Sheila, Canadian Intended Parent in Ontario, Canada

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

I have always dreamed of becoming a mom. I have made educational/career choices for myself but also in hopes of being the best mom I could be. Partime jobs turned into choosing courses in high school and then post secondary. I have two very rewarding careers but both are to help children and families. I knew then and I know now; this is the most important to us. We truly want to be parents. Matthew and I have had a long and very motivated journey for 5 years. We have had many lost angels. We feel now, at this point that with our embryos we need help from an amazing caring woman to help us complete our family and finally bring our baby home.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

We are very much in love and best friends! we act silly and have fun whenever and wherever we can at home or out. However, we are both educated professionals. We value respect and nature very much. We love to hike and camp with our two dogs. We both have great families amazing supportive parents, grandparents, 2 adorable nieces and a nephew. We have wonderful friends that we consider to be our family as well. We wear our hearts on our sleeves (and that is the hard part in his journey for us). However; honesty, love and hope are what has gotten us here... we are that through and through. We would like our baby to know and learn that from us. We love every animal there is and have been foster parents and now have two dogs of our own who we love so much. We take them everywhere. This is our family and way more!!!! we are hoping we can add one or more to make us whole.

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

We can not express the gratitude we have that someone out there may be willing to help us complete our family. We personally have tried everything to make this happen together and it has made us stronger as a couple. We are looking for a gestational surrogate to carry our healthy embryos into our arms. Sometimes people need some help. In my career this is all I do and know and I wouldn't have it any other way. This is how Matthew and I are built. We are unsure what to write here but if we connect I know I can express and communicate this much better to you than in such small paragraph. I really appreciate you taking the time to read this and I hope we can talk and do this together! This journey takes an incredibly special woman to be willing to help. Thank you for considering Matthew and I.
