Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

I have a great and supportive familial village and highly satisfying career. I’m now at a point emotionally and financially to amply begin focusing on having my own children.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

I am a recently divorced, single, 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 and highly satisfying career. 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 and a successfully happy outcome are my paramount goals. Ideally I would like to transfer one embryo, a second 1-2 years later. Details and preferences for the transfer can be discussed later. If multiples result, I'd consider it divine intervention and would be ok with that. I would like to be involved in the transfer and pregnancy to the extent that you feel comfortable. Distance/travel would obviously be a factor, and I wouldn't want to be intrusive, but rather supportive. I'd be happy--and think it even healthy--to form a good relationship, 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. 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.
