Ann, British Intended Parent in London, United Kingdom

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

While we had Abigail easily, we have had 4 miscarriages in our attempts for a sibling. We are looking for a gestational surrogate to carry our second child.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

We are a busy and yet quite relaxed professional couple with a lovely 5 year old daughter. I (Anj) am 42 and John is 52. We met late in our lives - but well it was worth the wait. We live in London. We are a close knit family who have created our own extended family in our community. Our belief is that children are born with their own personalities and our job as parents is to nurture them to their full potential. We take great joy and pride in our daughter Abigail who is a boisterous and creative little girl with unending energy and a try-it all attitude. While we are lucky to have Abigail, our hearts still have space for another child and a sibling for Abigail.

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

Dear Tummy - Mummy, We think that you will be giving us a great gift by offering to co-create our child and a sibling for Abigail. We are good people and parents and I hope that we will build a strong relationship on the basis on friendship first. We look forward to having a mutual discussion with you. Due to the legal situation in the UK, we are looking for someone living in the UK only please.
