Queer woman happily married to her partner of seven years. I work at a university and my partner is a high school counselor—we both love kiddos and are very involved in the lives of our nieces and nephews. (We are definitely the favorite aunts of the family!)

My partner grew up playing sports and is very active. I like hiking and swimming but my passions are cooking, watching films, and reading. My partner has an incredible ability to work with young people, especially teens. I know they are excellent at their job because of how their students talk to them. I am often times inspired by my partner and their dedication to their work and the students they work with. My partner would say that the way I love is big and fills the room. I am sentimental, empathetic, and cry easily at beautiful or touching things. Our friends would describe our relationship as strong, unwavering, light hearted, and filled with mutual respect. We ground each other.

In other news, we are so ready to be parents. We can't wait to teach our kiddo how to swim, read to them, teach them Spanish and create a loving, creative, happy family :)

We were trying for a pregnancy a year ago and it became very expensive and emotionally draining. We took a break and now... here we are (hoping for a match). I would be the one carrying the baby (I'm white; and my partner is black and Mexican), and so we're hoping for a Black donor. If we are successful, we're open to periodic updates and contact with the Sperm Donor and happy to send pictures as the kiddo grows up, but we are not looking for a third parent.
