James, British Intended Parent in West Midlands, United Kingdom

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

My fiancée had to have a full hysterectomy 4 years ago due to severe endometriosis.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

Hi, We are a loving, happy couple who are close to our friends and family. We like to laugh and see the positive side of life despite the knocks life can sometimes bring. We get on well with most people and love to meet new people and experience new things. My fiancée and I have been together since we were at school so, we are childhood sweethearts. We enjoy breaks to the seaside with our nieces and nephews, and we have fostered 12 children over the last few years. No matter how difficult it can be at first the children always turn into happy loving little characters. When they leave us to go to their forever home, it breaks our hearts, so we have decided after a couple of years consideration that we would love to try for a child of our own through surrogacy.

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

Hi there, We would love to meet up so you can get to know us. We are a kind, caring, positive and loving couple who would love a child of their own. We have fostered 12 children over the last few years and have helped to turn their lives around. The children were aged between newborn and 6 years old. We have decided to put the fostering on hold and try for our own baby. We so want to fall in love with our own baby instead of having heart breaking goodbye's. We have a loving and supportive network of family and friends who are fully behind us and want this for us as much as we do. We hope to hear back from you. Best Wishes xx
