Michael, German Intended Parent in Mission Viejo, California, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

Eight years ago we posted here and were blessed to meet an amazing TS (who’s happy to provide a reference), who’s blessed us with a beautiful little girl who is now 8 years old. We can’t imagine our life without her and have experienced so much joy. It’s been an amazing journey and miracle for our family, both immediate and extended. Our first surrogate can’t carry another one for us, but she’s generously donating her eggs. Our dream is to expand our family this year and are looking for the right person to begin this exciting journey with us. We are supported by both of our families (in fact each of our two sisters relocated just to be here with us) and we have a tremendous network of loving friends. We desire working directly with our Surrogate (no agencies, please) and creating a win-win situation. Ideally, our GS will be located in California so we can participate in the doctor appointments and support you each step of the way. We look forward to hearing from you! Thank you for taking the time to read this and reply.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

Gay couple dreams of a second baby after already having one amazing surrogacy experience. We are two very proud fathers who are healthy, fun, educated, well-traveled, and loving professional men. We have been together for over 14 years and have an amazing relationship. Our 8-year-old daughter asks every few days when she can become a big sister.

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

Thank you for even being open to the idea of creating a miracle for a family that can't have children! It takes a special woman and an incredibly supportive family. Regardless if we are the right match, thank you for what you are doing. If you work with us, I promise it will be fun and enrich your life in many ways as we embark on this journey together!
