Ben & Rachel
We are Ben and Rachel and since our wedding in 2019, infertility has prevented us from becoming parents. We admire you for making an adoption plan and would be beyond grateful if you would choose us for your child and make our dream of having a family a reality. We would love, support, and nourish your child as our own and share all that we have with them.
