Michaela, American Intended Parent in Portland, Maine, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

My wife and I cannot have children. I had a child when I was 17 who is now 18 years old heading to college this coming year. It will be sad to see her go for us both. My wife an I are 11 years apart but unfortunately cannot carry children due to her medical condition. A child is something we have always wanted and are at a good place in life now.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

My wife and I are outgoing, caring,loving woman looking to hopefully bring a bundle of joy into our little family sometime soon. We have wanted to add onto our family but,waited until we were financially stable and able to give this beautiful child a wonderful home the way we had.

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

Dear potential surrogate, My wife and I have been together 8 years and are now at a place in life to build our family. My wife cannot have children and I am not so sure about myself either. We have had a hard year between loosing her mother in May who was only 44 and me loosing my Father in September. We have been looking into this for years but always had something get in the way. Well, this is our time now to give our love to a beautiful baby we want to call our own. We are not rich but financially stable with more love to give than anyone could wish for. I look forward to speaking to you wonderful, thoughtful women that take your time to helps us like my wife an I. Thank you again.
