Intended Parent from Hamburg, Germany.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
Becoming parents through surrogacy in the summer of 2023 was one of the most transformative and beautiful experiences of our lives. Our son, August, has brought us immense joy, and we are so grateful to the surrogate who made it all possible. Parenthood has further strengthened our bond as a couple, and it feels natural for us to grow our family. We believe that having a sibling would provide August with a lifetime companion to share love, experiences, and memories. Since we cannot achieve this dream biologically, we are once again turning to surrogacy with the hope of finding someone who can help us complete our family.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
We are Markus (35) and Thomas (34), a loving and dedicated couple who have been together for 13 wonderful years. Markus is a manager in IT, and Thomas works as a software developer. Both of us grew up in rural countryside areas, which gave us a deep appreciation for nature, something we continue to value and share with our son. We lead a family-oriented, outdoor-loving lifestyle, filled with warmth, laughter, and adventures. Our journey to parenthood has been incredibly fulfilling, and we are excited to expand our family once again.
Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
Dear Potential Surrogate, Thank you for considering such a selfless and generous act that has the power to change lives. Parenthood is a profound and beautiful journey, and we feel incredibly blessed to have experienced it once already. Now, we dream of expanding our family to provide our son, August, with a sibling to grow up with and cherish. Our lives are built on a foundation of love, mutual respect, and shared values. We treasure our family time, whether it’s exploring nature, reading stories together, or enjoying quiet moments at home. Our son is the center of our world, and we are committed to providing him and his future sibling with a nurturing and supportive environment. We feel very fortunate to have already shared this journey once with an extraordinary surrogate named Jessi, who brought our son into the world. Jessi has become such an important part of our lives, and we will be forever grateful to her for the incredible gift she gave us. She will always remain a part of our family, and the bond we built during that journey is something we cherish deeply. If you would like, Jessi would be more than happy to share her experience of walking this path with us. We believe it is important that you feel supported and reassured, and hearing directly from her might give you valuable insights into what it’s like to work with us. We are surrounded by an amazing family who are equally excited to welcome another child into our lives. Our parents, who adore their grandson, are eagerly awaiting the arrival of another grandchild to love and cherish. We deeply respect and admire the strength, compassion, and kindness it takes to consider becoming a surrogate. Your willingness to help families like ours fulfill their dreams is truly inspiring, and we would be honored to embark on this journey with you. With warm regards and gratitude, Markus & Thomas
