Vegas, Baby Page #2

---

in a very personal manner,

and that takes courage.

There's this kind of shame,

and you feel like a failure.

So for me it was a lot easier

to come out as a lesbian

than it is to come out as

having infertility issues.

I know there's so many stories.

And how can you vote?

I wish I could have put

more into this video for her,

but I just found out

about this last night.

Please vote.

Please vote for us, and

help us fulfil this dream.

- December 20.

- Yes.

Life changing.

Yes.

And we want that

to be our lives.

Thank you.

Check your focus.

All right, stand by.

Going to camera three.

I work for a Catholic

television station.

So for me it was serendipitous

that Dr. Sher was

going to do a video contest.

Because everything I've worked

for my entire life can now

directly help us achieve

our goal in life,

which is to have a child.

The presents.

We gotta put names on them.

In the Mexican culture,

getting married and having kids

is an expectation

that's just kind

of in the ether the whole time.

But my question is,

what does the fox say?

Growing up, you

see these family groups.

And I've always dreamt of

having my own children.

I'm very grateful that the

family is able to get together

and do this every year.

Amen.

When I six years old, we

were living in Mexico,

and we were struck

by a drunk driver.

My two brothers passed away,

and my father passed away.

And I think that's why,

for me, it's so important

to have a biological child.

To hopefully, maybe, get

a glimpse, you know--

well, he looked like grandpa.

All right, it's

time for gifts.

It's time for gifts.

- Ooh!

Oh, what cool outfits.

Time for gifts.

It took me two

and a half years

to save up the money that we

needed for our very first IVF.

Woo!

To Tia Elena.

I'll

be 41 soon, and we

don't have two and a half

years to save up again,

so this is it for us.

All right, Merry

Christmas everyone.

Yay!

My name is Athena Reich.

I'm an actress and

a singer songwriter.

I give music lessons

to kids, and I work

as a Lady Gaga impersonator.

I want your love

and I want your revenge.

You and me could

write a bad romance.

Oh.

I want your love and--

I started wanting kids

since I was a baby.

People would say, what do you

want to be when you grow up?

And I'd say, the first woman to

walk on the moon, and a mommy.

And a firewoman.

And then later, an actress.
