We are Alex and Lauren from North Carolina

Dear Expectant Mother,

We first want you to know that you are not alone while you are on this journey. We are here for you and assure you that your baby will know you, your bravery, and your strength. You will always be a part of us - if you are open to it, we'd like to be a team. A team that will work together to do anything to give your baby the beautiful life you envision for them.

We have always talked about adoption, but had no idea that it was already in God’s plan for us. After two years of trying, we found out we were not able to get pregnant. This is due to the life-saving treatment Alex received when he had Leukemia at age 19. When we found out about our infertility, we found so much peace knowing that we would still be able to grow our family through adoption! We feel blessed for the opportunity to join you on your journey.

Our house is always filled with so much love, music, and laughter. We both play musical instruments (Lauren plays piano and Alex plays guitar) and we have fun writing songs together! We both value family time so much and are thrilled that our parents became best friends with each other. Our families frequently get together for family dinners and even spend several holidays together! Your baby will be surrounded by such a strong family unit.

We have many family traditions that we can’t wait for your baby to be a part of. Between annual family beach trips, dressing up in silly Halloween costumes, family game nights, and summer pool days in the parents' backyard, there’s no shortage of future memories!

We hope you know that everything will be okay. We are here for you. Even though we can’t fully understand the position you are in, we do understand your selflessness and strong desire to find your little one their forever home.

Warmly,
Lauren and Alex
