This week Kristina breaks down Alabama's recent IVF decision. We know it has been almost a month at this point since the decision came down, but Amanda and Kristina still felt it was important to bring y'all this information.

A note from Kristina and Amanda: Although this IVF series was unintentional, we believe it has come together beautifully and are so grateful that you all provide us this platform to share information that we believe is vital to our existence as Latinas and as Latinx people existing this complicated world. Our hope is that this series reaches those going through IVF, those who are curious about IVF, and those who l wanting to properly support and care for their loved ones going through IVF. Mucho besos always mis amores.
