Beth Dokovic, Treasurer
Beth and her husband began trying to have a family in 2010. After two years of fertility treatments, Beth got pregnant with her son. They then decided that they would like to adopt and began attending the IAS adoption support group meetings. These meetings provided them with support and information to begin the adoption process. An added bonus is the friends they have met in these meetings. In March 2014 they adopted their son. They are now proud parents to two beautiful sons. Read Beth’s story »
Julie Fox, Secretary
Julie and Carl got married later in life and started trying to have a family a few months later. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful and they were referred to an infertility specialist. After having testing done, they were told that their chances to conceive naturally were very slim and IVF was their only option. Julie and Carl chose not to pursue IVF and started researching adoption. IAS was suggested to them and from the very first meeting they attended, it quickly became the best resource to help them on their journey. The wealth of information, knowledge of group members and compassion shared was above and beyond their expectations. Thanks to all they learned, Carl and Julie now have one son through Domestic Infant Adoption. Read Julie’s Story >>
