Hello. My name is [Her name]. I am a 44 year old single female who is desperate to be pregnant and add a wonderful child to my life.

My urge to have children came a little later in life than most. I wasn’t sure I even wanted kids, until I was a surrogate. Two very good friends of mine who wanted a child more than anything asked me if I would be there surrogate and I said yes. I didn’t realize what having a child was like or meant to me until my amazing son was born. When he was born, my friends “The Dads”, were wonderful about letting me stay in their lives and be “Mama”. And it’s been great. My son and I have a wonderful relationship. We have always been close and love to snuggle and play games and have sleep overs and go on adventures. As he is getting older (going into 2nd grade!) We also have found that we love to talk, share feelings, thoughts or just chat about our day. As I am watching my son grow up, I am realizing that what I want more than anything is to have a child of my own and a sibling for my son.

Something great that has come from this family that we’ve created is that I live on the first floor of a building and my son and The Dads live on the third floor. So we are able to spend time together. We have dinner together at least once a week, we go on vacations together and we’re all able to chip in to raise our crazy boy. Both Dads are fully on board and exited to be adding a new addition to our clan.

In addition to our core family, I am also surrounded by a large group of friends that have become my [State] Family. Everyone is close and loving and supportive and we have been in each others lives for decades. I spent my childhood moving and traveling so I never really found a place that I felt like I belonged. As soon as I moved to [State], I knew I was home. It’s a great place to live and a wonderful place to raise children.

Our neighborhood has kids EVERYWHERE. My son seems to be the king of the neighborhood. He is old enough now to go outside by himself and knock on friend’s doors, looking for someone to play with. And he’s always so sweet. He knocks and asks, “Is so and so available to play?” There is a small public park across the street from our house that the kids call “Bumble Bee Park” because there is a bouncy Bumble Bee to ride on, but there’s also swings, slides, a basketball court and a place to run around.

Just up the street and around the corner is the neighborhood elementary school that everyone attends. It’s a great school with a wonderful staff and an awesome playground. It’s another hot spot for the local crew.

My house isn’t the biggest but it’s a good size 2 bedroom with a large kids room, or playroom. My son has recently gotten a new bunk bed which he loves and hopes to one day share with his sibling.

I also have loving family in other parts of the country. Both my parents are alive and well and live in [City/state], along with my sister’s family and her son. I also have a brother in [City] who’s son is my sons’s age and he has another one on the way any day now. All the Grandkids (all boys!) Love each other very much. We try to get them together once a year and whenever they are together, they have a great time. When we can’t be together in person, we do a lot of FaceTime. Our sons love to show each other their favorite toys and make ridiculous noises and try to crack each other up.

My son also has 2 other sets of grandparents and numerous other cousins from [State] to [State] that would all embrace and add any new addition to the group that may come along. They are all the most loving and supportive people and they have invited me into their lives with open arms. It’s been really wonderful. I’ve never felt so loved.

I’ve added some pictures of myself and friends and family (both near and far). We love to go on adventures but also just be together. The first is of my family. Parents, brother, sister and all the kids.

The next is a picture of my younger brother and sister as we took a hike through the Rocky Mountains. We don’t get to see each other as often as we’d like but when we can, we try to make the most of it.

The next is a great picture of my son and his Dad’s.

The next two are annual traditions that we have here in [State]. The first is our annual Mini Golf Game. Every fall we all plan a day to mini golf and then go to the boardwalk for dinner. We have been doing this for over 10 years. The other photo is our annual Polar Express Ride. The kids love riding the train and drinking hot chocolate. The next is a fun picture of my son, his Dad’s and I on one of our many trips to the beach. The last couple pictures are a of my son and I. We love to go to the beach or just be out and about and take selfies. My son has learned how to use the camera on my phone and he loves taking selfies.

In a nutshell, my life does revolve very much around my Son and what I am looking for more than anything is to open up that world and add another wonderful child. There will be a lot of love and support around any new addition brought into my life. After having my Son, I realized that all I really want in life is to have a family of my own and watch them grow and learn and experience the world.
