Samantha, American Surrogate Mother in Akron, Ohio, USA

Why I want to be a surrogate mother:

I want to be a surrogate because I didnt know love until I became a mother.I found out I was pregnant at 18 and walked across the state as valedictorian of my class in high school with my daughter in my belly.Pregnancy, birth and raising a child are some of the most fulfilling and beautiful things to be a part of and watch. I always knew that being a mother was what I was meant to do and I would love to give that to someone else.

My letter to intended parents:

Hello! My name is Samantha.I am 22 years old and currently reside in Northeast, Ohio with my fiancee Michael, (we were high school sweethearts who met the summer of *** we have been inseparable since) 3 year old daughter and 6 year old god-daughter whom I received full custody of last May after her parents became dependent on controlled substances.I am actively looking to become a surrogate and help change someone's life for the better.I have always known from when I was little that my dream job was to be a mother, and I would love to be able to give that to someone else.I graduated in *** as Valedictorian of my class, I then went on to college at the International Culinary Arts and Sciences Institute in Chesterland, Oh.where I graduated with an Associate's Degree in Baking and Pastry sciences.I am a very bright and bubbly person who always has a way of looking at the world with a "glass half full" mentality.As a child, I was always a very happy baby.I loved to play and cuddle.As I grew up, I was always excited about school and learning new things, I always receieved wonderful grades and frequently won academic achievement awards throughout elementary, middle and high schools.At age 4, I was put into gymnastics where I eventually got involved in competitive cheer.Throughout the course of my childhood, I played soccer, softball and lacrosse but cheer was always my favorite.I loved the energy of cheering on a team and the dedication it took to make yourself better.I also was a member of my high schools string orchestra, where I excelled in both Violin and Viola and the school acapella choir.I was rarely sick as a child and remain healthy today.I am very energetic and love spending time with my 3 year old daughter. I am 5 foot, 6 inches tall and I weigh *** have naturally light blonde curly hair and light brown eyes but I have been coloring my hair darker as the season changes.I am not on any form of birth control and my periods come like clockwork. I am currently working from home while raising my 3 year old daughter and 6 year old god-daughter baking and decorating cakes for all occasions.Previously I was employed with Signet Jewelers where I worked in the Special Orders, E-Commerce Merchandising and Customer Relations departments for 3 years. I had a very healthy pregnancy and my daughter was born at 38 weeks weighing 7lbs 1oz with no complications.It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.I went through labor and delivery without any drug intervention.My water broke naturally at 10am on December 3rd, *** and my daughter was born at 7am on December 4th. We went home that evening. I loved being pregnant and took pride in the little life inside of me.I made sure I always had the healthiest, most vitamin enriched foods, I kept myself active and never missed a doctor's visit.She was born with a little bit of dark hair and big blue eyes, but as she grew up her hair became light blonde and she now has big hazel green and brown eyes.She is very smart, loveable and compassionate.She is known as a "mother hen" as she is always looking to help others and has an enormous love for babies.She is also very silly, energetic and loves to make everyone laugh.She is quite a funny little girl but also can be very serious and independent.She doesnt like anyone helping her, she loves to do things herself but will always be the first to help others.She started crawling at 7 months old and was walking and speaking 1-2 word sentances by age 1.She began speaking in full sentances (to where she could be understood by someone who was not around all the time) and became potty trained at around 18 months old.She has never had any abnormal tests, doctors visits or hospitalizations.I have health insurance and I also own a vehical with a valid driver's license.I am willing to travel but my daughters are both in school, grades pre-K and first grade.I am open to both gestational and traditional forms of surrogacy.It has always been in the back of my mind to become a surrogate and I am in a place in my life where I am ready to make that dream a reality.I would love to help someone expand and add love to their families.Being a parent is indescribable, watching and being there for someone so small and dependent as they into their own little person is the most amazing feeling and I want to be a part of making that happen for someone else. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Have a wonderful day!
