Elizabeth, Australian Intended Parent in New South Wales, Australia

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

My mother was a drug user and while she was pregnant she continued to use. This caused me to have a translocation chromosome and should have lead to a major birth defect in me. I now have a huge chance of passing this onto any babies that I have, if I fell pregnant at all. I also had cervical cancer, which lessened my chances of conceiving and have PCOS. Thinking about all of these things, we know that surrogacy is the best option for us.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

We are really just a down to Earth couple, I work in Child Protection and my husband Josh works in Mental Health. We love the outdoors, camping, fishing and going on adventures but we also love staying in and watching movies! Any day spent with family and each other is a great day for us. We both have a great sense of humor (well I think so anyways), we love a joke and just to play and have loads of fun

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

Hi, We have finally come out with our request, we are done with being parents without children and are looking for the strong and selfless woman to help us with this. I can't even describe what this would mean to my husband and I, I wouldn't even know where to begin to ask this of someone but it's our only chance of completing our family.
