Kimberley-Ann, Canadian Intended Parent in Quebec, Canada

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

My husband and I were blessed with a healthy child June 5th. Gratefully my daughter was born without my genetic disorder that has almost cost us her life and mine. Three days before she was born I had a type B aortic dissection at almost 31 weeks pregnancy. Basically if I was to keep her any longer I could have had an aneurism and bled to death internally. So cesarean it was. And although this whole experience could be enough to make my husband and I change our minds about wanting an other child, it hasn't. This has brought us closer. Our daughter is so special to us and we would love to be able to provide her with a sibling. With this in mind, the only way we could possibly do this would be through surrogacy because carrying a child again would be fatal to me.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

I'm an eternal optimistic. I'm passionate about life and all the experiences that come with it. I would describe myself as very determined yet very happy-go-lucky!

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

I know the right woman for us is out there. It's just a matter of finding you!! What a selfless act of kindness you would give us to carry our child! There are no words that would properly express the gratitude that we would have towards your generosity.
