About Cole & Charisma:
Welcome to the official Roll with Cole & Charisma KZfaq channel! Since the start of our relationship we've gotten a lot of questions about our experiences as not only an interracial couple, but an interabled one as well. On this channel you can catch us doing travel and adventure vlogs, challenges, our inclusion series, couple first times, music, and so much more! We started this vlog to bring people into our lives, to answer some questions about how we navigate the world, and hopefully raise awareness surrounding accessibility and dating in a wheelchair. You'll quickly see in our episodes that we're all about inclusion and keeping a great attitude no matter your circumstances, so if that's what you're into, you're in the right place!

My husband and I have been together for 13 years. (We got married when I was 23, he was 27) we struggled with getting pregnant our entire marriage, and always chalked it up to me having pcos and irregular cycles, often times not ovulating. We’ve spoken with fertility specialists twice, and both times I chickened out because of the emotional investment and all the costs involved. I had a fibroid and a polyp removed in 2021 and we had a chemical pregnancy 2 months later. After all this time together, we both pretty much got into this mindset of, “if it’s going to happen, it will happen, and if it doesn’t, we will be ok” and we just stopped preventing and just let life happen Much to our surprise it’s the end of 2023 and we are 17 weeks pregnant with our son. (I’m 36 now, he’s 40) Hoping and praying for you guys.

But, I realise some people struggle to get pregnant no matter the age.

As an adoptee, thank you for recognizing that adoption is not the consolation prize with infertility. We are not back up plans. We are human beings. My adoptive moth3 should have never been a mom. Ever. But she had money, so an adoption agency gave her two babies. Adoption is born in trauma, it CAN be a beautiful thing, but it is the beauty made from ashes. And parents need to understand they are going into a very different journey than getting pregnant. Both can be amazing and beautiful - but they are two separate journeys.

We probably tried for a year naturally, before we became pregnant. It was a tough year because all my siblings were either giving birth or announcing their pregnancy. That was actually very hard for me. When our baby was finally born, he was our world. Six weeks later, our world was shattered...he was diagnosed with a rare medical condition, called neurofibromatosis. On an intelligence test, our boy was in the 95th percentile. He was one of a kind. My one sister said that he responded differently than other children to discipline so as a mother, I should not consider myself on the same page as other mothers trying to figure out discipline issues. He proudly finished school with not one discipline issue against his name. His other aunt said, he just got on with life regardless of the hardships that neurofibromatosis brought his way...taking on one challenge after the other...never giving up. That was his motto...it was in the form of a fridge magnet. Twenty years later, about a month before his 21st birthday, our Heavenly Father called him home after a short battle with cancer. A day before his passing, he determinedly still tried to do things that were almost impossible for him to do. When I encouraged him to take my help, he said that he didn't come this far to give up now. Always being the one who would keep everyone on the straight and narrow path, his cousin said at his memorial service that he had wisdom beyond his years. When we were all coming to terms with a cancer diagnosis, he said that his cancer was actually a blessing in disguise. If God would decide not to heal him, he would have time to prepare himself for eternity. He fought with so much faith, courage and hope. His concerns were always for the family, especially his grandparents when he received bad news...even being concerned for the oncologist who had to deliver such bad news to him. I follow your story, because so much reminds me of my boy...like him, YOU INSPIRE! I was unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer early this year. 2023 Has not been a good year. My boy had such peace in his eyes just before he shut his eyes for the last time. Since that moment, I experienced that peace that the world just cannot give...and it's carrying me through now. Peace, is my wish to you in this time of grief. Peace changes everything! 💙💚💙💚 Stefan's Mama, 4ever21.

I broke my neck in 1979, i was 17. Wow it is been 45 years ago. I still have moments when i can't help but wonder what my life would have been without my injury. Looking back on all that i have accomplished since my injury and all the wonderful moments i have experienced I find it hard to believe that i could have done more even though had to do it with a body that made everything more difficult. I too was an athlete and i miss waxing my buddies on the basketball floor or running down a beach in my bare feet in the sand. Ultimately i have learned these are not the experiences that define us. They simply enhance this life experience. Your bravery and courage is off the charts. You have made me a little ashamed of myself because i could never do what you do. I could never film my struggles and share it with the world. In fact i never talk about it except with my closes friends. When you are in your 60's and you are looking back on your life and your babies have babies and you think about all the wonderful things you have experienced and accomplished in your life you will see that these things you mourn over Ultimately just were not that important. You will be an amazing father and a wonderful example of what a real man really is. You will pass your courage and strength to your children and they too will be amazing. I wish i could meet them. YOU ARE A MONSTER MY FRIEND YOU ARE HUGE AND YOUR INJURY WILL NEVER CHANGE THAT. BE BLESSED !!

My mother and father were married ten long years thinking that they would never have any children. Then, what do you know right out of the blue, I showed up. And, ... 5 years later, my sister! For our parents it was torturous I am sure. My father was a doctor and there was nothing he could do. This was way back there when there was no IVF and all of that. But, I can tell you this. My sister and I have benefited beyond belief just from having parents who had experienced a good amount of life and didn't have any real pressures on them. They had their feet on the ground and knew what was important. They raised us in a Christian home with lots of love and somehow they managed not to spoil us. My sister and I talk very often about how blessed we have been to have had older, settled parents. You never know what's just around the corner or what God's plan is for you. Bless you both!

My great aunt, also an adoptive mom, told me pregnancy lasts 9 months while being a parent lasts a lifetime. Being parents was our heart's desire. Prayers over the years helped us and we were finally able to adopt a newborn baby girl. We enjoy being parents and are now enjoying our roles as grandparents. Your journey is not like any other's. Have faith and ultimately your path will become clear. God bless you both. I will pray for you.😊

Our infertility journey led me to lean on Jesus in ways I had never before. Through prayer and loving others we discovered adoption was not just an option but the path we were destined to take. Our child has filled our hearts and she is the light on our life! We are also on the journey of giving our daughter a balanced life as we get to see the world through Autism/SPD. We signed up for a journey, and the adventures have had its mountains and valleys. Right now I am on a sofa watching her snuggle with her daddy while watching TV, life gets sweeter by the day with her in your lives! I thank God for her life and for our gift!

I’ve messaged you before, the old lady from Dallas who had my twins in 1990 via brand new IVF procedures, a straight-up miracle at that time. Babies are miracles, any way you get them, I must say. I admire you two so much, always the upbeat attitudes on display when I know for a fact that being constantly positive during infertility is impossible. I’ve always said that couples who have experienced this are the only people who can fully empathize with you. You addressed all the common comments that people make when they’re trying to help, but are actually annoying the fool out of you. Anyway, God has His plan. You are waiting on Him. Be strong and know that you have so many pulling for your ultimate happiness!

Oh I agree natural birth is hard. I have experienced adoption, infertility and childbirth. I just want people to understand that adoption is not an easy path. Children who come to your family through adoption come with the life long challenge of trauma and grief. I only make this comment as a way ( hopefully) to educate some people.

​@@susancham6025I'm sorry but that comment was insensitive in a thread about infertility. Are u seriously comparing "hards" or struggles? Giving birth is something they dream of. Adoption has its own very unique challenges and that was the point. Adoption usually happens because people struggle with infertility. Ive never struggled with infertlity but Im not insensitive. This certainly was not the place for that remark.

I absolutely love what you said about adoption. As an adoptive single mom, I can tell you there is nothing easy about it. It should never be a back up plan. Adoption should be the choice you make for your own reasons. The type of adoption you choose should always be the right one for you. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad if you lean toward certain types of adoption over others. I can also tell you it’s great and my daughter is absolutely mine, but you absolutely do what is right for you. If you ultimately decide aunt and uncle life is what you want, then go for it! Best wishes and Merry Christmas!!

@@gloriabowie5629because these kids that have already been through immense trauma are treated like second choices by infertile couples fairly often.

IVF is hugely mentally and physically challenging so its great to take the time to rest, relax and reset. I'm sure you will find a way to successfully expand on your family. Enjoy the holiday season, keep that natural baby making practice up! Thanks for sharing your journey, I know that this must be really hard to talk about. You are correct that adoption isn't a solution for fertility but it is a solution for giving a loving home to a child and just another type of family which is just as loving as biological children. Maybe a mix of natural and adoption is what works for your future family if you want multiple children. You are a great couple and however your family grows is going to result in children having a great home and parents. You do what fits you.

I admire your ability & choice to share such a personal part of your lives… I’ve always had that maternal instinct, have always been great with kids, & we both love children so I never thought in a million years that we wouldn’t be parents. IVF was the only option for us. I worked with someone whose wife became pregnant their 1st time so I was super positive (however I was naive because she was in her 20s and I was almost 37, never became pregnant naturally. I quickly learned that everyone’s circumstances are different). That first failure was devastating. The grief for me was beyond words. But there was a “chance” for it to work & we had the medical benefits. I was determined to have a baby. So IVF became our life. I even took a year off from a demanding job to avoid stress. We did 9 IVF attempts, yes 9. We got pregnant once but never got to that 1st ultrasound to hear the heartbeat. Had another chemical pregnancy at some point and nothing more. To be honest, I probably would have kept going, but I had to think about what I was putting my husband through. He was dealing with this emotionally himself, not to mention my emotions AND he did every one of my injections except for one (I had to do a trigger shot once because he was stuck at work hours away). I was willing to put my body through it but I had to stop at some point. I wish I would have looked into having my eggs frozen in my 20s but I didn’t. So I think it’s great that you guys are looking at options. For us, the next step was donor eggs and our insurance would not cover everything. So we stopped. I’ve had issues being able to share my story because of the grief. Everywhere I went I was reminded that everyone had their own biological kids…going to the store, coworkers baby showers, EVERY holiday was difficult. But a counselor told me that it would take time & the grief would come and go. Thank you for allowing me to share in this comment. Again, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your life with us.

After 8 years of intertility, we've started our adoption process, a tough one that is by no means a solution to infertility, it's a completely different journey we decided to take over because we have the emotional/financial/practical space to raise a child that needs us. In fact, I had to recover from infertility grieving before starting this new process. What an experience! I wish you guys all the best for whatever next journey you take, just be happy and fully enjoy your beautiful life opportunity!

Without intervention it would have been a very near 0% chance it would have happened naturally. As u said yes it can happen to some people but incomparision to all infertility issue couple the amount who do end up pregnant naturally is very very small percentage. You guys are so cute and wish you all the luck and prayers that when you are ready you find your solution.

So glad you are willing to be open to whatever makes sense and leads you to your family goals. Also awesome to take a break. People make suggestions just because they feel for you and want your dreams to come through. You are right that adoption has to be a heart choice not a consolation prize. In a single adoptive mom. I never tried for a bio baby, I just wanted to adopt from the foster system. It is awesome there are many ways to become a family. No one way is best. There are a lot of kiddos in the foster system and those adoptions are not expensive. People mistakenly think adopting kids elsewhere - like out of country) they won't have the same challenges (untrue) and all kids from the foster system have special needs or behavior challenges. Some do just like any adoption scenario (or bio birth ) and there are absolutely added considerations. I am mom to a special needs young man now.... being a mom is amazing. It's such a personal choice and whether embryo adoption, foster system, private infant adoption, using a surrogate and donor embryo and/or sperm,, international adoption....., the bottom line is all kids deserve homes and love and to be wanted so deeply. So whatever one is lead to, is a good choice. Staying without a child is fine too! Do what your heart leads you to do and be open to surprises from any situation. None of it is easy. Kids deserve parents who want them so desperately, we will go the extra miles to become a family. Whatever route you choose that will be a lucky kiddo or kiddos and and you will be blessed to have them.
