Did You Know: 1 out of every 8 couples in Iowa have trouble getting pregnant when they are ready to start family building. Regardless of the reason for their infertility, couples who are unable to conceive experience a wide range of challenging emotions which effect their marriage, and their individual mental, emotional and spiritual health. LFS counselors help couples navigate through the many challenges that infertility brings. They are also available when needed to help couples explore the possibility of building their family through adoption. Remind a couple you know who is struggling with infertility of this resource. Your support of LFS ministry makes this possible - thank you! Lutheran Family Services
