Intended Parent from Ontario, Canada.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
I'm 41 years old and have been undergoing Fertility treatments for over 5 years now.I have tried everything from IUI to IVF and adoption in order to give my daughter with a miracle sibling.My last cycle of IVF in October *** resulted in another failed cycle ( even though I had my embryos tested and doctor was sure of a successful outcome).When that cycle failed, I went through a very bad depression and I was not in a good place.I had taken time off from work to focus in my Fertility with only heartbreak after heartbreak and miscarriages and poor unexplained implantation failure.My beautiful daughter got ill at the end of November and was hospitalized with a rare brain inflammation that almost took her life.We were at Sick Kids Hospital and later transferred to a kids rehab hospital for a few months.Almost losing my daughter made me realize that I need to be thankful for what I have and I feel blessed that she was saved.In a way my daughter saved me as well, we are currently both healing.My dream of expanding my family is still there, but I feel that I need to explore a different avenue to expand my family so I can continue helping my daughter recover.I have diabetes and gave suffered from depression over my infertility struggles and feel it would be in my best interest to explore having a surrogate.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
I'm very friendly and outgoing.Im a homebody and I enjoy entertaining family and friends.I work very hard as a high-school teacher and enjoy my job very much.I started fundraising for the hospital for Sick Children in April of this year in order to give back to the wonderful nurses and doctors that saved the life of my one and only daughter who is 6 years old and fell very ill in December of *** dedicate my spare time now to helping others and I hope to tell my story of life struggles in my future in order to help other women cope with life challenges.
