Share your Story

Click on the picture above to link to where you can start sharing.

After four years of struggling with Infertility my husband and I did on IUI Fertility Treatment Cycle. We conceived twins but had them three months premature. I wanted to share our story as well provide information about infertility as well as what to expect in the NICU when a child/children are born permaturely. I spent four years writing my book A Pinky Promise so families have a personal view on dealing with infertility and permature birth.




Does your child have a disability?


Troy one of our twins has Diplegia, a form of Cerebral Palsey

Maybe your child does not have CP, maybe they have Down Syndrome or MS or Spinabifida. If you email me I will put your information on here so other families have a connection to what you are going through.

ABOVE YOU CAN SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR YOUR CHILD/REN
I invite you to share the expereinces you have had with your child/ren as well. I want to share your pictures and story so other parents can view what is out there.
Your child could have a disability, cancer, behavioural, Down Syndrom, the list goes on. All are welcome.
Maybe you went somewhere for treatment that someone else does not know about.

          
As your stories come in I will list them here regarding what they are, people can then read about what you did, where you went or if you have any questions for others.
Example:
Read about Dolphin Experience
Read about Horse back Riding
Read about trip to Disney
etc.

A dad who would like to share or ask? Daddy's Page






Do want to ask questions of other parents?

Do you have ideas to share?
Do you want your personal page as a link?
Do you have web pages you would like to pass on?

To email any suggestions or questions about your child/chlidren as well about this web page please click here


I designed my web page as a place for all of us to share our stories. A place to offer support by either sharing stories or asking questions and getting real answers or in some cases post suggestions for others.

You may prefer to write about your story rather than talk to people in person. As you read other stories it is comforting knowing you are not the only one out going through a smiliar situation.

I am designing a page dedicated to dads.

If you are a family member or friend looking for quidance or lend some advice please find the page for you.

If you would like to have your story posted on here please click on the picture of Troy and Scott sitting in their chairs below.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO ONE THING THIS SITE WILL BE BASED ON. ONCE PEOPLE START SHARING IT WILL BE A PLACE THAT NO MATTER WHAT A CHILD IS GOING THROUGH YOU CAN LOOK HERE
