Michelle, American Intended Parent in Riverside, Missouri, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

I was fortunate enough to adopt my amazing son in *** and I am ready to grow our family! Being a Mom has been the hardest and most rewarding challenge I’ve ever taken on! I have so much love in my heart and can’t wait to shower it on another little life. My body isn’t capable of sustaining a pregnancy but I have pre-screened embryos at my clinic a few hours away and hope that one of them is the one to complete our family!

How would you best describe yourself(s):

A friend recently told me, “You are one of the most capable people I know.” My mom handed down that particular skill, and my dad handed down his entrepreneurial spirit; those combined led me to start my own marketing analytics company over 11 years ago.One of the best perks of my job is that I get to work my own hours and that I get to travel the world, a huge passion of mine.Anywhere warm with a beach leads me to immediately jump in, play in the waves, and boogie board.Out of the water, I’ll participate in just about any sport, but the only one I am good enough to get invited back to play on a regular basis is tennis!

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

I believe everyone has a story, and I cannot wait to hear yours.I do not know what brought you here, or where life will take you after, but I know that life is full of surprises and sometimes our greatest fears become our greatest adventures, and our deepest pains can bring the greatest joy.It would give me great joy to write a new little baby into the pages of my book, with your help.
