Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

Lana unfortunately had to undergo a partial hysterectomy in *** due to uterine fibroids that has left her with only ovaries.We are currently going through IVF in attempt to retrieve her eggs to use to make embryos.We are looking forward to a successful IVF cycle in the near future and are seeking a physically and mentally healthy, grounded and loving surrogate to help make our dreams come true.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

We are a fun-loving, grounded, nurturing, positive and committed couple looking to share all the love we have in our hearts with our very own baby. We have been married for 4 years and are looking forward to our dream of becoming first-time parents coming true. In our free-time we enjoy spending time with family, cooking, gardening and watching game shows.

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

To our Wonderful Surrogate Mother, We want to start off by thanking you for the selfless act that you have chosen to take to help make the longing desire of parenthood a reality for us. It takes a very special woman to be willing to utilize her body, time and energy to carry a baby for someone else and we are grateful beyond words. We are looking to hopefully start the process of an embryo transfer around May or June of *** and are seeking a gestational surrogate who is moral, healthy physically and mentally, generally happy and positive. We would prefer a surrogate in the USA but are willing to travel for the right surrogate. Surrogate must be willing to eat a healthy and nutritious diet, not be a smoker and be willing to not consume alcohol during pregnancy. If this sounds like you, we would love to speak with you soon to see if we are a good match for surrogacy. You may reach out to us at the contact information shown on our profile. We look forward to partnering with you on this new venture towards parenthood!
