Shilpa, Indian Intended Parent in Lansing, Michigan, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

Shilpa has a physical medical condition that makes having children very difficult, with high probability to have complications with the pregnancy. Due to this the risk it poses to carry the child herself, we are looking for different alternatives,.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

We are a young hard working fun loving couple, who very much want a family. We have 2 nieces and 2 nephews that we adore, and would very much like to have children of our own. Shilpa (wife) works with children with autism everyday , and loves her job and being able to interact children of various ages. Mal (husband) grew up with 2 sisters, and it changed his world when he met his two nephews. We have a lot of love to give, and hope we can pass that on to our children, to bring additional happiness and purpose to our lives.

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

To whomever is reading this, we are in the portion of our lives where we are both financially settled and have a loving home to offer our child. Both of us grew up with loving families, and wish to extend ours. Like everyone our dream life is the picket fence and a family to grow old with. We have got the picket fence and the means to support a family, and are now ready to enter that stage in our lives,. We both experienced our parents give everything they had to their children, and we want to do the same. We have a lot of love in our hearts, and would like nothing more than to share that with a child of our own. We have spent the beginning parts of our lives preparing an environment, to ensure our child has a wonderful home life, and plenty of love and affection. Both of us have a strong affinity for children, and our hoping to share that love with a child of our own. We have explored a lot of different options, and have found that this is the best option for us, due to a condition my wife has. It breaks her heart that she can not carry the child herself, and she has always dreamed of being pregnant. Without that option, gestational surrogacy is the best avenue for us. We will care and love this child more than a couple of sentences on this page can describe. It is our dream, our goal, and what we have been preparing for during the course of our lives. I wish I could show you or explain how much we would love our child, but nothing we can say will properly convey that. Please know we live clean and healthy lives, have a clean and safe home, and both have good flexible jobs that will not only allow us to provide the proper care, but also plenty of time to spend doting, and being incredibly active in their lives. The environment we grew up in, set the foundation for us, and set the bar very high on how important family is, it is the most important thing in life. Without our families, I am not sure where we would be, and we would like to have that same opportunity with our own family. Thank you for taking the time to read this, we would be more than happy to answer any and all further questions.
