Hey there friends! We’re thrilled to share a beautiful story of love and family planning that’s sure to warm your hearts.
Meet Sarah and Lisa
Meet Sarah and Lisa – a couple who have been together for nearly eight years. Their love story kicked off with a whirlwind romance, culminating in a commitment ceremony on the steps of the Texas state capitol just 11 months after their first meeting. Since then, they’ve celebrated their love with two more ceremonies, one in Boulder, Colorado, and another in Texas after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on same-sex marriage.
The Journey to Parenthood
From the get-go, Sarah and Lisa knew they wanted to start a family. However, the timing was sometimes frustrating. Watching friends become parents while they waited for their moment was tough. Yet, they remained dedicated to growing both as individuals and as a couple, working on their relationship and saving up for their first home. In 2016, they made that dream come true by purchasing a charming fixer-upper outside of town.
Taking the Leap
One day, while browsing online, Sarah stumbled upon an at-home insemination kit that piqued her interest. Although they still had renovations to tackle, just the act of ordering the kit made Sarah feel closer to their dream of having a baby. They had discussed various ways to conceive and decided that starting their journey at home, surrounded by love and positivity, was the way to go.
Preparing for the Journey
As they prepared, Sarah focused on healthy eating, yoga, and meditation. When the time felt right, they used fresh donor sperm and inseminated three times during Sarah’s fertile week. They were ready for the two-week wait (TWW), not expecting immediate results but hoping for the best. To their surprise, it worked on the first try! Now, Sarah is 12 weeks pregnant, and they couldn’t be happier!

Sarah and Lisa’s journey reminds us that the hardest part can simply be taking that leap of faith to start trying.
