Fellow Mum 4 Orphan Embryo?

Would any of you fellow Mums out there be willing/able to help us with our one remaining embryo??? Do you enjoy being pregnant, but don't necessarily want anymore kids yourself? They say people who need people are the luckiest, and I finally know what that means, because without that need, we wouldn't have met our wonderful egg-donor family, and without that need, I wouldn't be writing this to you. I would be less alive, more insular and less fully interactive in the world...

We are very happy parents to one beautiful three-year-old daughter. We have a dilemma, however, in that there is one embryo remaining from the fertility treatment we undertook in order to conceive her. We would love to have a brother or a sister for her, but I am advised not to attempt to carry another child.

Because she was created with the generous help of an egg donor, we are also not allowed by NZ law to donate our embryo to anyone else. Unable to bear the thought of simply 'discarding' this embryo that is a potential sibling for our daughter--and also unable to bear the thought of never knowing whether or not this potential child would have joined us, had it had the chance--we are very much in need of someone's loving help!

Because we have such a very small extended family of our own, we very much welcome the idea of adding to it in this way. Are any of you fellow Mums out there in a position to think about pursuing going on this journey with us??? And be this embryo's potential 'Tummy Mummy'!? It's just too much to ask, isn't it? And dare we hope for a second miracle?

Hi, is there a criteria for the surrogate? Like age? Previous mc's etc

I would also consider this in the future if my partner was agreeable. But as ArielAngel said atm we are trying for our 3rd and last child and then would be BFing for 1-2 yrs :(
Are you looking for someone immediately and would they have to be local?

Time for a bit of an update on our surrogacy journey: Our family has had incredibly generous offers from more than one Mum who hasn’t yet quite completed her own family, or is currently in the process of egg donation, or resides outside of NZ. We have also had interest from more than one fantastic volunteer Gestational Surrogate who, like me, would be at undue risk in attempting this pregnancy. We have gone down the road on our journey varying distances with each, and happily we are still in contact with many of these wonderful women. I would like to say a heartfelt public thank you to each of you! xx Alas and alack, however--as Shakespeare says-- we are still looking for that special Tummy Mummy to help us get our Embryo out of frozen storage, in order to see if she or he will indeed join us in the world….

Hi RachFizz! Thanks so much for your good wishes. Great to hear from you. Best of luck to you now and in the future!! xx

Thank you so much to all those who helped along the way. Our orphan embryo did not survive the thawing process in the end. We are heartbroken, but eternally grateful to the amazing surrogate match who gave us our chance.

Thank you for your post and the cyber hugs nannikin.
