Full ABCnews Documentary

The full documentary that was filmed by abc news was released in April 2019.

It was so great!!!

While it was really hard to watch myself on camera especially during the most difficult time of my life, it was worth it to bring awareness to infertility and all that us warriors go through.

Check out our story and 3 other families as we fight the fight for our babies.

Its called Modern Baby, you can watch online or Hulu.

ABC Nightline

So one piece of our story that I haven’t publicly shared is that Chris, Brian and I are part of a documentary filmed by the digital abc news crew. We were never really sure what it would lead to so we didn’t share much except with close friends/family.

Well it appears that the time has finally come, ABC Nightline covered the story on their show on March 28th 2019. This is a 30 minute show, doing a much shortened version of our story as well as other families going through the struggle of IVF. The full documentary will be released at a later time.

When I decided to share my very personal struggle with all of you through my blog it was very much for me and to help the people around us understand our struggle. To my surprise, people became involved, people truly reached out to me, encouraged me and asked me to continue sharing our story. Along the away it became about awareness for myself, others struggling and the world of IVF, which has had its stigmas over the years. I made it personal for people instead of a “science project”.

So when we were presented with the idea of sharing our story to an even more public audience we decided this must be part of our path, a way to give our journey and even bigger purpose. It was difficult to share really hard times on film, but I’m also so proud that we were chosen to tell our story and help the world see what families are struggling with behind closed doors.

You can watch this episode (Modern Baby) on demand by clicking the link below or stream it on Hulu (under the TV show Nightline, episode called Modern Baby).
