Help Us Start Our Family Through Fertility Treatments or Adoption
Hi friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,
We’re a young couple — 27 and 28 — living on a small homestead just outside Kansas City with our two dogs, Lincoln and Harper. We love the simple things: spending time outdoors, traveling when we can, and making memories with our close-knit family here in KC — our village.
Our greatest dream is to become parents. Unfortunately, due to a medical condition, the path to building our family looks very different than we imagined.
As a teenager, I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor that required brain surgery. While we’re so thankful for my health today, the lasting impact of that condition has meant infertility and that traditional IVF is not an option for us due to extremely low AMH levels (egg reserve).
This has led us to explore alternative paths to parenthood: fertility treatments with embryo adoption, or adoption itself. Both of these are beautiful and hopeful options, but they come with heavy emotional and financial burdens.
That’s why we’re here humbly asking for your help to bring our future child home. Whether through embryo adoption or adoption, the costs quickly add up: medical treatments, legal fees, travel, home studies, and more. We are doing everything we can to prepare emotionally, spiritually, and financially, but we simply can’t do it alone.
Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to holding our baby in our arms. If you can’t give, we completely understand, sharing our story or keeping us in your thoughts and prayers means the world to us.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and support our dream of becoming parents. We truly believe that love makes a family, and with your help, we’ll be able to give all the love we have to a child who needs it.
With love and gratitude,
Laken & Logan
(Lincoln & Harper too )
