Erin, American Intended Parent in West Hartford, Connecticut, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

I lost my uterus in childbirth but I still desperately want to grow my family. I have one child but my husband and I always wanted more. I have 2 frozen embryos left but need someone to carry the pregnancy for me.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

I was an accountant but currently stay at home mother to my 6 month old daughter. I struggled with miscarriages and infertility for many years before I was finally able to have my daughter via ivf. My uterus ruptured when I delivered her and I almost died from internal bleeding. I had an emergency hysterectomy to save my life. So now I can no longer carry a child.

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

I believe it takes a very special kind of person to be a surrogate. There are very few of these people out there and I am keeping hope alive that I get very lucky and am able to connect with one. I have gone through a great deal of pain and tears on my long journey to build my family. I am truly thankful for the one child I do have but i feel like the 2 embryos i have are my potential babies and i still have alot of love to give. I wish I could be pregnant again myself but it just is not possible. I am looking for a woman with strength and a big heart that may help me to complete my family.
