Clara, American Intended Parent in Saint Robert, Missouri, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

Last year after being very very sick a few years, I was diagnosed with cancer. My husband and family got me through it no matter what was thrown at us. I had to have major surgery and lost my uterus. I survived. (: However, The cancer was spreading so I was not able to save eggs.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

My whole life I have wanted to be a mother. My mom had six kids, I have 20 nieces and nephews. My husband is an amazing father. We were both married before and he has 2 grown daughters. I am 33 years old, Jake is 41. We are an Army Family stationed in Missouri. We love fishing and exploring and seeing. Historical sites. We are kind of dorky that way. We love animals. We love each other. I married my best friend. (: I see him with our many nieces and nephews and I long to have a child with him. To teach, to include on our adventures. To bake with. To snuggle and love on. To teach our traditions to. To spoil and take pride in. I want to say daddys home, and mommy loves you little man or little me.

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

I had hope one day I would have a child. There was even a week, last September they told us after they removed my ovary, to get pregnant immediately. We talked baby names thr whole 2 hrs home. So excited and hopeful. A week later, I got the call it was cancer. He told me, no babies and he was so very sorry. Surrogacy is my only hope. We really want a baby to love. We dont care if it is a boy or girl. We just want a child that is ours. It would complete us. It would mend my broken heart. We would love this child unconditionally. I still slip up and talk about babies that could have been, my eyes, his smile. My laugh, his brains. I still want my dream. I don't want my chance at being a parent to be over. Thank you for your time. Thank you for the gift you want to give to others.
