FERTILITY CHALLENGES
Struggling to get pregnant or maintaining a pregnancy can feel like riding a roller coaster. Each month, so much weighs on whether you achieve your hopes of having a baby. This is true whether trying to conceive or while pregnant hoping you make it to the end with that much anticipated baby in your arms. Infertility can be a lonely and frustrating struggle.
Often you can have feelings of jealousy when you hear of friends around you who are pregnant or just had a baby. The people close to you may not know how to show support. Missing GRACE Foundation can be that safe place to express your feelings concerning your struggle to have a baby. We offer a listening ear as well as provide practical resources to help you as you make decisions about fertility care.

Natural Procreative Technology is a new women’s health science that monitors and maintains a woman’s reproductive and gynecological health. It provides medical and surgical treatments that cooperate completely with the reproductive system. This is the first women’s health science to network family planning with reproductive health monitoring and maintenance. It is a fertility-care based medical approach rather than a fertility-control approach to family planning and gynecological health. NaPro TECHNOLOGY uses the Creighton Model FertilityCare System biomarkers to monitor easily and objectively the occurrence of various hormonal events during the menstrual cycle. NaProtracking provides valid information that can be interpreted by a woman and by physicians who are specifically trained in this system.
Unlike common suppressive or destructive approaches, NaProTECHNOLOGY works cooperatively with the procreative and gynecologic systems. When these systems function abnormally, NaProTECHNOLOGY identifies the problems and cooperates with the menstrual and fertility cycles that correct the condition, maintain the human ecology, and sustain the procreative potential. Women now have an opportunity to know and understand the causes of the symptoms from which they suffer.
ADOPTION
Are you pursuing adoption? Missing GRACE Foundation can be of help to you in offering support during the process. We would like to help connect you with other adoptive parents who can listen, offer suggestions and share their experience and knowledge with you. Contact us so we can help make that connection for you.
Have you perhaps experienced a failed adoption? We are deeply sorry and we want you to know that you are not alone. The hopes you had for raising your much planned for child have disappeared. You have experienced a loss of a child because they are not a part of your life. The roller coaster of emotions is so hard. Deciding what to do next can be daunting and it's easy to feel stuck or trapped. We have been there and know this pain. It's okay to take a break from it all and invest in you and your own wellbeing and the wellbeing of your marriage.
Have you already experienced grief either through infertility or through having a pregnancy loss or did the baby you were going to adopt die during the pregnancy? That's so incredibly sad and painful. Trying to build your dream family has been filled with layers of hurt and disappointment. We want to help you heal from the pain and offer resources that will give you hope and comfort. We are available to help. Contact us today.
