Caryn, Australian Intended Parent in Victoria, Australia

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

We are IP's from Melbourne, Australia. I am 41 and had a hysterectomy 20 years ago. At the time my dr wanted to try keeping some of my ovarian tissue to freeze, with the hope that they may be able to regraft the tissue back into me and it would be able to produce eggs. I'm happy to say that after 16 ivf cycles in 15 months I have 5 beautiful embryos frozen and now I am just looking for my angel to help me complete my dream of a family. Thanks. Caryn

How would you best describe yourself(s):

We are a couple who have had to stand the test of time being apart and have come through it stronger and more committed than ever. We are both very family orientated and want nothing more than to have a family of our own.

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

All I ever wanted to do with my life was be a Mum. I had it all planned out. Unfortunately it didn't work out the way I thought it would. I am very proud to say that the journey I have had so far has progressed IVF and Fertility preservation ten fold. And while that in itself is a wonderful thing, my heart aches to have a baby of my own. Omar and I are a bi-racial couple (I am Australian and Omar is Jamaican) and we have 5 embryos in storage here in Australia. We are hoping to find that wonderful woman and her family who will be able to assist us in realising our dreams of being parents. The journey I and we have taken to get to this point is long and I am more than happy to share it, however I dont have enough space here but happy to email with anyone who would like to know. If you think that you might be the person to help us take our little embryos and create our baby I would love to speak with you further.
