About the intended parents profile

We're an ordinary family in our early thirties living in a small-town, close-knit community. I'm privileged to be home with my daughter and absolutely love it. In spare moments, I'm also in the process of writing a novel and setting up a charity to offer support to parents with disabilities. I can also be found drinking coffee with friends or gardening. I was always voted 'most likely to be a mummy' at school because I love working with children! In the past, I've worked one-on-one with special needs children and taught English at primary school level in Hungary. I've also studied children's writing at post-graduate level, looking at how children use stories to process life events. For me, becoming a parent feels like an opportunity to draw together everything I know about how children explore and enjoy their world. I've loved every child I ever worked with and feel that I've spent my adult life preparing for this moment in the life of our family. I don't have the words to express how deeply we'd love to share all this with another child. My husband is a gentle, hard-working man. He works in a responsible position in the world of finance. Before our daughter arrived, he was a keen cyclist, swimmer and jogger. He's spent many years volunteering with young people in churches but always looked forward to having children of his own. He is a spectacularly devoted father and our daughter adores him. When our daughter was tiny, he did all the night feeds without a word of complaint and would love nothing more than to become a dad for the second time.

Intended parents surrogacy preferences

We love parenting and are already blessed with one beautiful daughter of almost two. Sadly, my pelvis was injured during that pregnancy and I'm unable to carry another child. Although I'm often in a wheelchair, my husband is hands-on and solution focused. Together, we've adapted many aspects of babycare and also have another pair of hands in the shape of a wonderful Mother's Help. Our daughter lacks for nothing and we love her to bits. We would love to share our beautiful home with another child. While we hope to adopt one day, that process is time-consuming and we'd like our daughter and her brother or sister to be reasonably close in age so they could play together.

Message from the intended parents

Dear Surrogate Mother/Egg Donor, We believe that both surrogacy and egg donation are acts of incredible generosity and compassion. We won't forget that. We'll respect your wishes and we'll treat you as we hope you'll treat us. And we give you our word that we'll raise our children with patience, gentleness and love. Our children will know camping under the stars and roasting marshmallows around a bonfire. Hot chocolate and bedtime stories. Splashing through puddles and kicking up leaves. Golden retrievers and gentle ponies. The love of an adoring big sister and loving grandparents a mile away. A neighbourhood where it's still safe to play outside. A university education if they wish but full support to reach their dreams, whatever they are. We're committed to loving our children no matter what. We'll celebrate who they are and teach them what they'll need for life's journey. They will know and appreciate the gift that's been given to our family through your kindness. This is our dream. But we can't do it alone! If you think you could help us, we'd be so grateful. xx
