Katherine, American Surrogate Mother in Newark, New Jersey, USA

Why I want to be a surrogate mother:

I would like to be a surrogate mother because there are many people who my strive for years to conceive but are unable to. It saddens me because I understand trying to carry out what is to be natural to every woman. It is devastating, hurtful, and I truly and humbly understand how it can take a toll on the people who want nothing more than to experience the joys of parenthood. I would like to extend my love and compassion as a surrogate to help someone/couple who are deserving of a wonderful child.

Description of myself:

As a single mother of two children with autism, I know the difficult it can sometimes be raising a child; however, I also know the beauty, love and joy of bringing a life into the world. I am all about love. I did not have a good childhood and because of that, I promised myself that I would provide my children with the love and care I did not receive. I am a quiet and humble person who enjoys my personal time and space. I am loving, caring, understanding and passionate.

My letter to intended parents:

To the parents: I truly understand and empathize with you. I like to think of things not going the way I want or planned as not being the right time. I also have faith that what I want to transpire will be done in time. So I say to you, be patient....sometimes the things our hearts and souls desire take a while for great reason.
