Intended Parent from Vancouver, Washington, USA.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
We need a surrogate as we are a gay couple.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
We’re both transplants to the Pacific Northwest, drawn to its natural beauty and laid-back lifestyle. We come from strong, close-knit families and all together have over 20 nieces and nephews. We’re easygoing, relaxed, and looking to connect with someone who shares a similar mindset.
Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
We are a devoted and loving gay couple who have been together for nearly eight years, both working as medical professionals (and were actually colleagues at the same hospital when we first met). For the past few years, we have pursued adoption as our path to parenthood, believing it was the right journey for us. However, despite our efforts, we have not been successful. In the past few months, we have felt a deep calling to pursue IVF and surrogacy, and the idea of potentially playing a bigger role (than we would have with adoption) in the pregnancy experience fills us with excitement and hope. We are looking for an incredible woman to help us complete our family – someone with whom we can share a relationship built on open communication, trust, and happiness throughout this journey.
