Melanie, British Surrogate Mother in Cheshire, United Kingdom

Why I want to be a surrogate mother:

My own sister struggled for years to conceive due to her partners infertility. Seeing the pain and heartbreak she went through every month, inspired me to want to help others like her. Now that my family is complete, my husband has had a vasectomy and I'm ready to help other couples start their own families.

Description of myself:

I'm a 33 year old happily married mum to a 4 year old and a 1 year old. I am a healthy person, and am fortunate to have never have suffered anything more than a cough, cold or tummy bug. Both of my pregnancies were complication free. Both were delivered full term, naturally and without any pain relief. My second baby was a water birth. Neither of my children have any health problems. Our home is smoke free and pet free, and I work in an office 9-5.

My letter to intended parents:

I'm happy to go through an agency with you if you prefer. Willing to travel abroad for embryo transfer. I will only help you with host surrogacy, not straight surrogacy, so the child will not be genetically related to me.
