If you are reading this then you are considering me as a potential parent to your embryos. We all have had a journey with pregnancy and children, so I think we can all relate to, on some level, the difficulty and struggles involved in most stages of the process. I will share with you some of my journey and hope that it allows you to feel the love and excitement I have for the potential new babies!

I have had two biological children. I had them in my early 20’s, a boy and a girl, and really wanted more. I have included a photo of me with them the day my daughter was born. Later that summer, through two separate accidents, both children died. As can be imagined, I was devastated. For many years I was terrified to have another child. I decided to focus on school and obtained my doctorate just a few years ago. Now, having all the basic tools needed (large home, flexible career, and so much love) to give my children the best life possible, I have no children to share it with. Being so far removed from the tragedies, I can now look back on delightful memories, still painful as they may be, and know I was meant to be a mom. Unfortunately, my current age is not conducive to having biological children. I have considered regular adoption or even obtaining donor eggs and sperm to make whatever biological mix I might desire. Ultimately, biology doesn’t matter to me when it comes to love. I feel this is the healthiest way to bring an adopted child into the world by giving birth to the baby myself. It helps both mom and baby to bond and gives us that ability to nurse as nature intended. I would love to have two, if possible, and feel it would be a wonderful thing for siblings to be biologically related. I believe that someone out there has embryos they want to know have been brought to term and will want me to be their mom. I have so much love to give and such a wonderful, fun home to share.

Things about me you might be interested in knowing… I am a hard worker. I grew up in a small farm town and was raised to work for what I have and be grateful for it. I am artistic to include a range of things from painting, music, and dance to woodworking and remodeling my home, so there are always projects going on, large or very small. I take care of myself, exercise, and eat and cook healthy. I do have a weakness for some good crème brulee, which I have included a photo of me enjoying. As much as I love how it tastes, I have to admit my absolute favorite part is cracking the top layer. I love to travel and have been all over the world, though there is never a shortage of destinations! I have included some photos of me in Europe last summer, where I went to visit my best friend. I am thrilled to be surrounded by and learn about cultures different from my own. I have a godson that I spoil at every chance I get. I included a photo of him and me after my graduation ceremony. I enjoy giving back and have worked with the homeless population here in the US and have traveled on missions to multiple third world countries to give aid and care. I have a wonderful, supportive set of parents and some pretty amazing extended family and close friends. All of these people, things, and so much more will become part of my babies’ lives with no shortage of love and learning. Though I was raised Christian, I plan to raise my children to know and understand the basics for multiple religions as to allow them to choose what is in their heart as they grow. I will raise them, to the best of my abilities, to know multiple cultures and be an accepting person to all those around them, as one can never go wrong with love. And, as all these wonderful things are my intent, I will be the first to admit that I am not perfect. I do not have any delusions of what motherhood will look like. I know it is hard work, and that I will inevitably make mistakes. Just know that I will do everything in my power to help my children be happy and well adjusted with the ability to thrive in this world. I hope you will consider me for your amazing donation of life.
