Rachel, American Intended Parent in Richmond, Virginia, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

First and foremost, thank you for considering such a remarkable gift. If you are reading this, it means you are considering an amazing journey in both our lives and yours. Words cannot capture the amount of love my husband and I have to give to a child. We have had a very sorrowful path to date working to complete our family. There is no doubt that we have so much to offer to a child. We offer not only a tremendous amount of love but a secure family unit, a loving and welcoming extended family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews -- eagerly awaiting additions to the family), a secure financial situation and home. In addition, we have unending love and respect for our surrogate mother. You are giving more than just the gift of life, you would also be giving us the opportunity to fulfill our most important wish … to be parents.
