Intended Parent from New York, New York, USA.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
We are looking to match with a gestational carrier for a sibling journey.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
We are intended parents who currently reside in NYC and are looking to do a sibling journey. We are a super down to earth, easy going couple with the best 2 year old in the world. We have had the amazing experience of going through our first journey a couple years ago and understand how wonderful a process it is. We want to complete our family with a sibling for our daughter and hope to find a kind, communicative match.
Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
We are Aron and Brad, and we wanted to start off by truly thanking you for considering us as a potential match. We are so excited to start our sibling journey and truly cannot wait to complete our family. We are so keenly aware of what a gift you are in our process. In anticipation of our hopeful connection, please allow us to share a bit about ourselves. Growing up, both of us always envisioned having a family of our own. Perhaps it was simply innate (that feeling of what you’re meant to do or be) or perhaps it had something to do with being raised by amazing parents and surrounded by wonderful siblings. We’ve also had the awesome privilege of being uncles to our four nephews and two nieces (ages 3 to 11).We have always been part of a gigantic, loving support system, and our familial experience has certainly paved a welcoming path towards us becoming parents. We were so lucky to have had a phenomenal experience with our first surrogate, and thus, we have had our lives forever changed since the birth of our daughter in *** We always knew we wanted a second child and had a plan set up with our surrogate to make that happen. Unfortunately, after multiple failed transfers, we all ended up very disappointed to learn that our surrogate is unable to carry our second child. We have now decided to forge ahead towards a new match, with much experience under our belt and with the hope that we will have as solid a relationship as we did with our first surrogate. The two of us met nearly 10 years ago – both in our late 20’s at the time - we knew what we were looking for, and we were so lucky to have found a kindred spirit in the other. On our very first date, we talked about our individual desires to have children, and it wasn’t too long before we were able to imagine starting a family together. We got married in July *** surrounded by our family and friends. I think we were married for about 10 minutes before we started getting questions about kids! We started taking steps to ready ourselves for our first process not only financially but also emotionally and logistically as well. Looking back, in many ways we followed a very conventional path – first marriage, then a suitable home, and then, welcoming our first child into the world. We are now more than ready for our second! We truly couldn’t be more excited to add a second child to our family. Thank you for considering us. Thank you for getting to know us. And thank you for making the creation of our family possible.
