The Intended Parents...

I am matched with a wonderful couple C and S (I will address them as that, until I get approval from them to disclose who they are) who live in Albuquerque, NM. I first viewed their profile from Simple Surrogacy on March 27, 2008. I first spoke with C via telephone on April 9, 2008. We talked about almost everything, and laughed the whole time. Needless to say, we hit it off automatically. C is a very wonderful and smart woman. She is very pretty and is a wonderful mother. She has a wonderful sense of humor, and loves to laugh. She takes things as they are, and doesn't seem to worry much. S is a very nice, intellectual man. He likes to talk and is very soft spoken (so far!). He is a wonderful father, and expresses his love for them a lot.

C and S learned that C's eggs were not good b/c unfortunately they decided to wait a little longer to have children. C and S are both 44 years of age. C decided to let a dear friend donate eggs for her. They were fertilized with S's Sperm with the intention of C carrying them to term on January 2003. The had 6 good embryos. They transfered 2 fresh embryos into C's uterus, and a Baby Girl was born on November 17, 2003. The remaining 4 embryos were frozen. About 2 years later they decided to do another transfer, and transfered 2 embryos (when thawed, the Dr. said that one embryo looked like it had never been frozen, and the other embryo looked as good as it could look, being it was frozen) more into C's uterus. A Baby Boy was born on July 31, 2005.

At the end of the birth of her son, she learned she had HELLP syndrome, because of this, she had to deliver her son 2 months early. She was informed by various medical professionals that it would be in her best interest to never get pregnant again. That is why, I am here to help her complete her family.

HELP SYNDROME: HELLP syndrome is a serious complication of severe pregnancy-induced hypertension (high blood pressure problems of pregnancy). It occurs in about 10 percent of women with high blood pressure of pregnancy. It usually develops before delivery, but may occur postpartum (after delivery) as well. HELLP syndrome consists of the following problems:

• hemolysis - red blood cells break down.
  
  
• elevated liver enzymes - damage to liver cells cause changes in liver function lab tests.
  
  
• low platelets - cells found in the blood that are needed to help the blood to clot in order to control bleeding.

C was told many times that she should "just donate the remaining embryos to science", or "throw them away", but as I'm sure many of you can imagine and understand. Those other 2 beautiful babies were in those tubes as well. These last two embryos could very well be another beautiful child of hers, OR CHILDREN! So, she has called upon the help of a GESTATIONAL SURROGATE (myself) to give those final embryos the chance they deserve!
