Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
Growing up, I always wanted a big family. It was just me and my sister. We are only 5 years apart, but it felt as though we were 20. We were not close and many years later after having our own children- we're still not close. When I was 17 years old, I became pregnant by my boyfriend (now my husband). I was so scared to tell my mother, with good reasons. As I could imagine, she was furious and gave me an ultimatum. I either abort the child or move out of her house. In my mind, where would I go? My boyfriend lived with his family of 8 in a two bedroom apartment. I did not have a relationship with my father or paternal side of the family. It made me feel as though I was a disappointment to society for being pregnant at 17. So, I made an unfavorable decision to abort the child. For years, I was depressed. I always wished that I had enough strength in me to stand up to my mother and explain to her that as she walks with God - she should understand that children are Gifts from God. They are not mistakes. It was in His plan. To cure myself from the depression/grief, I became engulfed in completing college and moving up in corporate. I obtained two degrees and became a manager with my employer. My husband and I tried for several years to have a baby to no avail. Then one day, I went in for my annual check up and to my surprise, the doctor announced I was pregnant. I was 28 years old. I experienced some complications - causing me to be on bed rest in the hospital for 9 weeks. BUT, by the grace of God, I delivered a healthy 7 lbs baby girl. She is everything to me. Two years later, my husband and I discussed adding another to our family. I scheduled an appointment with the doctor to discuss our options since I knew it would be a "high risk pregnancy." However, a few days before the appointment, my husband rushed me to the ER because I had severe abdominal pain and spotting. To our surprise again - I was pregnant! I was released, but told to seek immediate prenatal attention. I called my doctor the next morning and from there begin preparing for my second child. Unfortunately, at 23 weeks, I developed severe preeclampsia. My kidneys and liver was shutting down - I was dying and to save my life, they had to deliver my son. He did not survive that journey. He weighed only 11 ounces. I am thankful to be alive to see my daughter grow, but there's not a day go by that I wish my son were here to enjoy our family. My daughter expresses on many occasions how she wish she had a sibling - and oh, how I wish she could experience it as well. Since the last pregnancy, I have had some problems with high blood pressure and most recently been diagnosed with a heart murmur. Although, these diagnoses are not life threatening - it can be if I were pregnant with my history of preeclampsia. I am 40 years old now. I am a teacher and will make a lateral move to be a school counselor next school year.I currently have *** children that I care for as if they were my own. However, we would love to give my daughter the sibling she always longed for and my husband and I would love to continue growing our family. If you are willing to sacrifice 10 months of your life eating healthy, moderate exercise, reading, and listening to a lot of music- We NEED YOU! We WANT YOU! To carry our child. We THANK YOU! And We are SO GRATEFUL! We look forward to speaking with you and discussing this journey.
Hello, my name is Danielle! I live in North Richland Hills (close to Fort Worth) and I am interested in becoming a surrogate mother.I noticed your preferred age for a surrogate was no younger than 18 and I myself happen to be 18.A lot of people prefer a woman in her 20s but I got pregnant at the age of 17 and had a completely healthy pregnancy, delivery, and 7.2 pound son! I was a "by the book" mom when I was pregnant so I was extra cautious with EVERYTHING.My reason for wanting to be a surrogate is because my son is going to be 6 months soon and I really miss the experience of carrying a precious life.I have the most incredible bond with my baby and nothing else compares to that feeling.I'd love to give someone else the opportunity to feel that way about a child whether its their first baby or last.If you would like to consider me and get in contact with me please email me at *** you very much!
