Kati-Jean, American Surrogate Mother in Pasco, Washington, USA

Why I want to be a surrogate mother:

As a mom, myself, I completely understand the desire to have children.I want to be able to help that dream come true.I hope that the parents and myself can connect on a personal friendship level and I can share every step of the journey with them.I’m going into this with an open mind about communication.I’m open to updates after the birth or fully respect you just wanting to focus on your new family.

Description of myself:

I am a 27 year old, stay at home mom to a 7 year old little girl and 2.5 year old son and a 3 month old daughter(3/2023). I am currently about to compete my 1st year of school for nursing, planning to graduate 2024. I am very personable and friendly.My family and I are close so I understand the importance in wanting a biological baby.I am outgoing but can be a little shy at first.I have been with my husband, Ethan, for 9 years.We have 2 dogs and 3 biological children.We were foster parents for the past 5 years but recently chose to close our license.I am a little heavier, BMI of 32, but I am working on loosing weight to ensure a healthy pregnancy.When I had my oldest daughter, I had no severe complications.A little shy of 38 weeks, I had some high blood pressure but there was no protein in my urine so thankfully, it was not Pre-eclampsia.I was induced however and delivered at 38weeks.She weighed 7lb 9oz and I didn’t had any other complication.I carried surrotwins that were delivered in July, we transferred two embryos.They came on their own but were early and I did deliver vaginally, I pumped for almost 8 weeks for them.I had some blood pressure spikes that made me log each day but no medications were required, we just kept an eye on it.I had our son the end of 2020, who came via induction.It was a vaginal birth at 40+3 with no pregnancy complications. Our youngest was a surprise who was delivered at 40+1 via induction, I had no complications throughout my pregnancy with her. She is only 3 months currently so I am breastfeeding. If I were to match, I wouldn’t be able to begin transferring until close to the middle of next year.

My letter to intended parents:

Hello, I know that we haven't met yet and this must be incredibly difficult to choose the right person to help bring your little bundle into your life.I hope that we get a moment to talk and see if we connect.I wish that our first contact could have been more personal but I have hopes that we can go on this journey together and I can assist in helping your family out.My desire to be a surrogate came when I had my first child.Holding your baby in your arms is amazing and I wish that every parent, who wants to, is able to experience this.I imagine it is hard to make this choice but I hope that together we can get make this possible for your family .
