christopher, American Intended Parent in Harker Heights, Texas, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

My wife and I have wanted a child of our own so badly, but the fact of our situations preclude any safe alternatives. We both were so focused on serving our country that we suffered irreparable damage in the area of reproduction. We do not blame anyone or want a pity party, we are simply looking for a chance to fulfill our dreams of having our children and raising them to be responsible citizens of their state and watching them grow to their potential

How would you best describe yourself(s):

My wife, Cindy and I are military service members. My wife has retired from the Air Force after 20 yrs of service and I am currently an Active Army Bomb Squad Technician. I was an Infantryman for 6 years before joining the army bomb squad. Our careers have cost us dearly and the side effects of service for us were severe. My wife suffered severe complications during her last pregnancy and miracously survived as well her daughter. I contracted Malaria during a humanitarian aid mission to Uganda and the resulting fevers damaged my sperm count. We love each other deeply and have helped each other through the worst of imaginable situations. Despite the odds we have always come out on top, except with fertility. Without advances in science it would be impossible for my soulmate and I to conceive a child. We are hoping to find a helping soul to assist us in creating our family.... Christopher and Cindy Leonard
