The United States of America is known as ” the land of the free.” People more or less, have the freedom to do what they want, even if it’s allowing you to ”win a baby” on a radio show contest.
This couple won the ”Win a baby” contest of a Radio Station in Florida, and became new parents of a baby boy thanks to the show.
The Contest Was Hosted By Florida’s B103.9 In November 2017
”Win a baby” contest is organized by B103.9 radio station in Florida. In November 2017, they offered one woman the chance of wining a free round of in-vitro fertilization (IVF), with all medications’ expenses included.
So the show asked women to send a video explaining why they want to be mothers. They have posted the winning couple’s submission, as well as photos of the new born on their website.
The Show Helped The Couple Start Their Own Family
Krista and Anthony Rivera of Cape Coral, won the contest in 2017. They publicly thanked the contest for giving them the opportunity to become parents for the first time. The Riveras have been fighting infertility, a common issue for a lot of couples.
In fact, according to the American Medical Association, infertility is now considered a disease. Moreover, an IVF nowadays costs roughly $20,000 a cycle. For many couples, they’ll have to take loans in order to afford it.
“Win a Baby” Was Held Again In 2019
Garrett Campbell Rivera, the couple’s first baby was born in August 2019, just a couple of years after the fertilization process began. Both new parents made sure to thank the contest and the radio station for making their dream come true.
Thanks to the successful experience of Krista and Anthony Rivera, the show hit again with a contest earlier this year. The winners this time are called Vy and Chris Nguyen, who are going through infertility as well, and are also hoping to be able to start their family soon.
