Dear Donor Family,

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We are devoted partners, proud parents to a spirited 4-year-old daughter, and loving dog parents to two loyal pups. As hopeful recipients in the embryo adoption process, we approach this journey with deep humility, compassion, and an unwavering sense of purpose. We are incredibly grateful for the chance to introduce ourselves. We met near the end of the COVID pandemic, and our connection blossomed quickly through shared adventures—kayaking trips, local breweries, and spontaneous weekend getaways. Our love for exploration soon led us to the greatest adventure of all, parenthood. In May 2021, we welcomed our daughter into the world. She has filled our lives with laughter, curiosity, and boundless love, and she has deepened our longing to grow our family.

Our path to expanding that family has been marked by both hope and heartache. After months of trying to conceive naturally, we turned to fertility treatments. Over the course of three years, we experienced three failed IUIs, three unsuccessful IVF cycles, and multiple miscarriages. Each loss was profoundly painful. Yet, through every moment of grief, we held onto hope—and onto each other. We knew, in our hearts, that another path to parenthood was possible.

These experiences have only strengthened our bond—as partners and as parents. We’ve faced every appointment, setback, and sorrow hand in hand, grieving and healing together. Our journey has deepened our gratitude for the miracle of life and our appreciation for the extraordinary gift of family.

Professionally, both of us have dedicated our lives to service and leadership. I work as the Director of Financial Planning & Analysis at a major airport, where I focus on strategic initiatives and operational excellence. My partner is the Associate Director of Special Education for a charter school network, where she passionately advocates for inclusive education and supports students with diverse needs. Our careers reflect our shared values of empathy, commitment, and impact—and they allow us the flexibility to be present and engaged as parents.

As a family, we cherish time together. You’ll often find us outdoors—at the playground, trampoline park, swim lessons, or exploring the beach and mountains. Whenever we can, our dogs join the adventure. These shared experiences are the heartbeat of our home. We’re also deeply fortunate to have the unwavering support of both sets of grandparents, a large extended family, and a close-knit circle of friends who feel like family. We truly have a village.

We strive to raise our daughter in a home filled with love, understanding, and respect. We foster open  communication,  teach  through  connection,  and advocate fiercely for her well-being. Our greatest hope is to offer the same nurturing environment to another child—a home where they are seen, supported, and celebrated for exactly who they are.

Thank you for considering us. We can only imagine the depth of love and courage it takes to make this decision, and we honor the profound gift you are considering sharing. Please know that, should

we be chosen, your gift would be treasured with the deepest respect, gratitude, and care—for a lifetime.

With warmth and hope.
