Lina, American Intended Parent in Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids right before we met.Which at the time weren’t a big deal.I had two small fibroids, I was 27.Although we married at 29, we were told we had to start trying right away because my fribroids had increased in number and grown excessively.With no luck after a year and a half of trying we decided on a myomectomy to remove the fibroids.They were so large that it had to be done ‘open’ through the abdomen.The procedure was a success and we’ve spent the last 2 years trying everything else.We’ve done clomid for 6 months and 7 rounds of IUI before proceeding to the more expensive IVF.Turns out we needed two rounds because the hormones given could increase the size of my fibroids.2 rounds later we had 5 embryos.June *** we transferred our first embryo which took right away.6 weeks later there was no heart beat on the US; even though my HCG levels and bloodwork looked great.Now it’s October and we have 4 babies left.With all the heartache we’ve been through, we still believe there’s a miracle out there for us.So we’ve decided to see if we can find a wonderful woman/family to help us start ours :)

How would you best describe yourself(s):

Young married couple in love who would like to share our love with a little one.Outgoing, love to travel and have created a home with our two furry boys Victor and Tito to practice for what’s to come.
