Intended Parent from Norwood, New York, USA.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
I received radiation treatments for a health condition as a child and my ovaries were damaged. I have had miscarriages because the embryos are missing too many genes to develop. We did multiple rounds of IVF and were able to get 1 genetically perfect embryo. It was always my dream to experience pregnancy and giving birth but during my last IVF round my employer assignd me a flight to Brazil, where I contracted a suspected case of Zika. Since then I have developed an auto immune disease and advised that my body will most likely attack the baby if I carry it. It is heartbreaking to have to be asking someone to do something that I want to do so badly. My husband's family line dies with him and it is important to him to have a biological child.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
I have always wanted to be a wife and mother. If I had my dream life I would have been married at 18 and had 6 kids by 30. I had my heart broken many times trying to find someone who would love me and am so happy to have finally found a loving, honest, good man. I have not been lucky to be able to have children so I dote on my nephews and nieces. I am a flight attendant and have been able to travel all over the world and experience people from many wonderful cultures. It's my dream to be able to raise my child doing international volunteer work for a few weeks every year. I am very active helping people in my church and local community. It is important to me to show my child the purpose of life is how we can contribute and help others around us. To always be kind in words and deeds. My husband also is centered on helping people. He was a nurse for many years but became a doctor to better be able to help people.
