Joseph, American Intended Parent in Los Angeles, California, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

We've traveled all around the world. We've lived in different countries. We've had many adventures and lots of fun. At this point in our lives, we're resting to create a more 'whole' family unit. Working with children every day is very rewarding however, raising a child is life changing and we believe that it'll be for the better.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

My partner and I are American and Chinese. We live in LA and Tokyo (but hope to reunite soon). Every summer & winter (pre-COVID) we spend our breaks traveling as well as visiting family in San Diego. We are ready for a new addition to our family.

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

Dear Surrogate Mother, We are a kind and loving couple that is ready for the next chapter in our lives, the chapter that involves a baby! We have so much love to give and we want to direct that unconditional love and care for our new child. As international educators, our family will have the privilege of knowing an American, & Chinese heritage; not to mention, learn languages, being globally minded and hopefully, appreciate and contribute to the amazing world that we live in... We are open to your ideas and believe that building a relationship with our surrogate is an integral part of this process. We're so excited to meet you and partner with you in this incredible and creative endeavor. Warmly and with love, Joseph & Anqi
