Zheng, British Intended Parent in London, United Kingdom

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

Francesco and I have been together for 5 years, we are in our late 30s, have travelled and read a lot, and would like to settle down and have a family. We both love spending time with children and having our own is a common dream for us. We want to discover the world afresh through a child's eye, and give someone unconditional love and put our patience to the ultimate test at the same time! :D. We would enjoy the company of a little one. At the same time, we don't expect much in return as he/she is free to discover the world by him/herself and live life to the full when they grow up. We would love to have a surrogate who is based in UK, so we could be part of the pregnancy journey.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

Hello (wave)! We (Francesco and Zheng) are a same-sex couple who have been together for 5 years, we live together in London and are in a stable, enduring and loving relationship. Francesco is an area hotel manager, who is very patient in looking after his team and customers. He is from Sicily, and that makes him the master chef at home. He holds a master degree in tourism management and has been in UK for more than 6 years. Zheng works in audit and finance, and is also passionate about interior design, yoga, meditation and coaching. He is originally from Harbin in China (the ice & snow city), and has been living in UK for 15 years and holds a doctoral degree. We both love travelling, having friends over for dinner, and walking in the nature. We are compassionate and slightly more on the introversion and quiet side. Saying that, we are very honest and open in sharing our voices and express our thoughts and emotions. There is courage in showing vulnerability. We are both very giving and believe in altruism and love to give back to the society and people in need. This year we did a charity run in Richmond park and raised more than £1k for Children in Cancer UK. We would love to meet someone who would like to be part of the journey ideally in UK, and welcome people to get in touch just for a chat. Nameste, Zheng and Francesco

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

Thank you for reading our profile, we hope what you read so far resonates with you, and is also what you are looking for to generously give and donate. We are a respectful and responsible couple (not to mention good host and cook), and would hugely appreciate someone who is doing this from a generous and kind heart. We'd like to get to know the donor/surrogate (and partner and family if you see as necessary) for one or two month first, to build the friendship first and see how the chemistry is going, before agreeing the arrangements. We also understand it is your body and you have every right in deciding what would work and not work for you upfront. We would also welcome a flexible and considerate person, who would only compromise when necessary and within reasons. There could be unforeseeable scenarios along the way and we do want to discuss this with you (and partner) together and find a mutual ground that works for both of us. We would appreciate genuine, authentic and honest opinions, as we will provide the same. We have agreed that Zheng would be the biological father of the child. Ideally for a surrogate, you have children of your own. We look forward to form a team with a loving altruistic person, who is fun and calm, and ideally someone who could keep in touch for the rest of our lives (if you want to of course :) ). Please do feel free to send us a message and ask any questions you have in mind.
