About Cheri Bergeron
Like many women focused on their careers, Cheri’s journey to motherhood began in her late thirties. It was not an easy one. It still isn’t.
Women who seek to build a family later in life experience perils that are rarely talked about. Cheri was no exception. She experienced foster parenting, fertility treatments, genetic defects, painful loss, premature birth, and a divorce filled with conflict over child custody.
We want Cheri to know she is not alone. She can’t speak out due to the sensitivity of her legal case, but we don’t have to stay quiet.
We’re speaking out so Cheri’s story of triumph over adversity to build a family on her own will empower women to listen to their inner voices and find the courage to also build the family of their dreams — even if they don’t have a man in their life.
We’re speaking out because her painful experiences should become wisdom that can be shared, so women will be equipped to better navigate the obstacles she’s faced, especially as a single mother.
We’re speaking out so Cheri’s story will be an an inspiration grounded in faith, because God helped her build the family He wanted her to have.
Lastly, Cheri’s story is a call to arms. There is a bias and lack of tolerance in our court system that seeks to judge and marginalize single mothers. The need for change is overdue. Let’s help Cheri and fight to change our laws to fit definition of families like hers.
We hope you’ll support Cheri’s choice.
