Intended Parent from Norfolk, Virginia, USA.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
The reason we need a surrogate is that at age 35 I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that causes kidney problems. Unfortunately for me, my kidneys failed only 6 months later. I spent 4 years on hemodialysis while waiting for a kidney I finally received one on 8/1/2020! What a blessing it had been. I can't have my own baby because of the lofe long rejection medication I need to take to make sure I can live a normal life. These medication cause terrible and fatal birth defects. I need another woman who is gracious enough to help us realize our dream of having a family
How would you best describe yourself(s):
Our names are Leo and Emily and we have had an amazing fairy tale relationship. We met 8 years ago when I went to my brother's wedding in the Dominican Republic. While relaxing on the beach, this young handsome man asked me if I'd like a drink. Then he climbed a palm tree like a monkey and brought down a coconut. He hacked away at it until it was green and then made a mixed drink with the milk inside of it. Then he got a straw and used the straw paper and shaped it into a heart. We've been together ever since. We're best friends who love adventure and challenges. We flirt with each other everyday and make each other laugh at the silliest things. We have 2 beautiful and sweet dogs. My husband is his own boss, and I tutor math and English. We would love to have a baby and grow our family. It would be a dream come true for us and we know we can give a child a happy and fulfilling life.
Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:

I would love to be your friend if you want or intefere in your life as little as you want. I praise you for your graciousness. I can't wait to meet you! Emily & Leo
