Intended Parent from State Line, Mississippi, USA.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for many years now. We have one daughter that we were blessed with when we were very young (I was 19 when I had her). Later after going back to school and trying to get settled in life, we decided that we wanted more children but it wasn't happening. I began have severe periods that drastically affected my life. I knew something wasn't right. I finally found out that I have stage four endometriosis. I've had three surgeries because of this disease and have been battling with this debilitating disease for about five years now. After meeting with a fertility doctor, we found out that IVF would be the only way we could conceive. We tried IVF through a discounted research program at the clinic. I thought this was an answered prayer because otherwise we could not afford IVF. I got pregnant after one cycle, but there was no heartbeat on the ultrasound. We were devastated! I had lost what I thought would be an answer to our prayers. We have frozen embryos left and would love to try again. Since then, I've had another surgery related to the endometriosis (this makes the 3rd surgery). To be honest, I'm not sure if I can even carry my own baby. I've had so many complications. So, I've been praying about this for quite a while. I don't want to destroy my embryos and my chance at being a mother again!! I would love to find a gestational surrogate that is willing to work with us. We would love to have the opportunity to have another baby/babies. It would be truly a blessing to find someone who would be willing to work with us and carry our embryos. That would give our family the blessing that we've been praying for!
How would you best describe yourself(s):
I am a genuine person that can be somewhat shy. I'm honest and have a compassionate heart to help people.
