are determined to have their own biological child may seek professional help through expensive procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).
And, unstated but well understood, couples paying out of pocket for IVF may feel financial pressures to avoid multiple expensive IVF cycles by transferring more embryos to increase their chances of success.
Not only parents who have completed their family are motivated to donate an embryo, but also couples who are undergoing infertility treatment and would like to help other infertile couples (Newton et al. 2003).
A private American charity has established a website (https://donorsiblingregistry.com/) that TDI-conceived children as well as sperm and egg donors can use to look for additional information on siblings and donors.

He developed and performed the world's first ovarian transplantation procedures as well as pioneered new ovarian stimulation protocols for embryo and oocyte freezing for breast and endometrial cancer patients.
The hole time watching this video I felt like I was on this journey with you, I cried along with you’ll, thank God for you’ll miracle congratulations and enjoy your lovely journey
My sister had a fellow teacher that had 4 kids. She loved being pregnant but did not want to raise another. Jokingly my sister said be a surrogate. She and her husband looked into it. She had two babies two different times for the same couple.
Just the stress alone from all this would make it hard to become pregnant it seems. I think ppl who do this are amazing I just can’t unless it’s biologically mine.
Step one, for my infertile body, save money by moving to Australia from Seattle haha. j/k My case is more complicated due to heart conditions. So adoption may be best for me overall healthwise. But this info is helpful.
