Hey there! We are Adrian and Rebekuh: Two completely imperfect people who found the perfect love in one-another. From go, we made a connection that has seen us through it all. We've combated poverty, opened a business, sought higher education, and adopted a dog (in additionto one Rebekuh had prior to the relationship). From the outside looking in, our history seems perfect. Reality, however, is that every 3 steps forward are followed by 2 steps back. 3 years into our fairytale, Rebekuh was diagnosed with uterine cancer, at 28 years old. After surviving severe domestic violence, overcoming PTSD, and rising from those blackened ashes, the permanent infertility left in the wake of cancer has been Rebekuh's greatest pain. Thankfully, July of last yesr marked 3 years cancer-free and the doctors have assured us there's a very low likelylihood recurrence should darken our path Despite the inability to carry a child of our own, we remain hopeful that a gestational surrogate will carry one of our frozen embryos (who we call "Maybe Babies,"). With her help, we have the chance to fill our home with the warmth and laughter of a family. If you are able to donate, we would be eternally grateful, and all funds would go directly to the process of gestational surrogacy, through a reputable agency helping in this process. If unable to donate, please send us your best wishes and/or prayers, and thank you for taking the time to read our story. We appreciate you!
