Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
We want to thank you for choosing to walk in this journey with us. Some may say that we should be grateful and that it is selfish of us to try for a baby when we already have three boys. Our journey with children started young. I was 19 when I got pregnant with my oldest son after being told I may never be able to have children due to my endometriosis. We were broke and just getting started in our relationship. My second son came after being required to either have menopause or get pregnant due to a surgery that I had for my endometriosis. After my third son, my insides were so bad that I had to have a hysterectomy. I thought at that point because we had kids young and had 3 boys that I could be at peace with not being able to have any more children. But I can’t it breaks my heart that I was not able to have more kids, to have a baby girl, to be able to make that choice on my own was taken from me and it has haunted me since. It was not until recent years that I researched and considered IVF with Surrogacy. I decided to reach out to an IVF Dr. just to see if it was possible, to see if after what my body had been through were my eggs were even there or good? Turned out it was definitely an option, but then COVID-19 happened. My appointments were pushed out and few between based on government rules and regulations, only women in current pregnancy cycles were allowed to move forward. I thought at that point it was a sign that maybe it was time to give up because now my kids are 2 years older than when I started this, and I saw the emotional toll it took on them, my parents, my husband, and I when it didn’t happen. Though sometimes things happen for a reason and miracles happen. We had scheduled a consult with Dr. Craig but he books far out when it came time for the appointment I told my husband look let's just hear him out if it doesn’t work we have our answer and can be done. He is such an amazing Doctor and was super educated, informative, and let us know right then he saw the struggles still that I was having with my ovaries and hormones but that making a baby was not only possible but that he had no reservations about it being successful at all. We had our answer and he wasted no time. We will have our embaby the week of November 8th, and everyone in the house is lit up like it is Christmas. Looking for you the surrogate is our only missing piece to make our family's dream come true. My reason for telling you all of this is because I want you to know how important this is for us, the struggle we have been through to this point. We are not a rich family, a mom that is having a surrogate because she doesn’t want to ruin her body, we are a family looking for that missing piece, and we are looking for you to help us do that. Thank you for your love, and consideration. The Collins Family
