gemma, British Intended Parent in Hampshire, United Kingdom

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

I was born without a cervix.I have had over 30 operations to correct the problem, some went well, others did not.I have been left with severe Endometriosis and a very damaged womb.My egg supply is basically zero and my cervix is not strong enough to support the weight of a baby.My husband and I did try for a child, but after a very bad miscarriage, we knew it was time to start looking into other options.I believe a surrogate is the best choice for us.a woman who can make us a family would be my Angel, I would want to stay in contact and be friends with them, as to be able to give this gift is the greatest thing on earth, and that's the kind of person I would be honored to know. I need a traditional surrogate, as I have no real eggs to use, I am in awe of woman who can do this naturally and believe there is someone out there who can make our dreams come true.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

I am a 33 year old, married woman who is very outgoing and hard working, I have a degree in Literature and am currently in university working towards my PHD in cultural studies. I love baking and sewing and often make cookies and cakes for work.I also love reading and spending time with my nieces and nephews.we both have a large family that are very supportive of us and are plans for a family. My husband is my best friend, he is supportive and loving and can always make me laugh.we love travelling and learning and spending time with family.we both would love a child to share our passions with and to complete are almost perfect lives.
