How are you doing today. First I want to tell you how happy that you are ready to start a family. I know first hand how awesome being a parent is. I have 3 kids of my own. Twins that are 11 and a 5 year old. I am currently a surrogate and due in October. I didn't know that this was going to be my path in life but I heard a message and am following my path. I am a High School English teacher and have a Master's Degree in Curriculum. I was thinking of becoming a counselor or doing something else to help and that is when I met a woman who changed my life. She is a woman who had struggled to give birth. The night I met her I had a dream I had been a surrogate and that is what I am doing. My husband is in the military and very supportive. I am not doing this for financial reasons but because I feel a strong calling to do so. I am strong enough to handle it and everything with this surrogacy is going great. I just want to help out as many people as I can. I am only going to do the surrogacy a couple of more times because it isn't safe to do so afterwards. I live in Glendale, Arizona. I would like to find out your time line. I want my kids to understand that families come from all backgrounds and more importantly it is important to help others. Yes, I am one of those that believe you can change the world one at a time. That's why I teach. Let me know if you would like to talk some more or if you have any questions. I can only be a gestational surrogate because I had my tubes tied and one of my ovaries was infected but everything is fine and I know I can do this. Sorry for the long email and all the information. Look forward to hearing from you soon.
I am married mom with a Master's degree. I have 3 kids. Twins and a 5 year old.
Hello Mindy, I love your profile pic! I'm a journalist and academic based in London, the UK.I'm researching a piece about American military wives who become surrogate mothers and wondered if you'd be available to talk to me about your experiences, on or off the record? I'd be keen to know what attracted you to surrogacy, whether you know any other military wives acting and surrogates and whether being the wife of a military man has affected your choice to pursue surrogacy.Warmly,
