About Us

Hi. We’re Juan & Arienne Martinez. Here's the short version...

We have always talked about wanting a big family; unfortunately, that hasn’t come easy. After 13 years together and 6 years of failed fertility treatments and unlucky medical complications; we are hoping to move forward in our journey via surrogate to carry our embryo(s).

Surrogacy is very expensive (minimum of $70,000 for one round and can be upwards of $150,000 - check out Heartland Surrogacy for the cost breakdown) - it is not covered by insurance. We have depleted our savings getting to this point through IVF with still, no baby. We started Ivory Flamingo to sell positive and empowering apparel as additional income to save for Baby Martinez! 

To read the long version of our story and follow our fundraiser journey to Baby Martinez, check out www.dollarbabyproject.com. 

We can't wait to introduce you to Baby Martinez, someday some way! 

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
