In a time when they felt settled and secure, Lisa and Rachel yearned for a child to complete their family. After doing some research, they discovered MakeAmom, a company dedicated to helping families achieve their dreams of parenthood. They decided to try the at-home insemination options offered by the company, which has the only reusable kit available on the market.
Their journey began in August 2018 when they were excited to learn they were expecting. However, by early September, they faced the heartbreak of a miscarriage. Despite the setback, they remained hopeful and decided to try again. In November 2018, they were overjoyed to discover that they were pregnant once more, and this time, everything clicked into place.
By January 2019, they learned they were expecting a baby boy, something both Lisa and Rachel had hoped for. Their son, Ethan, arrived in August 2019, filling their lives with joy. Remarkably, they were able to conceive both times with just one attempt, thanks to a trusted donor who shares similar features with Lisa, making it seem as though Ethan resembles her more than Rachel, despite Rachel carrying him.
They extend their heartfelt gratitude to the team at MakeAmom for providing them with the opportunity to build their family. Now, they also have a golden retriever who enjoys life with their little human.
