Minh, American Intended Parent in Houston, Texas, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

My ex-wife and I suffered a miscarriage in 2009. Our marriage failed shortly thereafter. Since 2014 I have been searching without success for a life partner or a co-parenting partner. My most recently relationship lasted one year. My girlfriend at the time had grown children and wanted no more. My sister suggested using a surrogate, which at this point is the best and most sensible option.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

My friends say that I am cheerful, kind, generous, and smart. I am Vietnamese-American who was raised in America. I am educated to the graduate level with a master's in engineering. I work for The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center as a systems analyst. I am financially secure with a comfortable home in the suburbs. I am well traveled, having visited six continents and came within a few hundred miles from Antarctica. I'm a foodie. I am also an open-minded and optimistic person. I have completed fertility testing. My semen analysis came back basically normal. Morphology could be improved through dietary supplements. I lead a healthy and active lifestyle. I wish to convey my love of physical fitness and learning to my child.

Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:

I appreciate the emotional and physical toll of carrying a baby full term. I will be grateful for the gift of an offspring. I have the support of family and friends. The child will be loved and cared for. I have one niece who is mixed Caucasian and Asian. She would love to have another cousin.
