Ashley, American Intended Parent in Paris, Tennessee, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

We are looking for a surrogate because in March of this year I had to undergo a hysterectomy. I suffered from several painful diseases that let up to it. I still have working overies but no uterus to carry a child. My husband an I have been married 6 years and although we love the idea of adoption, since we would still be capable, we want another child with our DNA.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

I am a 26 year old elementary teacher. I am also a cheerleading coach for my schools basketball and football squads. I have an amazing immediate family that live within 15 miles of us. I am extremely family oriented. I have a 4 year old daughter that I delivered naturally an she is my world. Kids have always been my passion, but I am also an Avid reader and love solving problems. Our family is built around our faith an we are Christian that attend a baptist church where my husband and I teach the college and career Sunday school class. We love to spend time outdoors and are only 30 minutes away from Kentucky lake where we spend a lot of our time!

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

We are looking for someone with a huge heart and who is willing to work with us. We want to be a involved as possible and help in any way we can. We know we are asking so much from you, but you would be giving our family something we would not be able to obtain otherwise. We are a loving family with good values and a perfect country home built for fun. With over an acre o fenced in yard and a pin in the back, we are never lacking of fun! We want our daughter to be ale to have a sibling to grow up with. One that could have her eyes or smile. God has given us an obstacle, but I believe he is showing us anew door. We are just hoping to find someone who is willing to take almost a year of their life and sacrifice for our family. We cannot do it without help.
