We are Eric and Michelle from California

Dear Expectant Mother –

We are looking forward to meeting you.  We can only imagine how difficult this decision is for you, trying to find the perfect match to raise your baby.  We would love to share with you why we hope to be your perfect fit.

Early on in our dating journey, we would enjoy long walks where we would share our goals and values for the future.  We knew we wanted to have kids and had always talked about two.  Unfortunately, life had other plans for us.  We tried to get pregnant for about 6 years, even working with doctors, but it was not in the cards for us.  We made the decision to ask for help and we met an amazing woman who agreed to be part of our surrogacy journey.  In February 2020, our son was born.  Logan is the light of our life.  We love being parents.  Parenting during a pandemic has not been what we had expected, but it has allowed us to spend so much extra time with our son and helped us to readjust our priorities.

As we previously mentioned, we have always talked about having two kids.  However, we do not have the option to do another surrogacy journey because we have no more healthy embryos.  We both grew up with siblings and after watching our son play with his cousins, we knew we wanted to figure out another way to give him a sibling.  We know he would be an amazing big brother!

We live close to both of our families and spend a lot of time with our parents and siblings, so our son frequently spends time with his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.  Family is an important part of our lives.  We are looking forward to the day when the pandemic is under control and we can introduce our son and your future child to travel and organized sports.  We both have fond memories from our childhood of trips with our parents. We will allow them to be themselves and explore passions but also provide them with guidance from parents who have life experience.

Although our son is just 2 years old, we have already started to talk with him about our surrogacy journey.  We want him to know about the lengths we went to have him and we would do the same with your baby.  We believe it’s important for the children to know where they came from.  We want your baby to know your story.  We are not sure what the future will hold, but we do want your baby to know their birth parents.

Should we be fortunate enough to have you select us to raise your baby, we want to express our commitment to providing the best home we possibly can.  We promise to love your child unconditionally and provide them with everything to become the best person they possibly can be.
