To Our Future Surrogate,
First, thank you for taking the time to learn a little about us. We know that considering surrogacy is a deeply
personal decision, and we're incredibly grateful that there are selfless women like you who are willing to help
others experience the joy of becoming parents. While we haven't met you yet, we're excited about the
possibility of getting to know you and sharing this journey together.
We've now been together for 12 years and married for four. Over that time, we've built a life filled with love,
laughter, adventure, and a lot of shared experiences. We're both curious people who enjoy trying new things,
whether that's experimenting with a new recipe, discovering a local bakery, travelling somewhere new, or
challenging ourselves to complete another race. We've been fortunate to explore some incredible places
together, from Costa Rica and New Zealand to Iceland and Norway. We're also happiest spending time at
home, tending to our vegetable garden, playing games, relaxing by the fire, or cuddling with our seven-year-old
dog, Bella, who has somehow managed to fill over 95% of our camera roll.
Although we love adventure, home is our sanctuary. We value kindness, compassion, and making the people
around us feel accepted and supported. Our friends and family are an important part of our lives, and we try
not to take ourselves too seriously. We complement each other in different ways, but we share a strong
commitment to showing up for the people we love.
Becoming parents is something we're incredibly excited about. After building our life together, establishing our
careers, and creating a home we're proud of, we feel ready for this next chapter. We look forward to sharing
our experiences with a child, introducing them to different cultures and foods, creating family traditions, and
watching them discover who they are and what they love. Most importantly, we want to be the parents who
show up, through the everyday moments and the big milestones alike. We want our child to grow up knowing
they are unconditionally loved, accepted, and supported, and that they can always come to us with anything.
Our journey toward parenthood has had its ups and downs, and we've learned the importance of patience,
leaning on one another, and accepting support from our family and friends. Through it all, we've remained
hopeful and excited about growing our family. We're grateful for the opportunity to pursue surrogacy and for the
person who may one day become part of our story.
As we think about the relationship we'd love to build with you, open and honest communication is especially
important to us. We hope to develop a relationship where we can share our thoughts and feelings comfortably,
ask questions, work through difficult conversations with mutual respect, and celebrate the exciting moments
together. We'd love to be involved throughout the pregnancy, attend appointments whenever possible and
whenever you're comfortable with us being there, and receive regular updates as our little one grows. Just as
importantly, we want you to feel supported, respected, and comfortable expressing your own needs and
boundaries. We recognize that this is your pregnancy, and we want to approach the journey as a team, with
consideration for everyone's well-being.
We also hope that the connection we build will continue beyond the pregnancy. We'd love for you to become a
meaningful part of our extended family, perhaps even a close friend, while allowing our relationship to develop
naturally into something that feels right for all of us. We plan to be open with our child about their birth story
and the important role you played in helping us become a family. We want them to grow up understanding and
appreciating the people who helped make their life possible.
Above all, we hope this journey can be a positive and meaningful experience for you, too. We know that trust is
built over time through actions, not just words, and we want to do our part to create a relationship grounded in
honesty, care, and mutual respect.
Thank you for considering being part of such an important chapter in our lives. We hope that as you get to
know us, you feel the warmth, excitement, and the love we have to share. We'd be so happy to meet you, hear
your story, and discover whether we might be the right fit for one another.
With gratitude and warm wishes,
Roderick and Jordan
