Hey everyone,

This isn’t something we ever thought we’d be sharing like this.

For the past two years, Bailey and I have been walking through infertility. In a lot of ways, it’s felt like being stuck in the unknown: trying, hoping, waiting, and not really having clear answers.

A couple of weeks ago, we finally got clarity… but it wasn’t the kind we were hoping for. We were told we have a 0% chance of having biological children.

That moment was heavy. There’s been a lot of grief, a lot of questions, and honestly, just trying to figure out what life looks like now.

But even in all of that, one thing hasn’t changed:

We still really want to be parents.

After a lot of conversations (and a lot of emotions), we’ve decided to move forward with embryo adoption. It’s something we didn’t know much about before, but it gives us the chance for Bailey to carry a pregnancy and for us to grow our family in a really meaningful way.

We’re hopeful, but if we’re being honest, it’s also overwhelming.

Even though embryo adoption is less expensive than traditional adoption, it still comes with a lot of costs, medical procedures, medications, and everything that comes with pregnancy and delivery. It adds up quickly, and it’s more than we can handle on our own.

Sharing this is honestly a little uncomfortable for us. We’re not used to asking for help like this. But we also know we have an incredible community around us, and we don’t want to walk this alone.

If you feel led to support us, whether that’s giving, sharing this, or praying for us, we would be so grateful.

We’re really hopeful about this next step. And we’re thankful for every person who’s part of our lives as we walk into it.
