Dear Future Parents:

I would like to introduce myself, Loree .
I am interested in becoming a surrogate once again. I was a surrogate over two years ago. The intended parents were from Italy and wanted to have a baby. I agreed to work with them. They were successful the first try! They were expecting a baby but at 2.5 months, the doctor pulled me off of Progesterone. This is the medication/hormone that keeps the body from rejecting the fetus. They pulled me off too soon and I miscarried. We were all devastated. I agreed to stay with this couple. About 7 months went by and the couple. The I.M. would state that she did not have a good vibe about this transfer and would cease all medication and injections… we’d have to start over several times. We tried again and again but her body would just not respond to the medication properly. Her eggs were very poor quality and were frozen. Only one survived but was a very poor grade. It did not work. Once again, we decided to go through another cycle. Once again, her body did not respond. Once again we stopped and started again and again. Finally, I called her (usually she called, texted and emailed daily… yes, all three). Suddenly it stopped abruptly so I called her. Turned out she was chosen to be the adoptive parents of a newborn. Without notice, without informing the doctors or the agency, she adopted. This left me with over two years loyalty and chock full of medication. I am happy for her and her husband. They so wanted a baby. It was their dream and they made it come through. They will make excellent parents and I am thrilled for them. But, here I am… starting over two years later. Now I am looking for a couple who is similar to me. I would like to work with a couple who has manners, is open and warm and friendly. Someone who will not see me as an employee. Yes, I am being compensated, but not paid. I’d like to work with a couple who is patient and willing to express concerns diplomatically. I offer longevity, honesty and the peace of mind to know that I will do everything possible to hold up my end of this delicate deal.

I love being a surrogate. Now I am VERY familiar with the procedures. We used Dr. Chantillis in Dallas, Texas and Dr. Noble in El Paso (who is excellent!) We use Freedom Pharmacy to order all medication (this saves me from having to be reimbursed, an account is created and medication is only a phone call away). I am familiar with the cycles and how this works. At first, it was all new to all of us. I can answer a lot of the questions and tell you what you may expect and how long things take and why certain things happen.

I am familiar of what to avoid, what foods to avoid and how to inject myself as my fiancé is also very familiar. This really helps! I have all tests completed, and I have to say, each time I have gone in for the sonogram (they will look at my uterus inside and out to see how I am doing) I have responded to the medication very, very well. In fact, the doctors stated that my uterus is ideal for carrying a child.

I know that this is difficult for you. It is a life changing experience and something that you may have mixed feelings about. That is normal. That is okay. This baby will be YOUR baby to love and boy, will you have a story to tell if you should chose to. It is incredible. If we are matched, you may expect a very friendly, happy, cheerful person. I am the mother of one little spirited boy. He’s my world. And, my fiancé is the most patient man I’ve ever met. For instance, in the middle of the night, if I say, “I’m craving chicken strips from Denny’s” he will immediately respond, “Want me to get some?” (Laugh!) I won’t even be pregnant. And no, I never make him. He is soooo great. I love him so much. I’ve asked him if he would like to have a child of our own. He does not. Thankfully. You see, I’ve always wanted one child. Always. My little boy has a lot of friends and a cousin his same age to play with. Someday I hope to be a foster parent someday, not anytime soon. One project at a time for me!

I have a sense of humor that is basic. I laugh at my own jokes. No one else seems to. I’m a bit silly. My little boy makes me laugh so much. He is hilarious. I love kids. I really do. They are fun. Whenever I can get my niece to come over, we are very happy. They are a handful but so much fun together.

I work in an office. I like cushy office work right now. I used to be a coordinator. Now I am used to sitting at a desk all day and I love it. I love office work. I do not speak Spanish at all. I wish that I did.

What am I like? Well, I’m very boring, I think. That whole club scene was out of my system when I had my child. I love the house and the family and the white picket fence. I love animals, too. I really do. Currently I’m searching for a breeder who will breed silver poodles. Toy, miniature or tea cup. They are hard to find! My passion is history. I have a degree (associates) in Business Management. We believe in God. Now, we are not of any denomination. Simply put, we believe in God.

What can you expect? You may expect integrity, honesty and complete communication. This is YOUR baby and I am willing to care of this baby. I feel that it is my responsablity to ensure that this baby has a healthy, happy start. I like to play music, talk to the baby and, if you allow, play your voices (recorded or live) to the womb so that the baby will be comforted when he or she is born and will recognize your voice. It works!
I will make sure that you are informed of everything. There will be no suprises. I know that this is difficult to imagine, someone carrying your child. Please know that I will love and care for this baby while I am carrying it up until your baby is in your arms.

I want to help you to make your dream come true. This is a wonderful journey and something that will be a positive experience. Whomever you should chose, whomever you are matched with, may they be loving, patient and always happy as to ensure a great pregnancy and experience for you, the baby and the surrogate. This is important, I’m sure that you are aware.

I wish you success. This is a wonderful thing that you are going to accomplish. Thank you for your consideration and your time.

Respectfully,

Lori

SURROGATE FOR HIRE

Dear Future Parents:

I would like to introduce myself, Loree. I was born in El Paso, Texas in 1972 and have lived in California most of my childhood. I returned to El Paso and have lived her for over fifteen years.

Very Touching Story

So I loved you story and I hope to become a father sometime, it is my dream. I really hope that it doesn't cost 25k when I decide its time.

Hey Guys! My partner Israel

Hey Guys! My partner Israel and I are from Weehawken, NJ and are going the surrogacy route as well. It's nice to meet other gay couples, specially those living so close. Good luck and if you guys ever wanna chat just write back!!!

I think this is very sad.

I think this is very sad. Intended Parents should not have to travel to another state to become parents. It should be a right to do it in your home state/town, not a privilidge.

Wow dude, very, very great

very, very great luck to you and Andrew Giovanni.

And yes, you are very very lucky.

Hi. I read your post and

Hi. I read your post and while my partner and I are working through surrogacy to become parents, we read a book titled, "Gay Dads" by David Strah. The book is a compilation of stories of families that came about by adoption, foster care, surrogacy, marriage (and then divorce) and yes, co-parenting (pg 77, "a fatherhood not by design"). I bought the book at Barnes and Noble and I think it could provide a bit of insight for you. Good luck.

The Family knows!

Yesterday, we went out to my parents house to visit with them and my brother, sister-in-law and my two nieces. We broke the news to our family that we were going to have a family and everyone is so excited. We had to make a quick call to my sister, who lives out of state, to share the news as well. We've had to answer a lot of questions from both sides of our family, but I have to say that the response has been fantastic. I didn't expect any differently, but its great to just be able to share the news. We've been tight lipped for so long as we did our research and worked through the process. I have to say that it is great to have the support network that we have in our families. Our siblings have already had their families so we have a lot of experience to draw from.

Thank you so much for

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:23:08 -0700

Thank you so much for writing a note to us. We are very excited. Its great to know that there are people out there routing for us. I'll keep posting and hope to hear from you again. Take care!

First, thank you so much for

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:20:16 -0700

First, thank you so much for giving us your opinion. I am not offended at all and believe me, we want to be at every appointment and if we could, we'd have her move in so that we could experience every little thing that our surrogate will experience during the pregnancy. Unfortunately, both my partner and I work and we live half way across the country from where our surrogate is. With our work schedules and expenses, it will be difficult to manage. Since our original posting, we've had several conversations about it and we will likely go to the milestone doctors appointments together and then rotate so that we can individually be at as many appointments as possible. Thank you again for giving us your perspective on it. Wish us luck!

i want to become one

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 14:09:00 -0700

hey anne! i'm only 13 years old, but i'm extremely intersted in becoming a surrogate. i think it would be cool. plus, i could help out a couple tremendously that couldn't concieve on their own. i just want to know the closest age that i could start. (i obviously want to be at least 18, 17 at the absolute youngest.) it sounds like an amazing joy to give birth for somebody who can't do it on their own!

YEAH!!!

Ty_N_Al — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 06:20:39 -0700

I am so excited for you two.

I know that you two are more excited than I.
