Carolyn, American Surrogate Mother in Lindon, Utah, USA

Why I want to be a surrogate mother:

***(I am looking for a family that lives close to me so they can be apart of it as much as possible).**** Since having kids, I've felt I was supposed to help another couple have their own children. I'd love to get to know you and your family to see if we are a good match. My labors are pretty quick, so I'd prefer the IPs to be close by so they can be as much a part of the birth as possible.

Description of myself:

I've been happily married for 12 years now. We've been able to have 5 kids (Ages: 11, 10, 8, 5, & 3). My pregnancies and labors are easy and enjoyable. I generally have 9 lb children, but they are always healthy (never had gestational diabetes). I have had 6 pregnancies. My second pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage at 9 weeks gestational (fetus was 6 weeks along). I had 4 healthy children afterward.

My letter to intended parents:

When we got pregnant with our own children, we either got pregnant the first month we tried, or while we were trying to not get pregnant (using barrier methods only). I feel that it's important to say that we got pregnant EXTREMELY easily with all of my children. I have never done IVF, but I assume I'll get pregnant easily with that too.
