Help us complete the Zoch family with IVF

We are Justin and Jael, and we're embarking on a deeply personal journey to grow our family through the miracle of IVF and embryo adoption. Let us share a bit of our story with you. Back in 2019, Jael faced a challenging battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The intensive chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant that saved her life, also left her unable to conceive. However, this never dimmed her dream of becoming a mother. In 2020, fate brought us together, and we started a beautiful chapter of our lives as a couple. From the outset, we both cherished the dream of parenthood, knowing that our path would be unique. Justin, with a mother who was adopted, has always held a special place in his heart for adoption. Similarly, Jael had nurtured the dream of adopting since she was 19. Despite these deep-seated feelings, we explored various avenues, including a consultation with a fertility clinic in Texas that was quickly dismissed. Knowing we were moving from Texas to Delaware, we put these plans on hold, waiting for the right moment in our new home. In the fall of 2023, our journey took a decisive turn. We reached out to the Delaware Institute of Reproductive Medicine, where we found a team eager to help us realize our dream. The diagnostics confirmed our suspicions about Jael's infertility but also brought an unexpected gift of hope: Jael CAN become pregnant through embryo adoption. This is what was intended all along—a chance to adopt and experience the joy of pregnancy. Now, we reach out to you with open hearts. The road ahead is financially daunting, as our insurance does not cover these procedures, and we are funding this dream out of pocket. We believe with all our hearts that this is our path, but we need a little help to walk it. If you feel moved to support our journey, we would be profoundly grateful for any donation. Your contribution would bring us closer to obtaining our dream of a family. If you're unable to donate, we would cherish your thoughts and prayers as we embark on this exciting chapter of expanding our family. “For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him:” – 1 Samuel 1:27 With love and hope, Justin and Jael
