Uniquely Knitted exists to transform the experience of infertility. Our mission is to heal the traumas of infertility, miscarriage, and loss, and to end the isolation that comes with struggling to conceive. We achieve this by providing innovative, evidence-based preventative mental health support to those fighting to grow their families.

The Uniquely Knitted Story

There once was a young couple, Jesse and Doug, who dreamed of having a big family. They were ready for kids. They had made their home, prepared their marriage, bought a big car, and even picked out names. The firstborn would be named after their grandparents!

Weeks of trying turned into months. They thought, “It’s okay, sometimes it takes a while. Good things come to those who wait.” But as months went by, they realized something was wrong. They tried everything and sought help from doctors.

Hope came and went. The doctors confirmed their worst fears: they were dealing with significant infertility. The good things might never come, despite the wait.

Months turned into years. Their dreams faded, and their plans failed. There would be no big family, no full car, and no one named after their grandparents.

Yet, in their darkest times, there was an invitation—not a silver lining, but an invitation. An opportunity to grow, to become new people, to find new meaning in life, and to envision a different future. What began small grew into a different life, but a good life. A life that included adoption, foster care, and eventually a plan to give back and help others facing infertility.

Uniquely Knitted was created to help others in the midst of infertility. It became an organization that helps people process pain, feel their feelings, build resilience, and hope for life.

As Uniquely Knitted grew, something amazing happened—it worked. People found each other, processed their pain, and found resilience. Not all pain was lost, and infertility forever impacts lives, but by finding one another, people found hope for a new story, a unique story, one that includes the struggle to grow a family.

Uniquely Knitted continues to be a beacon of support, education, and research. It helps people cope, process, and learn how infertility impacts the world.

If you are reading this story, we welcome you. You are part of this unique story. Together, we are knitted together by infertility, and through our connection, the world is a less scary place for people with infertility.

We are no longer isolated. We are Uniquely Knitted.

Jesse and Doug Brown founded Uniquely Knitted in 2019 through collaboration with accomplished psychologists to serve the infertility community in a way that truly makes a lasting change.
