Coming from a large family, I value family above everything else. I was the youngest of four and enjoyed being an uncle ten times over. I was considered the ‘fun uncle’ and babysitting was always an adventure. We would often make up our own games to play or take trips to local parks.

Even as a young adult, I always wanted to start my own family. After receiving a good deal of higher education and establishing myself professionally and financially, I married with the hopes of starting that family. Unfortunately, my wife changed her mind about having children. And then a couple years ago, my marriage failed.

I had wanted to start a family the traditional way, but things hadn’t worked out that way for me. I am still committed to starting a family and I see surrogacy as my best opportunity to achieve those dreams. I know raising a child as a single parent will be challenging, but I have a large supportive extended family. My child will enter this world surrounded by the love of that family.

I have the desire and energy, and fortunately, the good health and financial stability to start this new journey in life. I hope that this letter finds a caring, compassionate person who values family as much as I do. A person who enjoys being able to make another person’s dreams come true.
