Tiffany, Irish Intended Parent in Los Angeles, California, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

I have severe endometriosis which has caused the loss of both Fallopian tubes and an ovary.I’ve miscarried after getting pregnant once naturally in *** and again in *** after IVF.I know because of how severe my endometriosis is, and being 35, my body probably wouldn’t fall pregnant.I’ve always wanted to experience it more than anything in the world.But I’ve accepted that there’s a different plan for us and I’m welcoming it with open arms if it means we can finally start our family.I think this is definitely the best way for us, and I hope, if you are comfortable with it that we can become close.Having a baby and being a mom is something I’ve always dreamed about.When it didn’t come true, it broke me.Now I have a whole new sense of hope.Again, what you’re doing is remarkable and if this works out, I don’t know how to ever repay you.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

My husband and I have been married for fourteen years.We started trying for a family in *** and have had miscarriages and been through IVF and everything else in the book.But we haven’t let it get us down.We’re a fun loving couple who love to take trips to the beach and mountains.We’re also big on Disneyland.We have a mutual respect for each other and we are honestly best friends.We make each other laugh like no one else and spend many nights dancing in the living room to records.

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

Wow.What a selfless thing you’re doing.You are helping people build families who otherwise couldn’t.For the longest time I gave up.But after I saw a woman at my church be a surrogate mom, and hearing her story, my heart just knew this was the road we should take.I honestly wish I had a working uterus so I could do this for other families.I think it’s the most amazing thing someone can do, and whoever is our surrogate will always be a member of my family (if they want to of course).Again, bless you.
