Jenna, American Intended Parent in Janesville, Wisconsin, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

We have 2 PGS tested embryos, looking to transfer 1. We would not want to terminate and would love our baby regardless of anything. I had to have a hysterectomy years ago due to PCOS and endometriosis. After completing two rounds of IVF and egg retrievals, having an emergency surgery from ovarian torsions due to IVF (where I almost lost an ovary) and bed rest for almost 2 months, we retrieved 50 eggs total. Of those, we have 2 PGS healthy tested embryos ready for a chance at life

How would you best describe yourself(s):

We are a super fun, loving family who love the outdoors and going on frugal adventures as often as possible to make memories! I am an 8th grade math teacher and my husband works in agriculture. We do not drink, smoke, or do drugs. All I wanted to be when I grew up, was a mom. When I was 16, I was told it was likely I couldn't have any children due to PCOS and the scarring the ruptured cysts caused. Luckily, I was blessed to have three children in a previous marriage and my current husband has been amazing with the kids and loves them as his own. They are our whole world! We would love to have a child together and surrogacy is our biggest dream! This baby will be so loved and given so much attention! Every day, we all talk about how much we can’t wait for this baby to arrive.

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

We are IP’s from southern WI looking for a serious GC in a surro friendly state that is preferably (not a must) within 10 hours of us. We are needing someone with surro friendly insurance and are only looking to match independently. Hoping for comp in 15-20k ballpark. We are looking for: Someone who is truly doing this to complete someone’s family. Hopefully this becomes a friendship. Someone that has done their research! Surro friendly insurance and fits our ballpark comp. We want to be in the room (somewhere) for the birth and be very involved with updates. Someone who is willing to care for our baby and keep him/her safe until we can. We just want good communication and would love to be at as many appointments as possible. We wouldn't want any surro to just feel like an incubator. We promise to make the experience as comfortable and FUN as possible. •Healthy (BMI under 30), non smoking women age 21-35. • Mentally healthy (not on anxiety or depression meds) • Stable life (not on government/state aid) and good social support system in place. • No uterine anomalies. • No history of miscarriage. • Previous successful pregnancy and raising her own children. • Able to self-administer subcutaneous and intramuscular shots. • Dependable and able to adhere to medication and appointment schedule. • Passes all screening criteria: drug free and std free. (Carrier and partner) • Lives in a state where being a carrier is recognized and supported by laws in that state. I am convinced the right GC is out there to add to a little miracle to our family!! Let me know if that could be you! Thanks!
