Intended Parent from Ontario, Canada.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
I am unable to carry children due to severe Asherman's syndrome. We had been trying to conceive since about 2016 and went through IUI and IVF over several years. I did get pregnant with twins but it only lasted a few weeks and then we had the painful experience of learning that I had lost them. Long story short, I developed Asherman's Syndrome after the loss of the twins and we have to rely on surrogacy to make our dreams come true.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
My husband and I have been together for over 20 years. After all these years, we are still each other's best friends! We are open-minded, caring, considerate, and down-to-earth. We've had a successful careers in tech and love helping others. We love to hike and go on road trips with our kind-hearted dog of 6 years, and our curious little boy who we were blessed with from another surrogate. We would love to give our son a sibling to grow up with!
Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
First and foremost, THANK YOU for being a surrogate. You are giving someone the greatest gift that they could ever receive! I know it's a hard choice to choose an IP(s), but I don't think you could ever choose incorrectly because what you are doing is so selfless and appreciated by whomever you choose. I appreciate you more now that I have gone through the experience once before and know what you go through for us. <3 Our previous experience with a surrogate was wonderful – we have a true friendship and she stays a part of our lives. We visit at least once a year, even though she is in Alberta (we are in Ontario) and stay in touch with pictures and updates of the little one. 🙂 Since we have gone through a surrogacy journey once before, we are open to an independent journey if that's what you prefer. We also want you to have complete control over your body and would never want you to put yourself in harm's way. I hope that we'll have a chance to learn more about each other to see whether we have chemistry and can have a lasting friendship. As our surrogate, you would forever be in our hearts. <3
