chelsey, Eastern European Surrogate Mother in Cleveland, Oklahoma, USA

Why I want to be a surrogate mother:

Humbling experience. I feel like my children would gain insight to the extraordinary possibilities this life has to offer. I can't imagine a greater demonstration of love.

Description of myself:

Friendly. Balanced. Optimistic. Outgoing. Driven. Thoughtful. Often funny. I love scary movies and thrillers that keep you guessing. Current favorite Silver Linings Playbook (not a scary movie, but it's an uplifting story with life turning sour then happy summed up in 1hr and 45 mins). I enjoy running and yoga, I love being outside but I also love being a homebody and enjoying a good book (Gillian Flynn binge lately...). :)

My letter to intended parents:

Well hello stranger. I first want to congratulate you and wish you the best of luck during this journey! I'm on my first surro experience, so I'm still learning the possibilities. I feel like I would best be suited for someone or a couple who is open to whatever relationship develops during this journey. I don't want to put pressure on a relationship as intimate as this one can be. With that I really just have one major request/expectation for my IP/IPs. I want my kids and myself to be able to hold the baby after delivery and allow them to meet the parent(s) of the baby who "borrowed" mommy's tummy. I am warmly open to keeping in contact with shared holiday cards or baby milestones, but I understand the imposition that could become. So again, congratulations and warm wishes as you explore this journey!
