We are the Adams Family...Dave, Melinda, Mason and Murphy our dog. We have been married for just over 10 years and think this is our last chance to have a biological child. Melinda and I both own our own business. Business has been a little slow the last couple of years and we are running out of time with Melinda's body clock. So that is why we are here on this web site looking for help with the funding to complete our family. We have worked with UAMS in Little Rock in the past and since then they have shut down. We are looking forward to working with an office in the Dallas area if we get to try again for another child. We thought about just being thankful for having one child. But Mason longs for a sibling to play with or take care of on a regular basis. We have tried to tell Mason that we have tried to have another child, but we were unsuccessful due to the Medical issues Melinda has. This medical issue is called a Hydro blockage. This keeps the egg from getting down the tube. IVF is has been successful for us because Melinda is making great eggs... they just can't get to the oven as an embryo. This process is very expensive and we have had a really hard time saving money because our business has not been that profitable the last couple of years. We live in Fort Smith AR and are members at Grand Ave Baptist Church. God is good...all of the time. Thank you for your help!
