Born in Bolton in Lancashire on 19/05/1987 at the age of 4 I moved to Herefordshire with my parents to a lovely little village called Holme Lacy where I spent many a happy year growing up and playing in the surrounding country side . Now a few years later and after failing my GCSE I got stuck working in one of my local supermarkets Morrisons but it wasn’t all bad , while training to become a butcher I met the love of my life the woman who was to become my soul mate , Emma , and instantly fell in love but things weren't as simple as they first looked , she was involved and already had a child , called Andrew . I had never been involved in a relationship where there was already a child present I have to admit I was a bit worried how he would react to me when I eventually met him . We had our first date on Boxing day 2005 and this is when Emma told me about Andrew and the now ex boyfriend. ,Things were not as bad as they seamed because she told me she was not happy in the relationship she was in and she told me that she felt the same way about me as I did for her , she was every thing I had ever dreamed of . The day came when I eventually met Andrew and to my surprise we got on great and things between me and Emma just got better and better . There was just one thing that niggled away at us we wanted to have a child of our own but there was a problem. Emma had told me from day one that she had had 2 Ectopic pregnancies and had had to have both Fallopian tubes removed I knew what this meant but I loved Emma and that’s all that mattered to me. I tried to put it to the back of my mind but the more time I spent with Andrew the more I wanted to have a child of our own. About 6-8 months after we got together we moved in together with Andrew and things have never been better, but for me there is one thing missing from my life stopping it from being complete and that is not having a child of my own. As we said on our home page there is no way we can afford to have I.V.F. treatment and this is where I ask for your help if you can spare even just a penny please visit our funding plea page and help us make a dream come true.
