---

feel good about doing it.

I don't like pitting these

people against each other.

Next is Athena Reich.

Hi, my name is Athena.

I came out as a

lesbian as

a teenager.

I told my mother.

She was very

accepting.

She said the only

thing that makes

me sad

is I always

pictured you having

a family,

and children.

And I said, mom--

I was 17 at the time--

I said, mom, that's

not changing.

I've always wanted children,

and me being lesbian

is not going to change that.

So--

Even when she was

talking about coming out,

and even then, one of the

first things that came up

is are you gonna have children.

And I thought that she

brought up a really good point.

She's taking an

action step, instead

of waiting for a partner,

which she hasn't found yet.

She wants kids, and she knows

it, so she's gonna go for it.

All right,

so we're gonna move on.

Brian and Ann Johnson.

--it goes to waste.

Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home.

And ignite your--

OK, our notes on them.

We know what happened

on their first IVF.

And they were foster parents

for two girls for a year,

and they had to give them back.

So--

Do you know their ages?

Yes.

33 and 35.

So they're still young, yeah.

What I was most impressed

about was that they persevered.

And having gone through

a failed adoption,

I understand that

those feelings can be

very similar to an actual loss.

All right,

Dagoberto and Rosalinda.

Life ran

past us, until one day.

This is the story of a girl

and a boy who found each other,

and would now love nothing

more than to grow their family.

Dago would like to teach

him or her all about cars,

and share his vast

Star Trek collection.

For us it has been four IVFs

and two frozen embryo transfers.

So I think you guys

remember this one.

- Yeah.

- Yes.

OK.

All right.

The notes that I have on them.

He's the manager for

a Catholic TV station.

She's an accountant.

He's what?

He's what?

A manager for

a Catholic TV station.

For them to step

forward, with his job,

is incredibly courageous.

And actually could

jeopardize his job.

How many of

the IVFs did they do?

Two?

Four IVFs, two FETs.

I mean, I really,

really like them a lot.

I thought their story

was really well done.

My only concern is, I mean,

they've done a lot, a lot,

a lot.

This is not like they've done

a couple of Clomid cycles,

and I'm just--

- I don't know.

It's tough.

You want to pick somebody

that's got a good story

that has the financial need.

But also, that has the

best chance of success.

OK, on that note,

I think we are gonna vote.

As horrendous a word as that is.

OK.

This is like Sophie's Choice.
