Dear Potential Donor,

First, thank you for taking the time to read our letter. We know that choosing to become an embryo donor is an incredibly personal and generous decision, and we want you to know how deeply we respect and admire your courage, compassion, and the hope you offer families like ours.

We are D. and A. — a couple in our 40s/50s, respectively, who have known each other for over 15 years and have been together as partners for the past two. Our relationship is grounded in a deep, enduring friendship and built on trust, laughter, and shared life experience. When we finally came together as a couple, it felt like the missing pieces had fallen into place — like we had truly found our person. That bond has only grown stronger through the seasons of life we’ve shared.

Between us, we are already the proud parents of seven wonderful children. [His name] has two sons, ages 21 and 19. [Her name] has five children: two sons, ages 19 and 18, and three daughters, ages 16, 14, and 9. Our children are kind, bright, funny, and full of life. They are athletes, artists, adventurers, and dreamers — each with their own unique strengths and spirit. Watching them grow, supporting their journeys, and celebrating who they are becoming has been one of the greatest joys of our lives.

Being parents has shaped who we are in the deepest ways. Our home is one filled with laughter, learning, and a whole lot of love. Whether it’s cheering from the sidelines at a soccer game, helping with late-night school projects, or planning family camping trips, we treasure the big and small moments of family life. These experiences have only deepened our desire to grow our family and to share the love we have with another child.

Family, for us, is not just about biology — it’s about connection, support, and the values we pass on. At the core of our life together are the principles we both live by: kindness, honesty, respect, resilience, and unconditional love. We are committed to raising children who are curious, empathetic, and grounded — who know that they are deeply loved and supported, no matter what life brings. We believe in creating a home where laughter is encouraged, mistakes are met with understanding, and everyone feels safe, seen, and valued.

A little over a year ago, we were overjoyed to learn we were expecting a child together. The excitement and hope we felt during that time were profound. Tragically, our pregnancy ended in miscarriage — a loss that broke our hearts but also brought us even closer. It deepened our commitment to growing our family and reaffirmed our belief that love, not just genetics, is what makes a family whole.

We are now reaching out on this path with open hearts and strong hands, ready to offer a stable, loving, and nurturing home to a child. [His name] is a lifelong farmer — a man of great patience and integrity, who takes pride in working the land. His days are filled with caring for the earth, and his connection to nature has given him a quiet strength and a grounded perspective that he hopes to continue to pass on.

[Her name] has built a successful career in management, leading teams and building systems with care, insight, and resilience. Her experience in the professional world has provided not only financial stability but also a deep sense of confidence, responsibility, and the ability to nurture growth — both in people and in life. Coming to this point in life a little later has given us both time to build a strong foundation, both emotionally and financially, to support a child in every possible way.

We recognize that we may not be the youngest couple on this journey — but we bring something equally powerful: experience, maturity, a deep appreciation for life, and the stability that comes with it. We’ve created a life full of love, support, and readiness, and we’re prepared to welcome a child into a world where they will be cherished beyond words.

If you choose to help us grow our family, please know your gift will be honored not only by us, but by the life you help create. Your decision would be a legacy of hope, love, and possibility — and it will never be taken for granted.

With heartfelt gratitude,
