Brandon, Spanish Intended Parent in Southlake, Texas, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

GEEZE, this such a loaded question. A surrogate would be a dream come true. For two men to have a child, there are so many obstacles for us to face, and the one person who can provide a life long dream to come true is a surrogate. A surrogate would make our wishes come true and allow us to hold the title that we have longed for.....Dada and Papa!

How would you best describe yourself(s):

We have been together for seven years. We’ve spent most of that time building the foundation of our lives as a couple. We enjoy date nights, traveling, cooking at home, nights on the couch, and spending time with our friends and family. As previous foster parents, we were occasionally blessed to provide babysitting for other foster families when needed. We spend evenings by the pool or in the yard with our dog, Dax, and on the couch with Natasha, our cat. Jake enjoys cooking, home projects, fitness, and working on his cars. Brandon’s hobbies include the gym, bike rides, and working in the yard. He also spends time advocating for children in foster care. Jake is a VP in the healthcare industry and has enjoyed working in the same sector for the past 14 years. Brandon is a VP in oral surgery and has been in dentistry for the last 12 years.

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

First of all, we bow down to you! To decide that you want to provide for another couple is a god send. You are brave, and you deserve nothing but the best. The most important thing we can say is thank you for considering making our dreams come true! We wanted to each say a few heartfelt words here, so the below comments are from us individually. Jake to you: Growing up, I came from an extremely tight-knit family but, early in life, never felt the urge to have children of my own. I’ve focused much of my life on growing myself, both as an individual and within my career. Having the opportunity to foster a child for a year completely changed my perspective. I never imagined I would be able to love another human so deeply. Being a foster dad was my greatest accomplishment in life. Understanding how difficult this decision must be for you, words cannot express how thankful I am for you considering granting me that opportunity again. – Jake (Dada) From Brandon to you: I know there must be a whirlwind of thoughts in your mind as you try to make the best decision for you. As a young boy, I knew I wanted to be a father, and this has been my ultimate goal in life. Granting me the opportunity to provide cuddles, kisses, and even diaper changes would make my dream a reality. – Brandon (Papa
