Xavier, American Intended Parent in Washington, District of Columbia, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

I am a recently divorced, 45-year old Black male, very serious about starting my own family and in need of a gestational surrogate and egg donor. I have a great and supportive familial village as well as a highly satisfying career. I feel that I'm now at a point emotionally and financially to amply begin focusing on having my own children (ideally two) to complete my life circle. Attention to the health and well-being for all involved and a successfully happy outcome are my paramount goals. Ideally I would like to transfer one embryo. If multiples result however, I'd consider it divine intervention and would be ok with that, though my preference is to fertilize two separate embryos, optimally from the same egg donor about 1 to 2 years apart. If there are any complications, including as a result of an amnio, I am amenable to terminating the pregnancy. I'd be happy to discuss this prior to entering into our relationship, so we can be in agreement on what consequent steps to take and when. I would like to be involved in the pregnancy to the extent you feel comfortable. Distance/travel would obviously be a factor, and I wouldn't want to be intrusive, but rather supportive. We can more fully discuss this later too. I'd be happy--and think it even healthy--to form a good relationship with the surrogate, unless a large degree of anonymity is part of your choice to offer this kind and generous gift. I will follow your lead and do not want to intrude, other than to ensure that all is well with you and the baby. So if you prefer to rely more on your own support network (i.e., partner, family, etc.) I'm happy to play a secondary supportive role as needed. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable, safe, secure, and supported. This is an amazing gift you are considering and I can't thank you enough for allowing me to be a candidate for your consideration. I look forward to talking more if you feel we are a good match.
