Patrick, American Intended Parent in Salem, Massachusetts, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

My husband and I have always wanted to have children of our own.Our journey to grow our family started roughly two years ago when we pursued domestic adoption while living in Chicago.After many months and a pandemic of waiting, we weren’t able to find a good fit, which was disappointing.We’ve since moved to Salem, MA in Summer, *** to live closer to family.At this point we have decided that surrogacy is going to be a better fit for us.We understand that the surrogacy journey is long and not without its obstacles, but we will stop at nothing to have a family of our own.We are excited to embark on this journey!

How would you best describe yourself(s):

We have been married for 6 years and together for 11.Patrick works as a psychologist and Mike works in HR.We have been preparing to grow our family for several years and have the necessary resources to carry out this journey (contacts, attorneys, pharmacy, and facilities, etc.).We feel lucky to have amazing and supportive families and friends, and we spend as much time as possible with them.We consider ourselves to be a very loving, compassionate, and selfless couple.

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