Matthew, American Intended Parent in San Francisco, California, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

we are a couple that have been wanting to "get pregnant" for 2.5 years and have not succeeded with our 2 attempts with one surrogate. We are looking to try again using the clinic in Pasadena that has been helping us. We dream of starting a family together and look forward to finding the right surrogate.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

Thoughtful, kind, creative.

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

we are hopeful that you are intrinsically motivated to help, are in good health, and reliable. We know it is a big commitment to make all the clinic visits, to take hormone injections, and to feel uncertain about what this roller coaster ride may bring. We appreciate signs of courage, compassion, and trust in the process. Also important: a willingness to be contacted in the future by curious children. No co-parenting, just relaxed and open to limited contact.
