Intended Parent from Austin, Texas, USA.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
My life partner and I have been struggling to find a way to have children. We have tried CPS and its not getting us anywhere at the moment.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
I am a Gay Man that has longed for a few kids of my own. My life partner and I have struggled to adopt or foster kids due to CPS not recognizing our relationship as equal to straight couples. My partner Adam has tried surrogacy with his close lesbian friend, but with no success. We still have that dream to have a family and to have as many kids as I can. I adore and love having children in my life and feel that the surrogate mother has to be somewhat a part of that childs life as well. I feel like the mother should be open minded when it comes to same-sex couples. She should be level headed and compassionate.
Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
We would really like for our surrogate to be open minded and understanding. We want complete and honest communication on all matters regarding this potential child we are all bringing into this world. We of course want the mother to be level headed and healthy. Also for her to have somewhat of a healthy eating habit. Because that is something we strive for as well. Be courteous and respectful. Above all be, caring and loving to us and our child we are sharing together.
