Message from the intended parents

Dear Surrogate, Myself and my husband have been together since he was 14 and I 16 years old we married after 12 years courtship and our dream was to begin our family and have 3-4 kids in quick succession of echother and get back to our careers or wehatever path family life would lead us. Unfortunately my mother died suddenly when I was 20 weeks pregnant with my fist and only child, this had a terrible effect on my and led to my developing HELLPS syndrome severe form of Pre-eclampsia during my final week of pregnancy and almost died after 37.5 hrs of labour consequently to this I developed LV cardiomyopathy heart failure and was advised not to consider pregnancy again for at least 5 years. I have now passed that time frame and after a trial of being off my medication for 8 months my hert health has detiorated and so it has been confirmed I can not carry another child r the effects on my heart could be fatal. I and my husband desperately wish to have another child, not just for ourselves but for our 5 year old son, so that he knows what it is like to have a sibling, so that he will always have another person for when me and his father pass away,, so that eh will always have the identity of family, of knowing and feeling fo belonging to something bigger than just the by product of me and his dads marriage. I feel like such a failure and totally incomplete carrying this burden. I have thought about this for almost six years and I am not going into this blinded, I am aware of the emotional side of this as I have been through a hughely emotional time being separated from my son for the first 5 weeks of his life I was hospitalised for the Heart Failure I have considered all of the possible feelings I may or may not have as a result of not carrying this child myself but I also am aware of how much I want this bavby and how much love we have to give him/her this bay will be not just a gift from God but a gift from you, from your heart and from your generousity a gift that only you can give and it is priceless. I thanks you for your time in reading this letter and thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you are doing for women in my situation everywhere. Kindest regards. xxx
