Our conception story is truly special. As a same-sex couple, we anticipated that our journey might often lead us to a clinical setting, but we were determined to avoid that. We wanted our experience to be intimate, similar to what heterosexual couples (without fertility issues) often experience. This quest for intimacy led us to MakeAmom!
After selecting the ideal donor and finalizing our plans, we traveled to our donor’s city, where we enjoyed a delightful weekend getaway culminating in the intimate process of at-home insemination. It was wonderful to have the non-gestational partner so actively involved in this journey, and we are excited to begin insemination again in January, allowing both partners to participate in the experience of carrying a child.
