Jennifer, American Surrogate Mother in Auburn, Washington, USA

Why I want to be a surrogate mother:

I want to be a surrogate because I would like to give the gift of parenthood to someone who truly wants it.

Description of myself:

Overall, I would say that I am a focused, kind, determined and caring person.

My letter to intended parents:

Dear Intended Parents, I'm 21 years old. I am a non-smoker, a hard worker, and very excited to meet you. I almost never drink, and my idea of a "fun night out" is a 7:00 movie. I know it isn't easy to be in your situation. I know it isn't fair that you, someone who wants nothing more than a little bundle of joy, have been denied that simple life happiness by your body or situation. I can only imagine how long and painful the journey to this point has been, and frankly, I admire your strength. I want to be your partner. I want this to be a group effort, not a business transaction. I hope you intend to be involved in the birth and pregnancy, as I hope to be sending you daily updates on your little angel. I am not here to be a "womb for rent"-I am here to provide your tiny little one with a safe and loving place to grow until he or she (or they) are ready to be held in your arms. I want to commend you for your motivation and strength, and I want to thank you for your trust and love. I greatly look forward to seeing the beauty we can all create together. Love, Jennifer.
