Intended Parent from Ontario, Canada.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
We have had 5 IUIs, 7 IVF cycles and 2 chemical pregnancies with our current clinic. We got a second opinion from another clinic and after the doctor looked through my file, he told us to start looking into surrogacy. A colleague of his was conducting a study whereby he scored the uterus based on ultrasound measurements and pictures of the uterus, then puts the numbers into an algorithm to get a 3D print of the uterus. He then scores it out of 10. Anything under 4 is highly unlikely for implantation. My uterus scored a 2.5. So here we are, starting to look for a surro. I have reached out to my friends and family and even though my sister has offered to carry for us, she is not an ideal candidate. She has had 1 chemical pregnancy, a miscarriage at 10 weeks and went into premature labour at 6 months where she lost her little girl. None of my friends have offered to help us create a family of our own. Everyone else knows and are keeping an ear out for me but at this point we are depending on the generosity of strangers.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
We are a loving, affectionate, married couple of 6 years, living in Toronto. We are open minded, accepting, respectful, fair, honest, loyal and enthusiastic about being parents one day. We are so family-oriented that we are determined to have a family of our own. I work as an Instructor Therapist, teaching children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. People would probably describe me to be nurturing, compassionate, and patient because of the work that I do. I'd like to think I am all those things but it's easy to be them when I love the work that I do. I love the kids that I work with because I'm rewarded everyday with their little successes. My husband is an intelligent, kind, hard working, thoughtful, generous and sensitive man whom works for the government.
Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
Dear potential surrogate, We are a loving professional couple in our mid-thirties living in Toronto.For the past 6 years our infertility was unexplained.Even after 5 IUIs, 7 IVF cycles, 2 chemical pregnancies and several specialists we still hoped that I would be able to carry our baby and we could become parents.However, our doctors have informed us that despite having healthy embryos I will be unable to maintain a pregnancy.We are now hoping to find that special someone that can help us carry our baby and fulfill our dreams of becoming parents. We are looking for someone who is responsible, healthy, a non-smoker and within a reasonable travel distance to Toronto.Ideally, you have children of your own delivered without complications and a good network of support.We hope to build a relationship with this kind and generous person and would welcome her into our close-knit family. If you feel this could be you, please get in touch with us at *** We look forward to hearing from you and beginning this new journey together. Sincerely, Mr and Mrs CG.
