Meet Austin + Erin

Our Story

Hi! We’re Austin and Erin and we met in college in North Carolina in 2013. We have been married for over 7 years. We love spending our free time taking walks and trying new restaurants. We both would love to have a child of our own and are grateful that is still an opportunity for us. We look forward to meeting you and getting to know you throughout this journey!

Meet Austin

About Austin (In Erin’s words) - Austin is an extremely kind and good hearted man that I am lucky to call my husband for almost 8 years now! He is patient, caring, understanding, lover of his savior Jesus, hardworking and filled with so much love. For fun, you will always find him on the golf course trying to improve his swing or taking a walk with me. He would be an amazing father and is becoming a dad something he has always wanted ever since we got married. 

Meet Erin

About Erin (In Austin’s words) -There’s no one I know who deserves to be a mother more than Erin. She is one of the most selfless, loving, and compassionate people I’ve ever known, and she has a way of making everyone around her better. When Erin was just 23, she lost her mother to ovarian cancer while we were engaged. In the midst of grieving such an unimaginable loss, she found the strength to plan our wedding, help raise her younger brother, and become the glue that holds her family together. That’s just who Erin is. She always puts others before herself and is a constant source of love, encouragement, and support to everyone in her life.

Erin is the heart of our home, my biggest supporter, and someone who truly lives out the fruits of the Spirit in everything she does. After spending so much of her life caring for others, we were finally ready to start a family of our own, only to face challenges with endometriosis and infertility. Through it all, her strength, faith, and love have never wavered. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of the opportunity to become a mother, and nothing would bring me greater joy than seeing her experience that love for herself. I know firsthand how much better my life is because of Erin, and I know our future children will feel that same unconditional love every single day.

How We Met

We met sophomore year in college at North Carolina State University back in 2013.

Why Surrogacy?

 Erin was unfortunately diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis earlier this year. We have been lucky to create embryos, but unfortunately had a failed transfer of one of our embryos. Our doctor recommends surrogacy due to the severe endometriosis.
