Dennis, German Intended Parent in Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

Obviously we cannot have children without help.We found a great egg donor in Canada, who helped us in the "first chapter" of the journey.And now we are looking for a great surrogate for the "second chapter". We both always wanted children.We talked about it right at the start of our relationship seven years ago and we never let the goal out of sight.Without COVID we would have started earlier.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

We are a German same sex couple.We met seven years ago in *** then Christoph was 28 and Dennis was 35, therefore today we are 35 and 42.We moved together in *** and married in *** Christoph studied business economics and works as a senior project manager in a company providing services to cooperative saving banks. Dennis studied law and has worked as a family lawyer for a couple of years before he was elected mayor of the city we live in. For us it is our weekly routine to go to the local farmer’s market on the market square to shop locally and talk to people. Christoph loves to read historical novels while Dennis never gets tired to read about new developments in the world.We both enjoy gardening a lot.

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

Thanks a lot for your interest in us! We know, that finding a surrogate is not a given. We are looking for a trusting und lasting relationship.It was very important for us to find an egg donor, who was willing to play the role of a "distant aunt", so that the children always know where they came from.Even though the Atlantic ocean will always between us, we are looking for a surrogate as well, who is willing to stay in touch (Christmas, Birthdays, …). In the last three years we refurbished our *** year old building in consultation with the state conservation agency, so that the heart and soul of the house stays intact.Now that we finished that task, we live in a way too big house for just two people: so the nest is built. We hope to be able to fill that nest soon and are looking for a kind-hearted woman, who is willing to help us. Christophs twin-brother and his wife had a beautiful baby boy in May *** and Dennis’ sister has a 18 year old son and a 14 year old daughter, in whose upbringing Dennis was heavily involved since they only live *** meters away.So we know what are getting ourselves into 🙂 Our families support us in every way possible.Dennis’ mother and stepfather live *** meters away, his sister *** meters.Christophs parents are willing to support us, too.Since his mother is retired she already offered to support us heavily especially in the first few months. We have fourteen embryos ready to go (half of them PGT-A-tested)!
