Intended Parent from Salinas, California, USA.
Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:
We want a surrogate to help us have a baby because I can not have any more babies of my own. Back in January of 2018 I had to have a laparoscopic partial vaginal hysterectomy due to HPV that turned into cervical cancer. I was single at the time and I had to make a decision. The dr told me if I were to ever get pregnant again and carried to term that my spouse would have a 95% chance that they would have to pick between saving me or saving the baby. I didn’t want anyone to have to decide between their spouse or the child so I chose to have the surgery. Now I have been with my husband going on 5 years and we have been married for almost 1 year. We have decided that we want a baby together. We can’t stop thinking about it. He has been doing all kinds of research into what we need. We hope and pray that we can have a baby someday.
How would you best describe yourself(s):
My husband and I are very kind people. We are always helping others out and sometimes we end up putting ourselves in the back. We have 4 kid’s total already. He has 2 from his first marriage and I have 2 kids of my own from a previous relationship. He has a son and a daughter, and I have 2 sons. We enjoy playing video games with each other and spending time with our kids. My two are the oldest and live with us. His two are the younger ones and they live with their mom. Anyways, we enjoy being able to help people but we both have talked about it and it’s about time we do something for ourselves and do something that makes us happy.
Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:
I would like to start out by saying that we are thankful to whoever helps us out. We are not a wealthy family and we barely make ends meet now but we will do whatever we need to do to help you help us. We support each other in our dreams and goals. Our two oldest sons are here supporting us in our journey to have a baby. They are excited and can’t wait. You would not just be helping us have a baby but you would be helping us grow our family. We are a very strong family that supports each other and sticks together and help each other out no matter what. You would be filling a hole in me that feels like something is missing and it would make my husband and I extremely happy to have a baby of our own together. We already have names picked out for if it’s a boy or if it’s a girl. Thank you for your time.
