The Group has taken on the direction of fertility support and we’ve invited Sonia’s long time friend Brittney Glover Fratus to help us moderate it as our Fertility Support Group Manager; with the hope that someday soon we’ll be able to do some in person fertility support meetups in New England with Brittney and ourselves! We already have two fun spots on the list of locations to meetup! So please, join us on the Geriatric Mamas Facebook Group and feel free to post your fertility questions in there or inspiration for those who are still on their journey to their miracle baby, and stay tuned for future in-person meetup announcements!

Have Your Journey to Motherhood Featured on the ‘Geriatric’ Mamas Podcast!
So many women have kept their fertility struggles a secret, and endured their pain alone. It doesn’t need to feel so isolating.
If you or someone you know is 35+ and struggled with fertility, experienced heartbreaking fostering or adoption challenges, endured a miscarriage, or were perhaps flat out told by a doctor that you will never conceive naturally, and eventually found your happy ending by becoming a mama, your story could be what keeps another woman going on her journey to her miracle baby!
Send us your story and it could be featured on the next HOPEisode!
We now also want to hear about your ‘crusty ovaries’ and ‘moldy eggs’!
