I am looking for families who have been together for several years, and are already strong and secure, with or without a child. Families who desperately want and need a child to fulfill their lives, their dreams, and their desires.

I am looking for couples who are unable to have children of their own, who will raise their children in a loving, secure family. I prefer couples who are religious, and go to church regularly. I do not care which religion. I just believe that religion gives children strong moral backgrounds, to base the rest of their lives on. Jewish, Christian, I have no bias.

I am *not* looking for single men, married men who want to have sex, or couples who only want a child, because they think it will help them stay together.

I want to be traditional surrogate, for a loving, secure, strong, wonderful family.

A traditional surrogate uses her own egg, and a donor’s sperm to get pregnant. I will not consider sex as a possible means of becoming pregnant. I do not think it would be at all emotionally or psychologically healthy for me or for the Intending Parents, to conceive a child through any means but artificial insemination.

I am able to start whenever you like. I am a social smoker, so I would like a couple of weeks notice, to make sure I do not have any nicotine in my body, before we begin.

I am already on prenatal vitamins.

I prefer couples who live close to Dallas, or who can fly here on a regular basis. The reason for this is that I would prefer parents to be very involved with doctor’s visits, and birth.

I want to help a family who desperately wants a child. Families who would give anything to have a child of their own, but due to medical / physical reasons can not do so.

Due to financial reasons, I had to drop out of college, after 33 credit hours. I desperately want to go back to college, but can not afford it. Going to college is my dream. Let me help you make your dreams come true, by being a surrogate mother for your family.

I am willing to breastfeed for up to a year after birth, as long as you, or your day care is close enough to my work, to be able to drive there in a couple of minutes, or if you will bring your child to my work / home, during feeding times.

I am open to, and encourage, discussion of future siblings.

I am not willing to terminate pregnancy for selective reduction, or physical defects.

Whether you tell your child about his or her birth mother is your decision. However, every year, I would like to get pictures of the child, and once a year I would like a one hour visit with your child. If you choose to tell your child that I am a family friend, or if you choose to tell your child the truth, is your decision.

Costs:
$20,000 (5 at signing, 5 at 3 months, 5 at 6 months, 5 at birth, negotiable)
$500 clothing allowance (you could go shopping with me, if you like)
All travel expenses
All legal expenses
All medical expenses that insurance does not cover
