Isabela, American Intended Parent in Clearwater, Florida, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

I divorced after 14 yrs because my spouse did not want children, a tough lesson that stole my youth and with it, possibly my best chances to achieve this personal dream.As a former European athlete, I could sincerely say that trying to have a child is the toughest competition I ever had.I hope that you, as a potential gestational carrier will be available to help me in my timeline which is very short considering that I, personally, am fighting with Mother Nature.I'd like to give the best opportunity to my unborn child, or hopefully, children.As a scientist, I admit my biological limitations but the upper hand of having the continuous funding to support this option.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

Former professional athlete; disciplined, honest, with a good sense of humor, great health & envious stability in life.I love art, live plants, honest and witty people, traveling, foreign languages, all which are reflected in who I am.I'm an independent person, happy with myself, but terribly miss motherhood, a feeling that I'm struggling with for years.

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

Hello, I am starting this letter in hopes that my story will make you my ally to win the fight that I lost in my fake marriage. I have a very stable job and have constant income.Though I'm not rich, I would offer for you to live with me overseas and I'll take care of you as if your body and mind were mine.I surely hope you have a passport :) I have a sperm donor and I will use my own egg.Hence, I need a gestational carrier younger than me and as healthy as I am (with verified tests). I never smoked, never did drugs (I was a forensic expert also, the only time when I was 'exposed' to them, was when I analyzed them), I don't drink alcohol, and completely cut out coffee for months at a time in the last few years. At this moment I have a very low egg reserve, and shortly will be literally on the way out of the motherhood market; I do not intend to have a child that is not biologically mine, so, this is my only chance.At this moment, Apr 7, *** I'm in the cycle of retrieving the last eggs from my ovaries in hope that at least few will be good quality for babies.To enhance the chances for a viable pregnancy, I intend to have a singleton at a time but the risk is too high if I, at my age, carry the pregnancy.So, I'm choosing this route to smartly increase the odds in my favor. Perhaps, subconsciously, I also want to prove to my ex-husband that disregarding the fact that he lured me for so many years in wasting my time with him - something that I do take blame for allowing him to do so - I still made the impossible, possible.However, I can't do it alone.I need 'girl power' and I'm willing to give the best for this chance to work.To me, you would become the sister I never had, the life-long family member that I pray you'd like to stay in my life and the life of the child you'll carry, hopefully mine. I'm a doer, a realist, and nothing that I set my mind so far in life was unachieved except for having a child.I travel to Transylvania at least once a year to see my relatives and I know you would like to join me; Dracula's Castle and Peles Castle are within hours distance.I have friends and relatives all over Europe (mostly in Spain and the islands - Mallorca, Italy, Greece, Kosovo, Austria, Germany, France, Ireland, UK, Brussels), and I know you would enjoy seeing them as they all are 'pulling' for me to have a baby. You may ask me any questions or have me contact you at your convenience so we can discuss details.My egg retrieval procedure is set to take place in Virginia Beach at the New Hope Center, and I would bring you here on my expense up front should you accept especially because I have less than two weeks until the surgery.However, I would also need labs from you or for you to come sooner in order for the doctor to place you on medication protocol. Thank you for your consideration! Bella
