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

Hello, I'm Esther and my wife is Lin. We are intended parents living in Los Angeles searching for our low comp/altruistic Gestational Surrogate.We currently have two genetically "perfect" embryos awaiting transfer.Ideally we would like to transfer one embryo at a time.While we are eager to get moving ASAP, we are committed to finding a compatible gestational surrogate.Having said that, if we were to find our surrogate rather quickly, we are all set to move forward right away.We are open to surrogates living in surrogate friendly states, preferably in California, Washington or Texas.We are some what flexible with residence states as long as they are surrogate friendly. We have been trying to conceive since *** and between the two of us, we have had 9 IVFs and spent an exorbitant amount of money.Hence the lower compensation.To finally arrive at a place where we can possibly transfer is a significant milestone to being able to fulfill on our commitment of having a family. A little back story - my wife had a life altering auto accident in the summer of *** that resulted in a spinal cord injury.She spent over a year where the majority of time she was immobilized in bed while I ran a business full time and cared for her.Finally, after trying many methods/medications to heal, she was able to get moving again through a surgery where they installed an artificial disc in her neck and then performed a cervical fusion using her stem cells. It would be a few more years after the surgery that she would return to a level similar to where she was pre the auto accident.During those years she worked hard in physical therapy, worked through the pain and kept her eyes on the prize of having a family.We both did.While in bed Lin stayed active relentlessly researching on how to have a family as a same sex couple.She grew up in the foster care system so having a biological family was always especially and extremely important to her.Contrary to her upbringing, I didn’t grow up in foster care but would agree that having a family of my own is equally important.Our desire to have a family pushed us through many dark nights of the soul.We feel abundantly blessed that our adversity deepened who we are and deepened our relationship. We both never imagined during those times that once we made it through to the other side we would need a surrogate to make our strongest desires a reality.But here we are today... We are optimistic, deeply caring, warm, givers, dare I say spiritual, emotionally and financially stable professionals who have been together for 7 years.Married since *** live our life in gratitude. Even though we haven’t met our gestational surrogate yet, we know you are out there.We are already in the deepest gratitude to you for the gift of your existence.It would be very helpful if our gestational surrogate already has surrogate friendly health insurance although we are open to purchasing surrogate friendly insurance for our ideal surrogate.

We have a saying in our home, "We leave people, places and things better than we found them." Some have a desire to leave a legacy by the success they achieve in business or personal wealth - we want to have a legacy of giving our collective future as human beings, the gift of children who, if all goes well, will become individuals who leave people, places and things better than we they found them. We wish everyone success on their journeys. Thanks for taking the time to consider us, Lin and Esther
