Joannete, Puerto Rican Surrogate Mother in Orlando, Florida, USA

Why I want to be a surrogate mother:

My stepmom suffered from Infertility and I watched her go through the process, all the injections and heartbreak. At the end she opted out of having kids. I was 12 years old and couldn’t help her. I promised her that when the time came I would help another couple for her.

Description of myself:

I am a little bit of a introvert but have no problems socializing at get togethers. I love watching movies, going to the beach and road trips.

My letter to intended parents:

Dear IP’s, I can’t say I know what you’re going through. I did watch my stepmom struggle through it all and it was rough. I can’t imagine the strength and willpower it takes to try and keep trying just to have your little bundle of joy. I didn’t decide to be a surrogate on a whim. I have thought this through and I want to help. I know surrogacy is a long emotional process and I am ready to go through it. I also understand this is your baby, I will not impose my beliefs or push for anything. I will respect your choices and try my hardest to deliver a healthy baby.
