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

Dear amazing potential surrogate- Our family of four would love to become a family of five with your help. We are grateful for your consideration, and excited to perhaps begin a journey with you that we can’t begin to imagine. A few years ago i was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder that is easily managed with simple bloodwork, but is dangerous to deliver a child with due to potential excessive blood loss. Our two daughters fill our hearts everyday and we’ve always yearned for a larger family to share experiences and joy with. Recently we’ve decided to take the journey into IVF and are seeking a surrogate to make our dream come true. Words can’t express the genuine selflessness that you are demonstrating simply by reading this letter, let alone potentially becoming a surrogate for us. We are hardworking, honest and playful people who truly hope to learn more about you.
