Hi everyone,

We’re reaching out with humble hearts and hopeful spirits as we invite you into a very personal chapter of our family’s journey — one filled with deep love, long prayers, and unwavering faith.

For those who know us, you know our path to parenthood has not been easy. Infertility has been a painful and complex part of our story, but by the grace of God and the gift of modern medicine, we have been blessed with three beautiful children through IVF. Each one of them is a miracle — a living reminder of hope after heartbreak.

However, the road hasn’t been without sacrifice. After the birth of our youngest child, due to medical complications, Madelynne had to undergo a hysterectomy. While we are so grateful for the family we have, we’ve always felt there was one more soul meant to be part of our lives.

After many months of prayer, soul-searching, and talking with doctors, we’ve come to the deeply considered and faith-led decision to grow our family through surrogacy. It wasn’t a decision we took lightly — this journey is costly, emotionally layered, and humbling in every way — but we feel peace in knowing this is the right next step for us.

We know times are hard, and asking for help is never easy. But if you feel moved to support us — whether through a financial donation, sharing our story, or keeping us in your prayers — we are beyond grateful. Every little bit helps bring us one step closer to holding our next little miracle in our arms.

Surrogacy is expensive — from medical procedures to legal fees and agency costs — but we believe love makes a family, and community makes a journey like this possible.

We’re praying over every step of this process, and we believe that God is not finished writing our family’s story.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of it.

With love,

The Holtrup Family
