​Hello everyone, we're Josh and Aarren Snowney, and we're so excited to share our journey to parenthood with you!

​We've been together for over 15 years, and it was love at first date. We were so excited to finalize our marriage in the summer of 2015 when it finally became federally recognized. Our dream of becoming parents has always been a constant. We recently celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary and with both of us nearing our late 30s and 40s soon approaching, we're so ready to grow our family!

​We've dedicated the first half of our lives to hard work, honesty, and building a successful small business that helps our community and provides stable employment with work/life balance for our team. We've also been diving into turning our home into a homestead, with a large garden and a small fruit orchard, as well as a chicken flock in the works. By creating a more self-sufficient property, we want to raise our child with a deep respect for life. We'll teach them to care for creatures smaller than themselves, appreciate the cycles of nature, and discover the pride that comes from rolling up their sleeves to see their hard work pay off.

​Our greatest dream is to guide our child to be a kind person of integrity, armed with sound morals and values that will allow them to fully enjoy all that life has to offer. We want them to have time to know and build bonds with their grandparents. We can’t wait to fill their world with unconditional love and, of course, a very healthy dose of Dad jokes! We look forward to all the milestones — seeing them take their first steps, walking them into their first day of school, teaching them to drive, and watching them become a great role model for their generation. We're ready to push through this journey and make our family whole. With your help, we can turn these dreams into a reality and fill our home with the sound of a child's laughter.

​The path we've chosen is surrogacy, a beautiful but costly process. This is the life we are so ready to build. We are actively moving forward with our plans, but the costs of surrogacy are a significant challenge. We want to be fully transparent about how your support will help us.

​The funds raised will go directly toward these expenses:

​Estimated Total Cost: $132,700 to $282,350

​This journey is a significant financial commitment for us with some tough hurdles along the way. We are fully committed to handling a sizable portion of these costs as we continue to save, but we cannot do it alone. We are humbly asking our friends, family, and community to help us raise half of the estimated costs.

​The journey to a family often takes a village, and we hope you'll be a part of ours. We'd be grateful for any donation you can offer to help us reach our goal. If you're not able to donate, sharing our story is a huge help. A simple share on social media can make all the difference!

Your love and support mean the world to us. Thank you for being a part of our journey.
