Anto, Canadian Intended Parent in Madrid, Spain

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

I am a 35yo single IF. Having my own family has always been my greatest dream. Unfortunately, things haven't been easy in this sense, for me. I do not have a partner and I am HIV+ (although undetectable and otherwise completely healthy), therefore my dream of becoming a dad seems to be at the end of a very long and winding road. However, I know that my child is there, at the end of that road, waiting for me to hold them in my arms, to nurture them, to give them all the love and care that they will ever need, for the rest of my days!

How would you best describe yourself(s):

Emotionally and financially, I will be able to take care of the baby (I have a secure job, being a professor at a higher education institution, I am a cultivated individual, who speaks 9 languages including Chinese, Turkish and Russian).Besides, I have a wonderful social network around me, including my retired, but still young and healthy parents that have already shown me their unconditional support.

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

Dear donor & surrogate, Thank you for taking the time to read my words.Despite sperm washing being a completely safe technique (as per scientific data *** I completely understand that many GS would not be comfortable with carrying an embryo produced using the semen of an HIV+ individual.Therefore, and since I believe that my child will be my child not necessarily because he/she is genetically related to me, but because she/he was born out of the love I had for them even before they were born and out of the compassionate and loving help of great people, I am also open to fulfilling my dream with donated sperm+egg donor or with embryo donation.
