Home Embryo Recipient

MicheleG

We are a loving married couple from California with a wonderful 4-year-old daughter who is excited to become a big sister. Our home is warm, stable, and full of love, patience, and laughter. We enjoy spending time together as a family—going to parks, cooking meals, doing crafts, and making memories. We’ve always dreamed of growing our family, and we feel emotionally and financially ready to welcome another child into our home.

Snapshot of my life and family:
We are a loving, close-knit family of three living in California. My husband and I have a home that is warm, stable, and filled with patience, laughter, and love. We have a wonderful 4-year-old daughter who is kind-hearted, curious, and full of joy. She talks often about wanting a sibling, and we know she would be an amazing big sister. As a family, we enjoy spending time at family fun events, going to parks, and creating simple everyday memories. We value kindness, emotional stability, and providing a nurturing environment for a child to grow and feel deeply loved.
Fertility story:
Our journey to expand our family has been long and emotional. We conceived our first daughter naturally and easily, but our experiences afterward have been difficult. We suffered the devastating loss of a child due to a rare genetic disorder, and later we experienced a miscarriage. Since then, we have tried for 16 cycles and pursued fertility treatments, including medicated cycles and IUIs, with no success. Each attempt has strengthened our desire to grow our family, but it has also made it clear that traditional conception may not be possible for us anymore.

We still have so much love to give, and embryo adoption feels like a beautiful, hopeful path that allows us to experience pregnancy again while also welcoming a child who needs a loving family.
Infertility diagnosis or N/A:
I have diminished ovarian reserve, with low AMH and consistently low follicle counts. My egg quality has been affected by age, and despite ovulating regularly, the chances of producing a healthy, viable egg are extremely low. My doctors believe this is the primary reason our attempts at conceiving have not succeeded. My husband has excellent sperm quality, but my ovarian reserve and egg quality make natural conception and IUI success rates very limited. Because of this, embryo adoption gives us our best opportunity to grow our family and provide a stable, loving home to another child.
Do you have any children? (If so please explain) We have a 4 year old daughter who was conceived naturally.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our family and our journey. We know choosing recipients for your embryos is a deeply personal and emotional decision, and we want you to know that we would honor that trust with our whole hearts. We come to embryo adoption with gratitude, humility, and a genuine desire to provide a child with a loving, stable, and nurturing home.

We have walked through loss, infertility, and healing, and through all of it our commitment to growing our family has only grown stronger. We would cherish the opportunity to welcome another child into our lives—to love them unconditionally, to support them through every moment, and to give them a joyful and secure childhood.

If you feel a connection with us, please know that your gift would be treasured beyond words. Whether or not we are the family you choose, we wish you peace, clarity, and comfort in your decision.
