Nicola & Andrew, Canadian Intended Parent in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

Sadly, after a failed round of IVF and a lost pregnancy at 19 weeks we started to think the worst. Surrogacy has inspired new hope for a family. We are loving people who need help making our dreams come true.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

We are Andrew and Nickie Duffett. We are a loving, responsible couple who are young at heart. We met 3 years ago during a cooking class and have been virtually inseparable since. We were married on September 13, *** at our home in Paradise, Newfoundland. We live in a quiet area outside St.John’s, NL on an acre lot on a lake. We love the water so we’re frequently boating, kayaking or fishing on the lake. Nickie’s father lives on the opposite side of the lake so we commonly have family visitors arriving by boat. We share our home with our sweet dogs, Flanagan and Paddy. They are 9 & 7 year old Irish Setters who are so gentle and great with kids. We believe it’s important for children to grow up loving and respecting animals.

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

With your help our children will be nurtured, loved and supported unconditionally. They will certainly be spoiled by their grandparents and have a childhood filled with fun, learning and the scattered grass stain. Thank you so much for your selflessness and consideration.
