Intended Parent from Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
At birth I was diagnosed with MHKR. This meant Have ovaries but could not carry my own babies. After my husband and I married met in 2015, we gained legal adoption for our beautiful 7 year old butterfly daughter in 2016 then we married in 2017. After extensive visits to and from Fertility Clinics, we were then approved for IVF Treatment, therefore it meant we had to start on our surrogate journey. So, here we are hoping to connect with the angel that is willing to journey alongside us in growing our family.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
Whilst born and raised here in the beautiful Aotearoa, we are descendants of the Pacific and embrace our homeland the Cook Islands and Samoa. We are a very outgoing family who love family time and spending days together with both our extended families. We are active in our church and are hard workers.
Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
A bit nervous posting!! Dan & Tash here, we are a family of three with our beautiful, adopted butterfly who is now 7 years old, who is ready and is going to be an amazing older sister. Whilst born and raised here in the beautiful Aotearoa, we are descendants of the Pacific and embrace our homeland the Cook Islands and Samoa. We are a very outgoing family who love family time and spending days together with both our extended families. We are active in our church and are hard workers. Both Dan and I, work in the Education sector Intermediate and Secondary year level schools, with Dan being a Music Teacher and myself as a Careers Advisor. Our family values are based around faith, culture, and Integrity. My story: At birth I was diagnosed with MHKR (Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome). This meant I have ovaries but could not carry my own babies. After Dan and I met in 2015, we gained adoption for our baby girl in 2016 and got married in 2016, there we felt led to start on this journey of searching for our mummy tummy to help carry our Bubbah. After scheduling appointments for many medical consultations, we have finally been given the approval to start on the IVF process. This encouraged us to join and interact with people from all over New Zealand and even the world who are also journeying through if not the same situation, similar. I have read through some amazing stores on these many social media platforms and the amazing experiences from the surrogates. Therefore, we hope that you are the angel sent from heaven that'll say yes and I know it is such a extreme and selfless decision to make but I know your heart for helping people grow their families will have a huge impact on our lives as Intended Parents. We look forward to catching up with you over coffee.
