Shona , Australian Intended Parent in South Australia, Australia

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

My husband I and I have been together for 16 years and spent a lot of that time travelling. We returned to Australia after 4 years away with a view to starting a family. Instead, I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. I have spent the year undergoing chemo and a masectomy. Unfortunately the cancer has now spread to my liver so I need to concentrate on slowing that down with treatment. It means I can't use our stored embryos as I need to continue with treatment to keep me around for as long as possible. Please understand that this means I will die in the near future. I may not have much time with a baby but it's my wish and my husbands wish for us to have a child together. If you think you can help in this situation, please get in contact. Thank you

How would you best describe yourself(s):

I'm 33 and my husband is 36. We both love being near the beach and prefer winter over summer. We have one dog who we adore but she is well trained! I've worked in hospitality, finance, journalism, communications and as an executive assistant whilst my husband is a land scape designer. We are very close to our families, I'm an only child and my husband has one brother. Our families get together all the time and share all Christmas' and birthdays together.
