Intended Parent from New York, New York, USA.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
We have gone thru a very long journey that has led us here. I have systemic Lupus which has prevented me from continuing all 4 of my previous pregnancies. I have never let anything bring me down, I like to stay strong and focused during hardship and stay very postive.I have stayed very positive thru this experience, and to me the most important thing is to finally have my child in my arms no matter how he/she comes to us.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
My husband and I have been married for nearly 5 years. We live a very modest life, and we are a very loving 'young and heart' kind of couple. My husband is my best friend and he inspires me in so many ways. He is very active with his triathlons and sports. I'm not active like my husband, but I enjoy taking barre classes and occasionally yoga. Because I have some sensitivities I have a clean and healthy diet, I eat as much organic as possible and I'm gluten intolerant so gluten free for me. We enjoy having dinner with friends. We are very light drinkers, we don't smoke, and don't do any drugs. Neither one of us is religious. We are very open minded couple, easy going, and let life take control of our destiny,but we like to take control of what we can do to help with that journey. We are very responsible, we are loyal, honest, compassionate, caring, reliable, considerate, thoughtful, passionate, loving, open, love animals, positive, humanitarian, love our friends, family orientated, a team, social, on top of things, organized (my husband more than me), We are not conservative socially or politically, although we don't mind if you are unless you are conservative religiously only because we may want to reduce if there are complications with pregnancy, or more than triplets, etc.
Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
e would like to take this journey with a surrogate that we can build a nice relationship with a strong support system. We feel that it should be a partnership a friendship that is built on honesty, respect, and trust. We would like to be involved thru the journey with our surrogate with most doctors visits if possible, but definitely the important ones. It's important to us that we have open communication and to be able to freely express concerns or feelings. We are not the micromanage couple we like to feel that we can fully trust our surrogate to be responsible, very organized, on top of things, and almost anal retentive (haha), and will do the right thing for the concern of her health and the baby. I would like someone who is very healthy, stays fit, and likes to try to eat organic as much as possible. If your gluten free that's a huge plus, but not necessary. It's important that your family and friends are very supportive of this path you have chosen and will be there if you need them.
