Just like any couple, my partner and I wanted to expand our family without the clinical feel of a doctor’s office. Instead, we dreamed of a warm, welcoming environment at home. We started our journey with an at-home insemination kit back in the fall of 2020. Along the way, we were fortunate to receive a few more kits as gifts from family, which added to our excitement.
After about seven cycles, we finally received that long-awaited positive test in August 2021! Our beautiful baby, Emma, arrived in May 2022, and every day she reminds us that LOVE truly MAKES A FAMILY.

In summary, our journey was filled with love, hope, and determination, proving that families come together in many beautiful ways.
