Pat, Thai Surrogate Mother in Franklin, New Zealand

Hi Pat
Hi there :) We are a couple in our 30s from Melbourne. We have been longing for a family (to join our dog Maple) but unfortunately life seems to have had other plans and we are hoping for a miracle surrogate. In the past 2 years, I have experienced 2 miscarriages. The last one was compounded with the worst bout of hyperemesis gravidarium my GP and OB-GYN said they had seen in their careers. I was off work, nauseous 24/7, lost 10kg in a month, had 5 fillings, hospital visits, malnutrition, hydration, severe depression and muscle weakness. I was so unwell it has been deemed unsafe for me to be pregnant again. This was on top of a horrible 2 years - my dad passed, my aunt passed, our wedding was cancelled twice, I was made redundant, we had about 8 or 9 holidays cancelled, and of course like everyone, the backdrop of Covid. In better times, we love both thinking we are The Funny One, movies, travel, spending time with family and friends, dressing up the dog (maybe that bit is just me), the beach and matching daggy shirts for any occasion! We would love to start our own little family to come into our warm home of love and laughter, to bring up into a wonderful little person in this world. Thank you for reading xx
