Emma, American Intended Parent in Ridgecrest, California, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

After my cancer treatments, I have had to maintain a number of medications that can make a pregnancy high risk. I would absolutely hate to put my babies at risk just to get the beautiful opportunity of caring my child.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

Hello everyone my name is Emma and my husbands name is Eddie. I am 25 and my husband is 29. We have been married for 6 years and together for 9. We have two little pups that we love dearly and we all live together in a 3 bedroom 2 bath home. I worked with children for many years both in general education and special education. I also got to spend some time volunteering for the special Olympics and working with a children hospital. My husband grew up in a very large family with lots of little ones running around. We knew very early on that we wanted to have children together but we hit a very large road block 4 years ago. 4 years ago were shaken to our core when I received a life threatening cancer diagnosis. I was told very clearer that at the end of my treatment I would no longer be capable of having children, so we fought very hard for the opportunity two save embryos. Now that I have spent 4 years cancer free my husband and I are ready to pursue the family we have been waiting for.

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

We have deeply been struggling finding someone who would be willing to take on this adventure with us and am just so deeply grateful to have found a website like this to hopefully connect with someone who is interested in joining us. We are flexible, kind, great communicators, and very open. We only have 2 chances to have children but are very hopeful. We are truly just looking for the opportunity to meet our little girl and boy (and yes these are the genders :) ) Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
