Mauro, Italian Intended Parent in Barcelona, Spain

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

We have chosen to work with a surrogate because we would love to have biological children and do not have any other alternative together. We have learned from our own upbringing and our life experience what we think is important for a child.Parents who are present, active in educating their children. Providing structure and healthy routines with support from grandparents and child educator, where parents’ work commitments require time.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

Our names are Mauro Morando (43) and Haris Hajdarovic (32) Yes, there is a relatively large age gap, but Mauro is the real kid in the relationship. Mauro is Italian, has lived in London for 9 years before moving to Barcelona five years ago. Haris has been living in between Bosnia, his country of origin, and Barcelona since August *** and has recently moved to Barcelona permanently. Mauro is co-owner of a Market Research agency based in London called Brains and Cheek.Mauro has recently started a new business called Opera, a multidisciplinary space combining art gallery, beauty salon and venue for cultural events.Haris studied Business Psychology in Sarajevo and has recently started a post graduate degree in Marketing and Sales in Barcelona. We live in a safe area of Barcelona 10-minute walk from the beach and 10-minute walk from a park and historical center town.This area is called Barceloneta.It’s a healthy environment for anyone to live. Haris is a kind generous loyal beautiful pure soul with a strong moral identity and a lifetime of love to give. Haris is the most caring, the most spontaneous and the most transparent and wears his heart on his sleeves.At the same time Haris is the most intuitive person, nothing that not sincere gets passed him unnoticed.That’s why he’s amazing with children who can only be genuine. Nobody I have ever met is more trustworthy and conscientious than him, nobody has ever deserved more recognition and happiness than him. When I first met him I was immediately captivated by his clever mind and his ability to think independently and question what everyone else does.This has allowed me to see things again with a fresh pair of eyes and rediscover what I have wanted from life but I had lost hope I could have. Although young, Haris is very mature and ready to commit and build something important with his life.Haris comes from an unfair difficult background and has learned about life the hard way. This has taught him to appreciate what is really important in life and has prepared him to bring up a child in the best possible way. Mauro is the kind of guy you will love at first.Beautiful, funny, simple with always his laugh on his face.My baby tiger is the smartest person I have ever met, and that is not the best thing he’s carrying in himself.I fell in love with him because of simplicity and his ability to stay young forever.Everytime I see him walking with me always on my right side, every time he speaks he laughs I look at his eyes in these moments and I see a reflection of his ten-year-old pure soul which he expresses in very honest and spontaneous way.He’s also a little bit messy, he forgets things, locks his house without taking his keys or even worse not realizing he actually had his keys J.He’s my soulmate, my companion, the richest and fulfilling soul I met.He has the ability to recognize the best in people and he always pulls this out of them. We love to watch funny sit-coms such and thought-provoking movies.Our favorite TV show has always been Modern Family.We have watched all the Ice-Age movies and cannot wait until the next one.We like to visit new places, observe and talk about human behaviour creating our own interpretation of random people we cross path with.We like to talk.We can talk about everything.We are two analytical minds.We like to play guitar, more like Mauro likes to play guitar and sing pretending he’s famous and Haris is obliged to applaud his performance. We like music.Haris has got a sophisticated taste in classical, niche instrumental music while Mauro likes commercial mainstream top-40 tunes.We like to go into the nature and look at the animals and see what they do, what they may think, creating the imaginary dialogue they may have.We like to go to museums to stimulate our minds, although it never always works.Sometimes you get bored and tired.Other times, it is actually engaging and it brings your mind to think about something that would have never crossed your mind eliciting interesting conversations.It’s always worth a try. Mauro works from home between business trips while Haris will be based in Barcelona.At least the first year to adapt to this new phase of life in the best possible way.It’s going to be a clash between order and chaotic mess and creativity. Two grand-parents would be around to help and support.We do not have any other children. Thinking about the time period while children are still not capable to decide, ideally, we don’t want to preclude opportunities for our children to meet their surrogate mother should they wish so and we would like to keep open to this possibility for our children to choose.We would then think it would be good for the surrogate mother to be in contact

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