Hi everyone, I'm new to the website. I was just searching to see what was out there for my situation and saw some of the other emails from members, so I decided to take a chance and see. My name is Kenya and I am now 45. I have always wanted to be married before having a baby and the right guy finally came into my life about 4 years ago. For the last 2 years we have been trying to conceive with one obstacle after another. In 2014 we decide to try in vitro due to me only having 1 fallopian tube and ovary-the other was removed as a result of endometriosis. Our first attempt failed in February, and then I was fired in June and out of work until May 2016. We were all ready to try again this month but I was just diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. Due to the chemo and possible radiation therapy I cannot carry a baby for at least the next 5 years! I start my therapy the first week of September. So my sweetie and I have decided the best option for us is to freeze my eggs and hopefully find a free surrogate. We can't afford to go through an agency, as you know the cost is astronomical, but we are willing to of course pay for all medical bills, doctor visits etc. If someone is interested in helping us that would be wonderful. We are planning for transfer/implantation next year sometime.

Message from the intended parents

Hello Potential Surrogate Mother. I am looking for you because I want to have a family. All my life I had a plan, got to school, have a career, live a little, settle down, get married, have a family. I did most of it but by the time I got to the settling down part, I realized a good man was scarce. I finally found one that I wanted to build with and that's when it seemed like my dreams of being a mom became challenging. From having 1 ovary/fallopian tube removed and the other blocked to a failed in vitro attempt, to now recently being diagnosed with having stage 2 breast cancer, I almost gave up. We decided to try to freeze my eggs. So later this month we will see what happens. Hopefully I will produce enough eggs to be fertilized. If that doesn't work we will need donor eggs as well. This is my only option both emotionally and financially. I am trusting God with all of this. He has made a way MANY times. He will this time too. My sweeties name is Sydney and he is 10 years younger than me. We both do not have any children. My other issue is that I don't think it is fair to marry him unless I can give him a child. He wants to be a dad so very bad, and I can't be the one to deny him that opportunity. He is a good good guy! and he deserves that chance. I want to be fair to him. We are looking to do this next year, after my chemo is almost over and to give us time to save money and find the right person for us and our baby. So you see, this is not just about me. I pray that you, my surrogate is out there! In expectation and thanks, Kenya & Sydney
