Ann, American Intended Parent in Orlando, Florida, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

I had a very rough pregnancy with my daughter. I ended up going into heart failure due to the pregnancy. Fortunately, I have since recovered; however the doctors say no more pregnancies for me. We used IVF to conceive my daughter and we still have four embryos (one girl and three boys). We want to give each a chance to grow and become a member of our family. We are interested in implanting two embryos at a time so will need a surrogate who is willing to birth twins if both embryos implant. Additionally, we would like the same surrogate to carry the additional two embryos two years later.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

I would describe my husband and myself as a "fun couple!" We love rediscovering our childhood as we take our one year old daughter on adventures to places like Disney. It's such a joyful experience to see her having fun.

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

My husband and I always wanted children. For unknown reasons, we were not able to conceive on our own, so turned to IVF. We are thrilled with our one year old daughter, and are excited to add to our family! We would like to be involved with the pregnancy, and would hope that a friendship will develop between us and the special person that helps us build the rest of our family.
