Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

We are looking for a host surrogate mother.We tried for three years to conceive a baby to complete our family.we decided we would make arrangements to start IVF proceedings in *** unfortunately January 5th of that year ceri (then aged 27) was diagnosed with aggressive cervical cancer (despite a clear smear test 12 month prior) and needed a full hysterectomy the following month.We where then told she needed further treatment in the form of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, however ceri held off receiving this until her eggs where collected and we had them fertilised with James sperm.Now fully recovered and almost two years cancer free we now want to take the step and have a child.

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

Hi there! Firstly thank you for looking at our profile.And wow what a decision you have made deciding to be a surrogate for someone! This encounter may lead to one of the most significant events in our life and yours.We hope this introduction will give you some insight into who we are. We have been together for 6 years, madly in love but we are best friends also.We knew we had found our soul mate and talks of marriage and kids came along really quickly.We started trying for a baby after three years of not falling pregnant a now familiar feeling of a breaking heart we decided in mid *** that come *** if we had not concieved we would visit our gp (again) and start the ball rolling with trying IVF however, January 5th *** ceri was diagnosed with aggressive cervical cancer and needed a full hysterectomy.Followed by rounds of chemo and radiotherapy, deciding to have egg collection done before treatment, we had 12 eggs collected and fertilised with James sperm, resulting in 6 embryos being frozen (thankfully as treatment sent ceri into early menopause) Throughout all our dispair, we never for a moment considered abandoning our dream of having children. Jayden (James son from a previous relationship) doesnt officially live with us, he spends as much time as possible with us (at least half of the week) and ceri loves him as he is biologically hers.He even calls her mum! We have longed for a sibling for jayden for so long.We would love to be parents to one more child and be given the opportunity to love and nurture a child together from the beginning of his/her life.Surrogacy is a wonderful option for us.we realize how incredibly precious a surrogate mother is, We hope we can share this pregnancy together and remain in contact after birth.We hope to have a warm and friendly relationship together with you and your family during the pregnancy.Hopefully we will be able to have several memorable times together.We want our child to know about you and how generous you are.Our child will be told of the incredible compassion and goodwill between two families that resulted in our child’s birth. This child will have a fun, loving home with two parents who love each other.We will deal with the good and the bad as it comes up.We’ll try not to spoil this child, but since we want the child so much there will probably be a little spoiling. Ceri's parents live close by, and James' a few miles away.There are grandparents eagerly awaiting this baby, and if you agree, to meet you. We offer ...all the love we have, a secure family unit, a huge, loving and welcoming extended family, healthy and committed Mum and Dad, and a big brother too.A secure family situation and home, and unending love and respect for our Surrogate mother and her family. Without your help we will not have a completed family.As parents we are easy going, firm but fair we are an active family we love nothing more than going to the beach and nature reserve with our beloved dogs. We eat a healthy diet but we do indulge In a take out once and a while (apart from James if he is in training poor guy) we love cozy film nights snuggled up on the couch and are the happiest when the three of us are together with our dogs, having another child would truly make our life perfect. One rule that is non negotiatable in our house is evening meals must be eaten as a family, our days can be so hectic with well just being adults we think it's vitally important to sit together every evening and have some quality time and no electronics at dinner either. You are giving more than just the "Gift of Life", as incredibly precious as that is in itself, you would also be in the truly unique position of bringing healing and a new beginning to hearts that we thought would stay broken forever. We hope and pray that you are out there somewhere.That you read our story and that you and your family find us to be "Just Right". Hoping to find you....... James and Ceri X x X
