#43 - Adult with XXY - Jared Pike

Jared Pike is the Husband of Christin Pike who was on our show last week. Jared was diagnosed with Klinefelter syndrome after trying to build a family for many years. After Jared's doctor gave him the news using horrible bedside manner. Jared was very confused and went into a deep dark depression over the idea that he wasn't able to father biological children. Jared talks about the rise to acceptance and enjoying life after diagnosis. After multiple failed IUI sperm donor attempts, Jared and his wife found themselves interested in the foster care system. They recently adopted a baby girl and are looking to build their family up in the near future Jared is a special education teacher currently focusing on 4th, 5th, and 6th graders who need IEP's. We look forward to having him back on the show to talk more about his job and how he can help other boys with XXY who are in special needs programs.
