Tonya & Eddie, American Intended Parent in Biddeford, Maine, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

We have been married almost 5 years and want a baby to love and complete our lives. I had cervical issues when I was younger and had several biopsies done, that had left me unable to carry a baby full term. We did get pregnant but unfortunately after 4 months it ended in a miscarriage. It was completely heartbreaking for both of us, after trying the last 3 years, it doesn't seem that we are going to get a second chance. We are not rich enough to afford medical intervention-that would not help anyways, however we can afford to care for a child, giving him or her a good life with more love than they could ever imagine.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

I enjoy spending time with my dogs, training and showing. I like to paint, draw, read, I was active in sports(softball, basketball, martial arts) when younger now learning how to play tennis. Eddie is in shape and very active, he loves tennis, soccer and working out. He speaks several languages and likes to expand his mind by learning.

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

We both comes from large families that all siblings have been blessed with children of their own. We are praying that we find that special lady with a big heart that can make our dreams of raising a family come true. We would like to be involved as much as possible with the pregnancy, doctor appointments, in the delivery room if that is ok with you and you are close enough.
