Kristan, British Intended Parent in Pembroke, Bermuda

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

I am going to be 31 soon, which isn't terribly old, but by time this process potentially happens I will be mid 30s. I am settled, I have a home, a job, and I'm ready to have a baby. Adoption is long, and ridiculously expensive for children that NEED a home and stable life. You have to literally jump through hoops and have a huge cash flow. I don't have that nor the time for that. I don't actually want to be pregnant which is so crazy (I know), but I so very much want a child.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

I'm funny and pretty witty. Tender, loving empathetic, maybe overly.I will admit I'm a tad controlling and lack patience (with adults) but have mounds and an overflow for children. I am really not experienced, kind of shy. A very hard worker, I'm a teacher and devote all my time to doing things for my class.SO I do have 12 children BUT I can't take them home with me :)

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

Hi there! Pick me kidding, sort of. I would love to have a child. I have the means to support that child and provide said child with a great life. I have a fantastic home with a cottage, and huge yard, and one fat black cat called Nora. I have a brilliant mother so that is one step in the right direction. I had a really good upbringing, I didn't have a father in the picture and I can't think of anything that I wanted for. I look forward to sharing my life with my potential child.I want the boos, and the tears, and the potty training, and timeouts, and butterfly kisses, snuggles, stories, homework, swings, play dates, parties. I really long for all of that. Thank you kindly, Kristan IMPORTANT I would rather in home insemination Traditional - use of surrogates egg and donor sperm Ready for summer of *** (I know that seems far off but I am a planner and can't start looking at that time) So wants are not unclear: I am looking for a traditional surrogate.Honestly because the costs are low and the trying is easy. I would pay for all medical and other ( time off of work for birth, clothing, food) expenses and the 'adoption' process.I would love a open and honest relationship with the 'birth mother' and my child.It would be an on going relationship and a bonding of families. I imagine it takes a very special person to do such a task and I hope to find her.
