Intended Parent from Newtown, Pennsylvania, USA.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
We would love nothing more than to give our son the gift of a sibling. Both my husband and I have siblings; I have a brother, and my husband has 2 sisters. We both enjoy close relationships with our siblings and want to give our son that same type of relationship - a playmate for now and hopefully a friend that he can count on as he gets older. Though this is our greatest wish, we are facing fertility issues that won't allow us to have another child without the help of a gestational carrier.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
My husband and I are warm and loving parents to our 3-year old son. We both work outside the home, and we are both close with our families, who live in the Philadelphia area. We enjoy going to parks, visiting baseball stadiums, going to the movies, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
Infertility is a painful road that my husband and I have been on for the past 5 years. We're extremely fortunate to have had our son after many fertility treatments, but since his birth, we've had even more failures (multiple failed IVFs, long hospital stays, etc), and the doctors now recommend that I look for help from a surrogate if I really want to be a mother again. I do so want to be a mother again as I believe it would be the greatest gift that I could give my son. Please contact me if you are interested in helping our family become complete! We'll forever be grateful to you for giving us this most extraordinary gift.
