Ashley, American Intended Parent in Louisville, Kentucky, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

I am unable to get pregnant, I have sever endometriosis and cysts on both ovaries, that are inoperable and according to the Doctors incurable. This has left me feeling somewhat less of a woman as all I have ever wanted was to be able to experience pregnancy and child birth. My husband has been very understand and sympathetic of my feelings, and has suggested that we try to find a surrogate to carry a baby for us... this is where you come in.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years, and have been trying to get pregnant ever since we got married. My husband builds Gas Stations from the ground up and has been with his company for 10 years. I have a background in Early Childhood Development, and have been working with children for 16 years now. We love each other greatly, and cannot wait to share that love with a baby.

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

To our Surrogate/Donor: We ask that you please understand that we are a struggling couple, taking care of a baby wouldn't be an issue, however paying normal surrogacy fees would be taxing. Please bare in mind that we are not saying there won't be ANY financial compensation, just not as much as some agencies are asking. If this isn't a game changer then please keep reading. Should you chose to be a surrogate for us, or know of anyone in need of adopting a baby out, please know that the baby will be well loved and taken care of! We have everything needed for a baby -boy in particular- as we had a surrogate who was having a boy that was intended for us. When the child was born, CPS stepped in (because of birth mother) and took him from hospital. The story I got from the birth mother was that she allowed CPS to place him for adoption somewhere in Utah and we were out of luck. This was devastating to us, as we took her into our home and supported her for the biggest part of her pregnancy she left our home 3 weeks before the baby was due. A successful surrogate will forever be apart of our family, as you will have helped us to be a mom and dad! Please contact us if you have any questions, or if you are willing to help us achieve our goal! We look forward to hearing from you and may God Bless you.
