Katan , Australian Intended Parent in New South Wales, Australia

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

We have four “wishes on ice” frozen and awaiting a beautiful woman to help us give one of them the gift of life, and for Warren and I to become parents together. I also have 40 frozen eggs from my 30s from which we will create more embryos if needed. I am willing to share my fertility challenges, but won’t harp on them on this short message. We recognize what a generous gift a surrogate is giving and how that gift increases the collective good in the world. We would be open to all sorts of arrangements at your preference: shipping embryos to near you, or if you would prefer, bringing you for a trip to Aus for transfer.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

Bula from Fiji and Sydney ! We are Warren and Kala and would love to find a surrogate ! We are Australian, but have both lived overseas and called lots of places home ! Warren has tourism businesses - a small watersports resort in Fiji and a place in New Zealand. I was doing a range of international policy work – I started my working life as a lawyer - living in the US and Asia before we met over 5 years ago. Covid brought us back to the beautiful beaches of Sydney, Australia, and so for now we stay in between Fiji and Aus. We have nieces and nephews we adoreWarren has an 18 year old daughter. We are active, outdoorsy, healthy, and fun.

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

Ideally, we would find a surrogate in Australia or New Zealand, because our embryos are in Qld and Sydney. We feel we could comfortably become close to our surrogate in an international journey because we are so familiar with overseas relationships with close friends and family. But, I would also be willing to temporarily locate overseas if we all agreed that was best for the team journey.
