Intended Parent from Gauteng, South Africa.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
My husband and I have been married for only 7 months. We always knew that having our own kids might be a challenge. I am unable to carry a baby due to a genetic disease. It does not affect my daily life, but the pregnancy will have complications, and we'd rather be safe and responsible.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
I am a very curious person and spent 10 years travelling the world, living in cultures different from my own and trying to experience life in its fullness. I moved back to SA but still make time to travel and explore. I enjoy the outdoors and try to spend time in nature, hike or camp whenever possible. My husband is a true philosopher and loves discussing ideas, not people. He is one of the most caring people I know and has a kind and gentle nature. We both enjoy reading and enjoy quiet time without crowds of people.
Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
I think that there are not enough words to express the gratitude we feel towards someone willing to help out others who are on the journey of becoming a mum or dad.
