Because you’ll never know how badly you want something until you are told that it may not be possible. This week we have joined in the National campaign #FliptheScript and hope that our voices are heard. Our voices represent the hundreds of couples we’ve met over the years. All struggling to have a family, our heart breaks with each story as we hear their infertility struggles. Our hope is that we not only help them complete their family but we too bring awareness to infertility and to the stigmas attached. #NIAW #Buildingfamiliesinc
