Monique, American Intended Parent in San Jose, California, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

We have always believed we would be parents someday. Unfortunately, in *** I underwent treatment for leukemia and have fullly recovered and am considered completely cured, however consequently am not able to conceive a child. We hope that our dream will come true through a willing surrogate that God leads us to.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

We are devoted christians, and endeavor to live out our faith! We love to be active with lots of sports, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking. We love to travel. We have a large extended family who we spend a lot of time with....lots of siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles. Family and faith are first and foremost in our life. My husband is a professional in emergency services and I've recently retired after 20+ years in the emergency services profession. We are hoping and praying that we can connect with the right surrogate and make our dreams of becoming parents come true!!

Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:

We hope that you will look at our profile and pray about it, seek God's direction and whether He is leading you to help us make our dream of a family come true. We know this is a huge commitment and decision, so please give it some thought and contact us if you would consider being a traditional surrogate for us! God bless you and keep you!
