If you’ve landed on this page, I don’t think it’s by accident. You likely found your way here because you are lucky enough to know either Melanie or Addison — or maybe even both — and you already know the kind of love, kindness, and goodness they bring into the world.

Let me introduce myself — I’m Molly Greden. As Melanie’s best friend, maid of honor, and resident “veil wrangler” on her wedding day, I’ve had the privilege of walking beside her through some of life’s most joyful moments. And now, I’m honored to stand with her and Addison in what may be the most meaningful chapter yet.

Love isn’t defined by how easy the journey is — it’s revealed in how two people hold each other together through the hardest seasons. For medical reasons, it has been determined that carrying a pregnancy would pose serious risks to Melanie’s health. That reality has been devastating — but it didn’t take away their hope. It simply reshaped it.

And that’s where I come in. With deep love and enormous gratitude, we are pursuing a path that mirrors the heart of friendship and family: I will be carrying their embryo here in Minnesota as their gestational carrier.

This journey is filled with excitement, hope, faith, and love — but also significant financial burdens outside insurance coverage, including medical costs, legal fees, and required travel.

Every gift, every share, and every word of support helps bring Melanie and Addison closer to the moment they finally hold their baby in their arms.

Thank you for reading, for believing in their story, and for walking alongside us as love makes a way forward.

With full hearts and endless gratitude,

Molly
