Elizabeth, American Intended Parent in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

presently doing IVF; may need surrogate if I can not carry.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

***I do not show pictures of my husband online, as he's a very private person, and owns several well known businesses around the Minneapolis area. In fact, he'd be pretty angry if he knew I was even on here; as in, sharing personal information, as well as pictures. I don't even have Facebook, Twitter, or any of that other social media, mindless crap (sorry.). I shared a series of pictures of myself so you know I'm a real person...thanks!***We are a married couple of 6 years, been together 12. After trying a few years, I finally became pregnant the spring of *** Unfortunately, 13 weeks later, I miscarried. We have been trying again for roughly another year and a half...no luck. So we've begun our IVF journey. I actually begin the injections on November tenth. I'm both anxious and nervous. The doctor said I'm an ideal candidate for IVF, as for a woman of 35, I have quite a few less follicles than what is normal. I am going to try to carry the first few times; if I am unable to do so, my husband and I would like to employ a surrogate.Compensation is negotiable, and will increase generously if you carry twins. We will also cover medical, legal, travel, room and board, as well as a possible allowance for maternity clothes. At present, I am not an active member, as it's not certain if we'll need a surrogate, but I wanted to plan ahead...maybe I'll join very soon! Thanks for viewing!

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

We are looking for someone physically, mentally and emotionally healthy to help us along our journey. Ideal candidate will be a non-smoker, doesnt use street drugs, and is willing to take a break from drinking alcohol. She should have at least one successful pregnancy with her own child (does not need previous surrogacy experience.) Lives a relatively healthy life, as in, isn't sedentary. Is willing to go through a physical and mental examination by a physician, to assert that she is sound for this position. She must also realize that she'll be signing a contractual agreement of what is expected during and after the pregnancy. We will cover the costs of legal counsel; she may provide her own attorney, or we will choose for her. Furthermore, if she has or loves cats, that's a plus! I'm a huge cat person, and knowing my little one(s) will be near a feline in the later months of gestation makes me very happy-as I have three black cats that I love and adore-my fur babies! Thank you!
