Jean-Pierre, South African Intended Parent in Cape Town, South Africa

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

As a gay couple we're blessed to be able to choose when we're ready to have kids. Sadly, we are disadvantage in that we are unable to birth our own like average straight couples. I would love to find a woman who would carry and birth our baby so that we can too live out our desire of having a family. Children give meaning to your life and can bring you the world of happiness. I look forward to the opportunity to experience just that, it all it's up's and down's.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

I'm a positive spirit with a thirst for always doing better in life. I believe in honest living and spreading love. I enjoy the outdoors and I love spending peaceful time with my partner, just soaking up the bliss of life. I am hard working and goal driven. I am determined to make life a success no matter what that might mean to the world, i have my own measures of success.

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

I cannot go out and have a child like straight people, my journey is a bit different. I have an abundance of love and care to give and the blessing of a child would bring me so much joy. As a gay couple, we get to choose when the time is right and we've never been more prepared to give life to the future. Allow us to bless you as you bless us. We can't choose our family but we can choose our legacy, our legacy is the amount of lives we've touched in this journey of life. Let's touch each other and allow love, life and happiness to breed.
