Amanda and Courtney’s love story, which began in 2012 with a deep connection blossomed into a lifelong partnership when they finally tied the knot in 2021 the only fashion they knew how — a grand adventure! Together, they’ve explored the world with a shared sense of adventure, always seeking new experiences and cherishing the beauty of nature. Now, they are thrilled to embark on their most exciting journey yet — becoming parents. With an unlimited amount of love to give, a strong work ethic and unwavering dedication, Amanda and Courtney are ready to share the magic of the world with their future child. They are incredibly grateful to the Chicago Coalition for Family Building for easing the financial burden of this journey and for being a part of their family-building adventure.
