Lori, American Surrogate Mother in Manito, Illinois, USA

Why I want to be a surrogate mother:

I have not been a surrogate before but would really like to experience pregnancy one last time before it's too late for me.I would also really like to help a family.I am adopted myself so helping someone else complete their own family is close to my heart.

Description of myself:

Hi.I am 40 years old.5'2" and *** lbs.so BMI about 26? Mother of 3 kids.They are 22,19, and 14.They were all normal easy vaginal deliveries.I also have a 6 year old soon to be stepson. Additional info... Hi...I am interested in being a TS or GS however I have a couple things working against me.I just turned 41 years old and my youngest child is 14 years old.Currently I am taking an antidepressant of Prozac for depression/anxiety that I began a year ago.I tried to ween off so that I might be able to work with an agency, however, I don’t think I will be able to go completely off of an antidepressant.I fear that these things will keep me from being able to help someone complete their family, however I wanted to try reaching out to see if anyone is interested in trying to work with me or for some advice. About me... I am a 41 year old mother of 3.They are 22, 19, and 14.I also have a 6 year old soon to be step son.My family is complete, however I would really like to experience pregnancy one last time while helping someone else in their journey to become a parent. I was adopted since birth and raised by a wonderful loving mother who was unable to carry a pregnancy to full term.6 years ago I found my biological family and have since formed some very special relationships with many members of that family.I have been blessed with having a wonderful experience by being able to add my already complete family. I became particularly close to one cousin who is a few years older than me.We had similar interests and children of similar ages.In *** he became very ill and due to complications from his diabetes, he went into kidney failure and required a kidney transplant.I volunteered to be tested and was eventually found to be a match and suitable donor.In January of *** I gave him a kidney and we are now both doing amazing and living normal healthy lives! In June of this year, I lost my wonderful mother after a unbelievably short fight with a very aggressive and fast growing lung cancer.She was an amazing woman who gave up so much to be fantastic mother to me! She wanted so badly to be a mother and she did a better job than anyone could asked for.I am forever grateful that my biological family chose to put me in her loving hands to raise. I have such a strong desire to help someone complete their own family.I was blessed to be able to easily have my own family but there is a huge place in my heart for those who are unable to do this on their own, just as my mother was unable.If there is any possibility that I could do this for someone, I would really love to be able to try.
