During my high-risk pregnancy, Sarah Parent, RN, in maternal fetal medicine, made an unforgettable impact on our journey to parenthood. Facing a high-risk pregnancy is challenging enough, but as an LGBTQIA+ couple, it can be even more difficult to find healthcare providers who are not only clinically excellent but also genuinely supportive of our family.

From the very first appointment, Sarah's compassion shone through. She made my wife and me feel seen, respected, and valued, not just as patients, but a s a family eagerly awaiting the arrival of our child. Sarah demonstrated unwavering dedication by taking the time to explain every detail of my complex pregnancy, ensuring we felt informed and empowered despite the anxiety that comes with high-risk situations.

Her integrity was evident in the honest, thoughtful communication she maintained with us. She always ensured we understood our options and felt confident in our decisions, never rushing our questions or concerns. What truly sets Sarah apart is her commitment to the community. She fostered an inclusive and affirming environment, celebrating our journey as a same-sex couple and embracing the love we have for our baby.

In a world where acceptance can't always be assumed, Sarah's support gave us a sense of belonging and peace during an otherwise stressful time. Sarah Parent didn't just care for my medical needs; she cared for our family's heart. Her compassion, dedication, integrity, and community commitment made all the difference in our experience, and we will forever be grateful for the role she played in helping us bring our baby into the world.
