Jonathan, British Intended Parent in Abingdon, Virginia, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

I have always wanted a child, but have never been in a relationship where that was possible. Surrogacy looks like the only viable option for having a child. Unfortunately I'm at the age where if I wait much longer, science suggests it might not be good for the child. This puts me in the position where waiting and seeing isn't an option.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

I am a bit of a mix between academic, hill walker and moderately random craftsman. I have a high IQ, for those who care about such things and can trace these traits back three to five generations regardless of path.

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

I hold any surrogate in deep respect, so just relax. I am not asking for some notion of ideal, merely for someone who is willing to give this a go. I have absolutely no "requirements", though for purposes of honest disclosure, I'd prefer information on serious genetic conditions. I regard autism, synaesthesia and the like as relatively mild, what you say about those is interesting but absolutely optional.
