Hello, I’m Sarah! At 19, I faced a diagnosis of premature ovarian failure. My wonderful sister, Megan, immediately offered to be a surrogate for my husband and me. Fast forward a few years, and we decided to start our journey this past summer, thinking it might take a few months. We dove into research, joined various trying-to-conceive and surrogacy groups, and explored options for home insemination with MakeAmom.
To our surprise, we conceived on the first attempt! Unfortunately, after a few weeks, we learned during a doctor’s visit that our baby had stopped developing, leading to a heartbreaking miscarriage. Despite this loss, we chose to try again. After taking a cycle off, we attempted insemination once more and received a positive result! Now, at 14 weeks pregnant, we’re excited to share that we’re expecting a baby boy!
We can’t express enough gratitude for MakeAmom; our surrogacy journey would not have been possible without them. If you’re interested in learning more about how at-home insemination works, visit How It Works. Additionally, if you’re looking for support or community, consider joining the MakeAmom Facebook group for free sperm donor matching.

We are incredibly excited for our growing family and want to thank MakeAmom for being a part of our journey. We believe our story can inspire others navigating their paths to parenthood!
