Intended Parent from Deerfield, Illinois, USA.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
I was beyond CRUSHED to learn that I could not safely carry my own pregnancy years ago, due to an autoimmune disease. I was diagnosed at age 13 and I am now almost 32. For 18 years, I have successfully managed to avoid a flair up and take excellent care of myself. Sadly, my doctor's have warned me extensively that going off my daily medication for a pregnancy would be too dangerous for me and the baby. Our heartache was simply unbearable. It took one AMAZING GS to lift away the dark clouds! For both parties, the entire journey was the most AMAZING thing we could ever be a part of. Although, our first GS wanted so badly to try for round #2, she was unable to get clearance.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
Compassionate, loving and loyal. We thrive off of seeing others laugh and smile and try to be "glass half full" people. Family is extremely important to us.
Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
Dear potential GS, Surrogates are like superheros, only better! We are eager to "click" with a special someone who can help us complete our family with one more child.
