Автор: Elizabeth Austen

Elizabeth Austen was born and raised in Southern California. She attended parochial school from kindergarten through high school and often incorporated her musical skills into her work with the church. Her desire to raise a family of her own flourished from an early age, and she spent her younger years working with children through teaching and producing plays and musicals. In 2005, Elizabeth graduated from California State University-Northridge with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She currently lives in Northern California with her husband, Zach, and their menagerie of pets. After years of struggling with infertility, Elizabeth went on to birth the 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation Fill Their Arms Inc.—the first fundraising organization for infertility and adoption in the United States. Through her organization she has been able to educate both the fertile and the infertile communities about the causes and struggles of infertility and how best to support a loved one struggling with this disorder. Fill Their Arms has become a source of support and information to many people who are unable to find it anywhere else. And donations have been used to help infertile families pay for efforts toward parenthood that they might not otherwise have been able to afford.
