Tonight at 7pm, we're lighting a candle for all the little lives gone too soon. 🌈💛

October 15th marks International Wave of Light, a time when families around the world come together to remember babies lost during pregnancy or infancy. At 7pm in each time zone, candles are lit and kept glowing for one hour, creating a “wave of light” that travels around the world.

If you'd like to join us, light a candle tonight in honor of the little lives we hold close and the families who carry their love every day. To every family who has experienced this kind of loss, we're thinking of you. Your babies are remembered, your stories matter, and you are never alone. 💛

💛 1 in 4 will experience miscarriage.
💛 1 in 6 will experience infertility.
💛 1 in 100 will experience recurrent pregnancy loss.

These numbers are heartbreaking, but they deserve to be talked about. Behind every number is a person, a family, a story, and a journey that deserves to be heard. We share these statistics because we know how isolating infertility and pregnancy loss can feel. While everyone's journey looks different, we want you to know that you're never alone in yours.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and we're holding space for the babies gone too soon, the families carrying loss, and everyone still holding on to hope. We're here for you, wherever you are in your journey. 🌈

Checking in on one of our Kids Like Connor babies, Quinn! 👶

“Quinn is almost 6 months old & she already has her big brother wrapped around her finger! From the minute he wakes up in the morning, James wants to wake up “little Quinnie” and read her books.

She is rolling over, loving solids, and talking to us all day long. Sometimes she even takes a nap! She is such a trooper and goes with the flow while we all keep the toddler busy.

Quinn makes us laugh every day, and we are having so much fun being a family of 4!”

"Nothing prepares you for sitting in your doctor’s office at your 12-week appointment and hearing them say they can no longer find a heartbeat. And then your worst fear is confirmed when the sonogram that once showed a cute little bean is now just a feather floating across the screen.

But that was our reality just one year ago.

Fast forward to today, and we are going to be welcoming our rainbow baby in just 13 weeks. Nothing prepares you for this day either. The moment you see that positive test again, and every doctor’s appointment reassures you that you have a healthy baby growing.

To all the moms and dads who are still waiting for that positive test and that reassurance: we see you, we feel you, and we are connected to you. ♥️

A quote I’ve held closely throughout this journey is, “rain before rainbows.” Your rainbow is coming, and it will be so bright and beautiful." 🌈

We are so honored to announce the newest Kids Like Connor baby, Everly. 🌈

“Bringing our sweet Everly home feels like a moment we once wondered if we would ever get to experience.

After the heartbreaking loss of our daughter, Lena, our journey to growing our family continued with so much hope, fear, and uncertainty. On September 13, we were blessed to welcome our daughter, Everly, into the world. Bringing her home is a feeling that is difficult to put into words. It is filled with so much love, gratitude, and emotion.

We are incredibly grateful to KLC for helping make Everly’s story possible and for easing the financial burden of IVF. Their support gave us the opportunity to continue building our family when the road felt overwhelming. We are so fortunate that this incredible foundation exists for families like us.”
- Everly’s Mommy, Ashleigh

That’s 4 KLC babies home with their families. 💙 Thank you to our Village for helping make moments like these possible. Your support means more than you know.

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month.

For some people, the word “loss” brings to mind a baby held in their arms. But for so many of us, our babies only ever existed in our hearts, on ultrasound screens, or in the dreams we had for them.

Before Connor and Mason, we lost three babies. Three little lives that changed ours forever.

There are no birthday parties for the babies we never got to meet. No family photos. No first steps or bedtime stories. Just due dates we’ll never forget, what-ifs that still cross our minds, and a love that never had the chance to be fully expressed.

Miscarriage can feel incredibly lonely because the world often expects you to move on quickly. The truth is, grief doesn’t have a timeline. Those babies are part of our family’s story, and they always will be.

Connor came into our lives after IVF as our only embryo; our last chance after three heartbreaking losses. He is our miracle, our triple rainbow baby. Mason is another incredible blessing we never take for granted. But their arrival didn’t erase the grief that came before them. Joy and grief have learned to exist side by side.

This month, we remember every baby gone too soon, no matter how early they were lost. We think of the parents who carry invisible scars, who wonder who their children would have become, and who continue loving babies they never had the privilege of raising.

If you’ve experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss, please know this:
You are a parent. Your baby matters. Your grief is real. You are not alone.

Today and every day, we remember our three little ones who made us parents long before we ever held Connor and Mason.

In loving memory of every baby who left footprints on our hearts.

Today, we want to highlight the quiet guardians. 💛

The parents, siblings, family members, and friends who show up with love and a listening ear.

Sometimes support is simply being present, checking in, sitting beside someone, or reminding them they’re never alone in this journey.

To every person who has offered little extra comfort along the path to parenthood, thank you. Your presence means more than you know.

If you’re looking for a support system of your own, our Kids Like Connor Village is here for you. We’ve been through it before, and we’re here to listen to your story when you’re ready to tell it.

TTC = Trying to Conceive 💛

It’s a phrase you may see often when navigating infertility or fertility treatment. Simply put, TTC means actively trying to become pregnant.

If you feel like there’s an entire new language to learn along the way, you’re not alone. IVF, IUI, TTC, FET... there are a lot of abbreviations, terms, and medical lingo that can get confusing quickly.

We’re here to make things a little easier to understand.

Three years ago, our lives changed forever.

As we celebrate Connor’s third birthday, we find ourselves reflecting on the journey that brought him here. For a long time, becoming parents felt like a dream that kept slipping further away. We experienced the heartbreak of three miscarriages. Three babies we loved deeply before we ever had the chance to meet them. Each loss left us wondering if we would ever get to hold a baby of our own.

When we turned to IVF, we put everything we had into one final chance.
Connor was our only embryo, our last chance. Our triple rainbow baby.

The weight of that transfer is something we’ll never forget. Every phone call, every blood draw, every ultrasound, every milestone was filled with equal parts hope and fear. Even after we heard his heartbeat, we held our breath, praying that this time would be different.

And it was.

Today, as he turns three, we still find ourselves in awe of the little boy who changed everything.

Infertility has a way of making you appreciate the ordinary in extraordinary ways. We don’t take a single birthday, milestone, or even an ordinary Tuesday for granted because we remember what it felt like to wonder if these moments would ever come.

Connor is the reason Kids Like Connor exists. His story became the foundation of our mission: to support families facing infertility with financial assistance, emotional support, and, most importantly, hope. We know what it’s like to wonder if your miracle will ever come. We know what it’s like to feel alone. That’s why this mission means everything to us.

To every family still walking this road: we see you. We remember the fear, the grief, the waiting, and the endless hope that somehow keeps you going. We are praying for you, believing with you, and reminding you that your story is still being written.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Connor. You are the answer to prayers we whispered through tears, the miracle we thought might never come, and the greatest blessing of our lives. We will spend the rest of our lives celebrating you and never forgetting just how hard we prayed for the chance to be your mom and dad.

Love always,
Mama & Daddy ❤🌈
