Hey Everyone,

We are so excited to have the privilege to set up this fundraising page for our dear friends, Zeph and Kayla. If you know them, you know how awesome they are. They are people who love to serve, who care deeply about others, and who bring so much joy to those around them.

As some of you may know, they have struggled with the grief of infertility for years. But now, they have an amazing opportunity to grow their family - through embryo adoption! Embryo adoption would allow for Kayla to experience pregnancy, and begin bonding with her kiddo from the very beginning. We are so stoked that this opportunity is available to them, but as you can imagine - it is an expensive process. So we are hoping that you will join us in partnering with Zeph and Kayla on this journey and supporting them in whatever way you are able. Let's love on them the same way they have loved on so many others!

-Nick and Lindsey Hart

Here is their story: Hi, we're Zeph and Kayla Delgado. We've been married since 2012 and are now embarking on an exciting new chapter in our lives. In June 2015, we decided we were ready to grow our family. After a year of trying and feeling discouraged, we sought medical testing. In October 2016, we received the heartbreaking news that we couldn't conceive biologically, and IVF or further tests weren't an option for us. This was a challenging time, but we soon found peace in the Lord, believing we were chosen for a different path. Although the past nine years have been difficult, we're grateful for the growth we've experienced. This journey has strengthened our marriage and prepared us for parenthood. Adoption has been on our hearts for years, and we now feel called to pursue embryo adoption - a unique opportunity to experience pregnancy, while adopting a child God has chosen for us. It's incredible to think that this baby will know my heartbeat and bond with us from the very first breath. To make this dream a reality, we're seeking financial support to work with the National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC) in Knoxville, Tennessee. It's a comprehensive program, so we will work directly with their staff during the matching process, and their medical team for the frozen embryo transfer. Donations will go toward the program fee, home study, legal expenses, and the medical costs associated with the frozen embryo transfer. We want to invite you to partner with us on this journey, and to be part of the calling God has on our lives. We appreciate your support—both financially and in prayer. Our ultimate desire is to glorify the Lord through our story and offer hope to others facing similar challenges. Thank you for being part of our journey toward parenthood. We recognize that it takes a village to raise a child, and we’re beyond grateful to have ours walk alongside us every step of the way! If you prefer to give directly to us through Venmo, Zelle or a check, please connect with us and we will share our information to do so. Feel free to reach out to us if you’d like more details or want to see where we are in the process and how you can pray for us! With love and gratitude, Zeph & Kayla Delgado For more information about the NEDC, please visit their website: https://www.embryodonation.org/

    October 9, 2025(edited)

    We’re overjoyed to share the news that — thanks to your incredible generosity, encouragement, and prayers — we are pregnant through embryo adoption! After 10 years of longing and waiting, this journey has stretched us, shaped us, and reminded us that God’s timing is always perfect. We truly couldn’t have reached this moment without your love and support. Our little one is due March 2026, and we are filled with excitement and gratitude as we prepare to welcome this long-prayed-for baby into the world. Thank you for being part of our story. You’ve helped make this dream a reality. With love and gratitude, Zeph and Kayla

    Hi all, We are so thankful to have met our fundraising goal right before Christmas! Such a blessing to us. A little update as to where we are in our process: We had a home visit yesterday with a social worker, which was the last step in the home study process. It went great, and we are happy to keep moving forward in this journey. Please join us in praying for wisdom, discernment and clarity in the matching process! We are going into it with open hearts, and trusting that the Lord will direct our steps. With love, Zeph & Kayla

    Hi friends and family, We went to Knoxville last week for our appointment and Kayla was given medical clearance to continue forward, praise God! We are still working towards completing the home study, then we will be given access to an online database of donor family profiles and begin the matching process. It’s exciting to see God’s plans unfold and we feel the love and support in this time. Thank you for the prayer, donations, and sharing our page. It means a lot to us! Lots of love, Zeph and Kayla
