Intended Parent from Schaumburg, Illinois, USA.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
We have been trying for years for a child of our own. I have gone through multiple surgeries, 5 egg retrievals, 11 IVF attempts, and all with little success. I have been pregnant 3 times but have miscarried all three times. They say it take a village to raise a child but I am quickly learning that it too takes a village to achieve one. So, I am reaching out to my village of strong women to help me do what I only wish and pray I could do myself, carry a child.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
My husband and I are both eager to start our family. We love music, attending concerts, and we like to explore new foods. We compliment each other well. I am very organized and task oriented and my husband is laid back and patient. We both are determined to achieve our goals and have worked hard to get where we are today. We love to laugh and most of all, we love spending time with each other. We're close with our families and it's been a hard journey watching our friends and family build and grow their families while we've struggled. But time and time again, we tell each other that this experience has brought us closer together and we can endure anything after going through what we have already.
Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
I have done all that I can humanly do to carry my own child and I am quickly coming to the realization that I need help. I am reaching out and asking for someone to help me build my family. I dream everyday of having children and raising a family with my husband. It's been difficult to accept that I cannot have my own children but the dream of building my family doesn't have to end. I need the help someone experienced and willing to be a carrier for us. We are loving, patient, and ready to start our family, will you help us?
