2009 Winner

“The Bumpy Road”
The Cantos family and their little miracles, Caitlin, Lauren, and Julia; Mission Viejo, CA

Infertility has been such a journey for us. For so many years we told ourselves that it was just our timing that was off. Everyone kept telling us “relax and it will happen.” Well, when it’s not happening, there’s nothing relaxing about it!

“You're Not Alone”
The Gilbert family and their little miracle, Brady;
Mountain View, CA

“Let me start by saying I know this sucks and it’s not fair. It’s not fair that friends, family and co-workers get pregnant so easily while some of us struggle and have to go through so much heartache, ups and downs, and financial strain to realize our dreams of parenthood. But let me tell you, though I wish my journey to parenthood had been easy from the start, now that we have our darling little boy in our lives, the rocky road to get here is a distant memory.”

“Beyond Blessings”
The Tweedy family and their little miracles, Logan and Lorielle;
Menifee, CA

“It is rare that a day will pass by that my heart doesn’t reflect upon the road we traveled called “infertility.” Whether I’m looking into the eyes of our two beautiful children, chatting with a friend, or as my head hits the pillow at night, infertility is never far from my heart. But that is okay… I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
