This morning when the rules take effect and what they may mean for your kids. And road warrior. Al tackles 13 states in one day on his quest to hit all 50 in a week. Hes made it to the Mighty Mississippi, and its pushing ahead to the Halfway Point, tuesday, november 10, 2015. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to today. Its a tuesday morning. Al has gone through 22 states, trains, planes, automobiles and covered wagons apparently. And were talking boats now. Along the Mighty Mississippi, but thats a big river. Al, exactly where are you . We are at cape gerardo, matt, here along the Mighty Mississippi in one of the fire boats, so we are on the mississippi, and monster monday became part of terrible tuesday because we didnt land here until about until about two hours ago, so weve taken one too many hits with the punchy stick but were ready to go. Which should make for a fun show. I was going to say that might have happened with you yesterday. Lets start with our top story, the republicans running for president gearing up for the debate showtown in milwaukee tonight and all eight candidates have something to prove for the voters. We begin with National Correspondent Peter Alexander. Good morning to you. Reporter you said it. With only eight candidates on the main stage, four on the undercard and three on the sidelines, all together how will this go tonight . We expect to hear more from each candidates. Among the biggest questions, will ben carson need to fend off attacks from donald trump, and how does jeb bush handle the greatest pressure that he has faced yet . For the republicans tonight poses another crucial test. Frontrunner ben carson dismissing growing scrutiny over apparent discrepancies in his life story l. Carsons rivals or even the debate moderators grill him tonight. His chief opponent donald trump is already teeing off, focusing on carsons description of his violent youth. This is the only election in history where youre better off if you stab somebody. What are we coming to. Reporter carsons Business Manager tells nbc news the controversy has lit a fire under the usually calm candidate. I think finally he had an epiphany in real life, that, look, i have got to be ready for these moments. Bring it on. Im ready to fight. Reporter with the economy in focus tonight, trumps challenge, to emphasize substance over style and show how his billionaire Business Savvy would translate to a trump presidency. Marco rubio is gaining ground, but tonight can he put to rest questions about his spending habits while in the Florida Legislature . Tonight could offer a sequel to the last debate showdown between rubio and his former mentor jeb bush. Someone has convinced you that attacking me will help you. Reporter tension between the two underscored by a New York Times report out this morning that allies of bush are privately threatening a wave of scathing attacks on his former protege in the coming weeks. According to the times 100 million Bush Superpac right to rise has filmed a video of rubio as unelectable because of his hard line stance against abortion and his missed senate votes, all signs about how nervous they have become about the bush candidacy. Analysts point out he cant afford another lackluster performance and on the trail hes got a new slogan jeb can fix it and hes showing a different side of his personality. The three questions, better than the moderated debate questions, just saying. Reporter after last months raucous debate on cnbc the moderators tonight from the wall street journal and fox business are promising this one will be a civil affair. Foxs Maria Bartiromo telling the candidates that they should be prepared to answer any question, in her words, its all fair game. Matt and savannah. All right, peter, alexander in milwaukee. Thank you. Nicolle wallace is an msnbc analyst and former White House Communications director for president george w. Bush. Steer karnaky is an msnbc host and political correspondent, folks, nice to see you both. Ben carson is under fire and lashing out at the media saying hes being vetted harder than any other candidate has been. How will it affect his performance tonight . The question has to do with how doed moderators and fellow candidates respond after the criticism with what the debate focusing on too much nonissues. Does it give him an out whether its a moderator or fellow candidate saying this is all beside the point. And donald trump who has lashed out of some of the inconsistencies and buy graphical data aside the other candidates are in a you have to position because they have reaped the benefits of attacking the media. If they attack carson on these stories they are doing for blaming what the media can do. And carson can say to them you are doing the bidding of the liberal media and that could be a devastating comeback for him. Jeb bus, how many times have we sat here together saying jeb bush has to have a good night. Interesting art call in the New York Times saying jeb bushs superpac is ready to throw tens of millions of dollars at attacking marco rubio. Does that say let the superpac do the dirty work, we wont see the bush versus rubio manoamano because it backfired so badly in the last debate. Listen, they do not spend any time in their Campaign Headquarters how to beat ben they spend all the time how to win that establishment lane, how to beat chris christie, governor kasich and marco rubio so their strategic imperative is to top rubio, and at the moment rubio has the momentum coming out of three strong debate performances and feeling as though they have dodged a bullet in the press. You mentioned chris christie. Had one of the best weeks of his Campaign Last week and yet he goes down to the undercard in tonights debate. Hes got to be disappointed by that, but might it not be an opportunity for him to dominate that debate, get a lot of camera time and break out in some way. Exactly. And weve seen this before. Carly fiorina in the first under card debate back in august, got such great reviews it vaulted her back to the main stage. Christie needs to get back to the main stage so there is an established pathway. Forget the National Poll and look at New Hampshire. Hes moved up, quadrupled his support in New Hampshire over the last two months with the town hall meetings. It was what john mccain once did. Trying to follow that path. For better or worse in this cycle, debate moderators have really become part of the story line. If youre fox and youre hosting this debate tonight, fox business, how do you handle that . On the one hand you dont want to subject yourself to the candidates going after you, going after the media, a proven winner for them but on the other hand you dont want to pull your punches. Fox has a special place in the hearts of republicans so they go into it with a lot more goodwill with every one of the single men and women on the stage. Megyn kelly and bret baier, subjected to the same kind of scrutiny that cnn has been and to some extent cnbc has been. I think they will play it straight. No signs that they plan to pull punches and go into it with a lot more trust from the campaign. Guys, thanks very much. Well be watching. Federal Appeals Court has dealt a major new blow to president obamas plan to protect millions of people from being deport the. Nbcs justice correspondent Pete Williams is following this story.

Are each being held on 1 million bond charged with seconddegree murder. Witnesses say that tuesday night few had an argument with his girlfriend outside this bar. Someone called 911.

A lawyer for the few family who has not seen the unreleased body cam video of the incident told nbc news it believes it will show few had his hands up. I feel like they shouldnt have been going after the vehicle in the first place. Reporter typically they serve arrest warrants but there were no outstanding warrants against chris few and no gun found inside his vehicles. Two months ago marksville mayor sent this letter to the state attorney general asking for an opinion about the marshals duties. So far theres been no response. We dont understand why they wanted to duplicate some of the things that were already doing in marksville.

Unbelievable. Now a story that halts attention or will have the attention of parents all across the country. Major new steps being taken to reduce injuries among young soccer players by setting strict new rules on heading the ball. Its one of the staples of soccer, heading the ball. But on monday the u. S. Soccer federation took the bold step of eliminating heading from youth soccer in an effort to reduce the number of concussions. Per the new rules, children 10 and under will be banned from heading the ball during any official session, practice or game. While players ages 11 to 13 will be allowed to head the ball during games only. Mondays announcement comes following a Class Action Lawsuit filed last year by parents and players, charging soccer organizations with negligence in treating and monitoring head injuries. Reaction on social media overnight was mixed. This is why the u. S. Will never be good at soccer. Cant imagine soccer without headers. Even playing a kid. Best time to learn proper technique to prevent concussions. While former u. S. National team player taylor twellman, whose professional career was cut short by a series of concussions, spoke out in favor of the move tweeting cant tell you how emotional i am that progress is being made, and i cant wait to see it come to fruition. And a 14yearold who plays soccer and its really a question of them learning the proper technique but if they cant master at a very young age. Thats the part i dont get. If you dont practice it why would you be permitted to use it in a game. They are saying its the repetitive nature of heading the ball that could be the problem. I can see both sides of this one. Lets go down to where, where is he . Mississippi. On the mississippi. I cant even keep track of where you are, al roker. Do you know where you are . Yeah.

The park announcing next year it will phase out its killer whale shows after years of mounting criticism of seaworlds treatment of orcas in captivity.

Badge, its like giving them the key to your house. Youve entrusted them to access your house and get past all the alarms and locks youve put in place to keep everybody else out. Reporter already happened in, atlanta 2014, police busted a gunsmuggling rig arresting Airline Baggage handlers. Also in atlanta 1,400 security badges missing over two years. In june, news of a 95 failure rate when undercover red teams tried to smuggle mock weapons through tsa checkpoints. And in september undercover agents again found gaping holes in tsa security. A universal disappointing performance by the tsa screening checkpoints. Reporter new tsa chief insists hes on it and the Terror Threat is real. Im very concerned about how complex and dynamic the threat environment is. I think in some respects its the most complex weve seen since 9 11. Reporter anyone who works at an airport must undergo a criminal and terror watch list background check, but while a few airports require all airport workers to go through security screening every day, most do not. There are simply too many workers. And the former tsa chief says too often the agency doesnt hear about airport workers who have had runins with a law. So, for example, somebody gets arrested, that may or may not be made known to the employer or to the fbi which passes to the tsa. Reporter universal agreement, Airport Security could always get better. We should make this point, that while there have been criminal activities on board planes over the years and the tsa has made arrests, theres not been a successful domestic case of terrorism on or affecting a u. S. Airliner on u. S. Soil. The tsa is very proud of that, but it also makes a lot of people very nervous. Guys, back to you. Tom, a sobering story with so much at stake. Tom, thanks.

Lo mein, szechwan chicken, opsticks, soy sauce and you got some fortune cookies. Have a good one. Ah, these small new york apartments. Protect your belongings. Let geico help you they say the bigger they are the harder they fall. That certainly true for famed mississippi trial lawyer Dickie Scruggs who made a name for himself by taking on big tobacco. Special correspondent tom brokaw is here with scruggs remarkable story, a comeback thats really just now unfold willing. Tom, good morning. Reporter Dickie Scruggs at one point had it all, a big airplane, a big how. He had the reputation that all mississipians envied and then he didnt, and heres what happened next. Dick scruggs is be a ole miss football fanatic. And a popular presence at his alma mater. Strolling through the legendary tailgate in the grove. Looking good. Well, so are you. Reporter Holding Court with family and friends in his sky box. Scruggs treasures every game because for a time he wonder federal hed ever be welcomed here again. Once one of the most prominent trial lawyers in the world scruggs became famous and rich for his leading role in taking on big tobacco. His role in that case was immortalized in the film insider where Russell Crowe played whistleblower dr. Jeffrey wigan. Jail. Possibly, yes. Thats one of the possible consequences of you testifying here today. Reporter in the legal world were you a rock star. You took on big tobacco and you made a lot of money. Did you create the Dickie Scruggs environment, and you thought im bulletproof. There was a great deal of hubris and arrogance involved in the way i behaved. I really got way too big for my britches, tom, and i deserved to be to take a fall from that. Reporter writer curtis wilke chronicled that fall. Was there anybody in his heyday in the state of mississippi who was better known or larger than life than Dickie Scruggs . Probably not. Probably no one who had fiercer enemies and for that matter, you know, good friends. Reporter and those enemies turned out in force when scruggs found himself on the other side of the law in a case against Insurance Companies after hurricane katrina. Federal grand jury in mississippi accused him of hiring a lawyer to pay 40,000 in cash to bribe a state court judge. Reporter he fought those judges but eventually pleaded guilty in february 2009. His life as he knew it was over. He would serve six years in federal prison. So you go from the high flying world of Dickie Scruggs, private airplanes and a lot of money and you walk into a prison into an entirely different world. The sound of a steel door closing behind you has a certain finality to it that is both terrifying and sobering. Reporter but it was behind bars that scruggs would write his second act. Scruggs began tutoring inmates working for their geds in a state where onesixth of the population has dropped out of a ged and work skills confirmed. First in all the bad categories and im tired of hearing that and most mississipians are tired of hearing that and by teaching and watching these guys catch on it gave me a new sense of purpose. It gave me a Second Chance really. This is what keeps them in school, the library. Reporter now out of prison scruggs has founded Second Chance mississippi to raise money for adult education, make his mission a reality and crisscrossing the states. What type of credential do they get . Reporter talking to anyone who will hear him out. Theres only about 10 of inmates that can read on a 12th great level and listening to student and educators at community colleges. Can you improve your score the more you practice this. Reporter dick scruggs has borrowed from practicing law again but to many here that doesnt matter. Pastor chris diggs offered ged tutoring at his church, and when he needed help scruggs stepped up. We did not have computers before but now we do because of dick scruggs and Second Chance. For him to reach out to help a small africanamerican church showed me that there was still a lot of good left in him. Reporter its a Second Chance to make a difference, something dick scruggs never thought he would get. By the way, he has some famous friends who are helping him with all this. Went to ole miss, obviously, and hes still very popular there and Archie Manning is one of his close friends. Manning family royalty in mississippi obviously, and he says that in mississippi if you dont have a High School Education, chances are very good youll go to jail. If you do have a High School Education chances are pretty good youll got to jail. Wants to change all that. Mississippi is last in everything when it comes to education, but hes determined to use his fame and what hes learned to change it. He can make a difference. Tom. Like to see a secondage.

The opening of parliament. Yes, i know, and once open the first order of business will be our bill to change the order of secession. If something should befall quine cyrus the kings and the kings children will be unfit to rule. Does the real royal family have as much fun as this royal family . I hope they do and say god i wish that were more in the hair and makeup. We havent gotten feedback about whether they see it but my feeling is that they all watch. Helena is not that nice. I mean, shes conniving. What do you like about her is. I think theres a fine line between heros and villains and my character does villainous thing, evil and plotting and machiavellian and not that nice to her kids, especially in season one. She has her heart in the right place. Loves her family and monarchy and wants it to stay where it is. You used the combination of Princess Diana and joan collins circa dynasty to create her. Which characteristics did you take from her . Princess diana how she was with the people and how she was dressed and how she looked modern an chic and jock joan ma nip life evilness but i have joan collins in it. Plays my mom. Whats it like when she comes on. My life is better when shes on set. When joan is not working i get in my trailer at lunch and get a moldy sandwich and an apple and when joan is there we have a white tablecloth and roasted chicken. Brings class. Some major Unanswered Questions about the plot line in this show so ill fire at them one at a time. Who killed the king . You cant know that yet but we do find out by the end of season two. A big surprise or somebody were already pointing in that direction . I dont want ruin the suspicion, a lot of people under suspicion including myself, including my brotherinlaw who will be the king of england, a lot of suspects, but i think that when it comes out people will be fascinated. The next big question to coin a phrase whos their daddy . Okay. If these kids are not the product of king, who is their dad . That was a terrible thing. I declared my own children illegitimate at end of season one in order to put my brotherinlaw on throne because i can control him. Nice. Its still something thats an ongoing theme a lot of intrigue because i was this love with somebody else for 25 years but at end of season one he has to lie low. My brotherinlaw has ordered a hit on him. And you teased me a second ago when the whole domino thing and domino for those who havent seen the show is some kind mysterious person or entity. It is, and as we progress through season two we realize joan collins part is integral to the scandal and intrigue of a story that goes back 25 years. She really comes to the forefront in season two and shes fab. I mentioned children a second ago. Let me ask you. Youve got at 13yearold son, right . 13. Damien, i have a 14yearold boy. How are you holding up . Well, hes still sweet. I mean, hes definitely going through puberty. His voice has dropped and is taller than me and still sweet right now. Im waiting for the moment where still loves his mom right now. Still loves mommy today. One day at at time. You turned 50 recently. Is that a problem . No, no, no. Am i allow to say that . We just talked to Christie Brinkley who is now 61. How fabulous is she, wow. How do you feel . Do you feel this was a milestone, a nightmare or did you kind of gracefully accept it . Naturally i gracefully accept it but i dont really feel mature enough myself. I feel like i need to step up and be more grown up. Emotionally how are you . About 14. Same as my son.

Thanks for you should be grateful we let you in here out of the rain. All right. Well see. Okay. Something more important, our nations future tonight. The big debate. Republican debate. Fourth debate fox business network, wall street journal, in milwaukee. Great location. Eight candidates on the main stage. Doing the twostage thing. John kasich, jeb bush, marco rubio, donald trump, dr. Ben carson, ted cruz, Carly Fiorina and rand paul. Other debate features chris christie, mike huckabee, bobby jindal and rick santorum, but the man of the hour is certainly ben carson. Hes now leading in a new poll out of south carolina. Mon nmouth poll, has momentum and his story his story basically ration to riches that was the subject of a movie, books, now there are people who are questioning some of the things that he has told over and over, including a story that he stabbed a friend when he was a teenager and that it was that moment and a few others that really pushed him into changing his life. Well, donald trumpnaddreed this at a rally in springfield, illinois, last night. This is a strange election, isnt it . Pan. You stab somebody and the newspapers say you didnt do it and you said, yes, i did, i did it no, you didnt. Yes, i did i stabbed him and it hit the belt. This is the only election in history where youre better off ifsu you stabbed somebody. What are we coming to . Once again, donald trump has crystallized everything. Says how weird is this election . He did. He did. To argue no, in fact, i did stab somebody. Bizarre. Its like the tupacing, really, there was a headline talking about the fact what does this mean . Obviously in the ben carson ory line and how he became this great neurosurgeon it made sense, but now when youre extracting whether or not its important to the political debate and our nations future its interesting. As many people have said, ben carsons entire campaign is on his personal story, on his biography so if you start to pick away at, that for people who support ben carson, the fact he did grow up in poverty and raised himself and became this world renowned neurosurgeon none of that changes but there are these little stories. Absolutely. And the other topic that donald trump has decided to coffee. Sure you saw us talk about it earlier and yesterday. Red. It doesnt have, you know, snow flakes and christmas ornaments and some people have said that this is a war on christmas. Donald trump has now chimed in. One of the most successful starbucks in trump tower. Maybe we should boycott starbucks, i dont know, seriously. I dont care. By the way, thats the end of that lease but who cares, but if i become president e were all going to be saying Merry Christmas again, that i can tell you. That i can tell you. Big takeaway though is of course its the trump tour has one of the highest grossing starbucks in the world. Thats important for us to know. Wow. Okay. We buried the lead. Somethong huge happened yesterday. There i am on twitter, going around and looking at title and ge tting all my music together. Prince, the Music Service title. The great prince, icon prince posts his purple pick of the week and his new song is if eye could get your attention. The i have it actually. And the album art that is untitled. Thats the am bum art for princes new song. Who is that . Thats tamron hall. Who is that . What is the story there . Youre on the cover of princes new jam. Et . From your head to your toes because i want you, baby in the sock. I can get you than shall we make a link between the album art and and the lyrics, or no . How did that happen . He just was going down twitter and saw a picture of you from the album. Thats not a picture from my twitter account. Thats a private picture. Oh, oh. Yeah. Its a private picture. That i sent to prince. You sent that to prince. Not unsolicited. No. You know, were friends, and prince loves willie, loves willie and actually wants you to play in his band. What does he want you to say . Triangle. Wants willie to play drums. Drums, yeah. So prince and my mother are the only two people i really talk to about what i might wear or things im debating, so i usually send him a picture in the morning. Do you really . Yeah, i do. Thats we need just to unpack that a little bit. So every morning a picture goes to prince and you say thumbs up, thumbs down and prince, a great icon. He says your eyebrows, fill them in a little more. He likes when my hair is a little shorter with the bangs. Hes very clear about what he likes our audience is mortified, im so sorry. This is a true story, and i panic because my mother is watching and she probably doesnt know all of this and now you do. Thats incredible. But you are on the cover on the title. Im on the cover. Good shot. If eye i could get your attention. You have to perform on the show, prince. Ive outed my whole personal no. You dont. You dont play. I dont play any instruments. Is that a problem . Come on, prince, got to perform on our show. I have more questions about the morning routine but weve got to get to dylan dreyer who has been waiting patiently. Heres tamrons world, my world, like miles apart. You have a husband who loves you dearly. I love my husband but its not prince. Im not texting prince in the morning. Different world. Lets take a look at weather going on where we have very cold air working in behind the cold front. Ahead of it its very warm and humid that. Clash will produce stronger storms later on today, especially as we go into this afternoon its looking like we could see the threat of some hail, damage willing wind gusts and also some isolated tornadoes that could be very strong, i especially in and around iowa, moving through the western great lakes. Its in this area in original right through here, southeastern missouri where we could the headlines, the obvious one for today, rain on and off. It will be a breezy umbrella indeed. Later this afternoon. A brief break in the unsettled weather for tomorrow. Should dry out in time for the parade. Showers return on thursday. For today, windy conditions at times and damp at times too. 60, 61 tomorrow. Early morning showers. Thursday thursday. Back to sunshine and cool, crisp weather as we head into the weekend. Sending our morning self toe prince. Just our morning selfie.

Thats why our craftsmen season every sausage perfectly. So you can coax out great flavor effortlessly. Hillshire farm. Because its worth doing right.

Thats why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday. Polidents unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99. 99 of odor causing bacteria. For a cleaner, fresher, how you doing . Hey how are you . Where are we watching the game . Youll see. I think my boys have a shot this year. Yeah, especially with this new offense were running. I mean, our running back is a beast. Once he hits the hole and breaks through the secondary, oh hes gone. And our linebackers and dbs dish out punishment, and never quit. You didnt expect this did you . No i didnt. The nissan altima. Theres a fun side to every drive. Nissan. Innovation that excites. Actor, writer, producer and starred in a number of films, you know him from the Academy Award winning film a Beautiful Mind and silas in the Box Office Smash da vinci code and more recently the vision of the second avengers movie. And now hes stepping behind the camera to direct the new film shelter about two Homeless People who fall in love starring his wife and actress. You have pressing questions. Tuesdays trend, are you getting an ambush makeover . Im a little nervous about the whole thing. What are you going to do . Just hold on, hold on to your scarf. I never do glitter before 8 00. Wonderful movie. What you do do is make incredible films. Youre a director, this is your debut as a director. Yes. Oh, it stars your wife and anthony maki. Explain the background, the i understand is something right outside your doorstep. Well, what i wanted to make a film that was about judgment because the world i live in is full of gray area, increasing gray area and yet we as a culture seem to be getting more and more entrenched in black and white positions so thats what i wanted to do. At the same time i was thinking about Hurricane Sandy happened and there had been this couple that lived outside of my apartment, black man and white woman, she was blond, and and after Hurricane Sandy i didnt see them anymore and they had become part of my daily life. On the school run, the kids would say hello, would i say hello and then im ashamed to z say even before sandy i stopped seeing them. Somehow their poverty became more and more acceptable to me and more and more unusual and they just became part of the landscape of the city in which i live. And i i felt shame surrounding that so i had an impulse to write and i thought that those two things might be interested to talk about because, you know, i think our response to homelessness is puzzling. Its so interesting that you have the personal journey which you just told us and the professional journey in this which includes your wife and Anthony Mackey, a friend of ours from the show as well. The casting, how critical was it to have her and anthony in the film . One the things i noticed as a first time filmmaker if youre making a film about a nigerian muslim immigrant and a junkie street prostitute people dont want to shower you with money, so so it helped if you have an oscar winner lying around the house and i did and that helped me get Anthony Mackey to say yes, so, you know, it was the casting is incredibly important when youre trying to make a film of this nature. Do you think being a director now will make you a better actor . Do you understand things about the process that you didnt before . Well, i will never ask a director a difficult question is the sun going down every day . There you go. My wife would ask me questions as the sun was going down and i would see a big clock in front of her face. I love it. Ticking. Well, paul, always great to talk to you.

Justin chapel host of requested food wine here with some easy egg tips. Lets start with peeling an egg. Can be difficult because it has a thin skin between the egg white and well. Take a skin and you have to peel it without cutting into the hard boiled egg. Just like that. Genius hack. And you wipe off these extra shells. Cutting up the eggs if youre making an egg salad sandwich. Go ahead and take an egg. Put it on top of a baking rack. Take a small plate. Oh, my gosh. And keep on going and from this point mix in your mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar and get the awesome perfectly diced eggs. Genius trick. Another genius trick and what were doing is poaching some omelettes. Omelette in a bag. Beaten eggs, add whatever you like, cheese, ham, bacon. I like to go simple and at this point youll seal it up, press out the air and youll poach it in simmering water five to seven minutes until its just set. Put it right in the water. Makes sure its bpafree and most major brands are these days and slide it out and chuck it out. How long, five, seven minutes, barely simmering water. I love the like look of this one, classic egg in a hole. This is challah bread and youre going to take your cutter and cut out some rounds just like that and we have them here because the best part you get to the crack the eggs into the little cutouts that youve got. Just like that. Go ahead. And whats the most from there . Season with salt and pepper and pop tim into a 375degree oven for ten minute and you get this beautiful, beautiful breakfast, lunch, dinner, whatever you want.

Millions of people around the world struggle winter tilt. It can be a devastating diagnosis, emotionally and financially for couples trying to conceive. So one woman is trying to help couples turn their wish of becoming parents into a reality. Nicole lawson always dreamed of being a mom. She met the love of her life josh at 18. Was married at 25 and soon they were ready to start a family. The thought of us having children was always something that was so important to us. But like so many couples infertility stood in their way. When you want a baby, its the one thing that you cant control, and thats whats so frustrating. It was an emotional roller coaster for everyone, including nicoles mom pamela. I could remember her calling and saying theres no heartbeat anymore, after she became pregnant. After four years of per filth treatments and three miscarriages, pamela suggested another route. I remember my mom saying i cant see you go through this anymore, like theres something called surrogacy, were going to get a surrogate. Doctors agreed surrogacy was her only option but it was an option they couldnt afford. We worked really hard for what we had, but we didnt have 100,000 to go get a surrogate. Thankfully pamela was able to help financially. First with her daughter nicole who is now a mom of two. They are the most beautiful Million Dollar babies. And now with baby quest, a nonprofit she founded that gives financial reproductive assistance to those who cant afford it. We generally get several hundred applicants twice a year. Several doctors like reproductive endocrinologist mark kaylin serve on the board. Goes a long way for people who are really, really deserving and desperate to have a child so we need to make desys based on their need and their stories. In the last three years baby quest has provided 381 grants and brought 16 babies into the world with seven more on the way. Im expecting twins. I mean, thats a miracle in itself. Sleepless nights, they are so worth it. One young couple spent their life savings on fertility treatment because their Insurance Company wouldnt cover the cost. After a year of not getting pregnant we decided to the move in with my parents and we have been here for four years because weve not gotten our miracle yet. But thanks to a 14,000 baby quest donation they have been able to afford ivf and they have not given up hope that one day they will become parents. Money shunned stand in the way of having subhaving a child. Thats what it comes down to. And to know weve helped fulfill a dream of theirs has been truly rewarding.
