I must have missed that part of the Bill of Rights where all people have a right to a family/children
No, it requires that the government treat folks in similar situations the same way. That whole "Equal Protection" thing. (OK, that is in the 14A, not in the Bill of Rights, but I think it is what you were referencing).

It does not specifically mention funding for infertility any more than it specifically mentions the thousands of other specific areas in which the Equal Protection Clause comes into play.

Personally, I don't see any reason for the government to spend tax dollars helping ANYONE have children. But if it chooses to do so, it must do so "equally."

I’m sure your smart enough to know there are certain people that do not pass screening for adoption. Not having a mom in the household should 100% be red flagged as it deprives from the child they are trying to help. We don’t treat pedos and felons the same in the process either.
