Erica Walther Schlaefer and her husband, A.J. Schlaefer, adopted their son, born in Korea, in 2008. Almost immediately they began to share the gift of family with others who have struggled with infertility.

They know what it's like to endure years of infertility treatments, characterized by needles and bruises and pain and, finally, disappointment.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
