Mary, American Intended Parent in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

Why do we need a surrogate mother? I had Hodgkin's and the chemo killed my eggs and then I had to have a hysterectomy. This sadly broke my heart and has left no options but asking another mom to give us the biggest blessing of all.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

I am a very loving, kind, caring mom. I enjoy teaching children new things. I am always the first to volunteer at school. The outdoors and nature calls me to interact with it. Gardening and cooking with foods from the garden are a great way to teach kids math. Both my boys were active in Boy Scouts and my oldest is an Eagle Scout. I never yell or scream. I am very even tempered and find that kids deserve consistent boundaries and a conversation about rules. The television is rarely on in my home. Books are present. I am inquisitive and enjoy finding the reason things work. My best friend, and love of my life Jack, is the perfect gentleman. His private school education keeps him opening doors, pulling out chairs, and always filling our home with mutual respect. He is brilliant, funny, cute, and a family man. Jack is hands on and cooks fantastic meals, does laundry, and can repair anything that is broken or assemble toys on Christmas Eve.
