Title: Loving G/S looking for wonderful IP's

Blog Entry: Hello~ First off I want to say thank you for considering me to help you make the most important person in your life. What you and your family have gone through trying to have a baby is something that no one should be put through but it is going to make that little one that much more loved. I want to commend you for not giving up. With that here is a little about me. My name is Brooke and I am from Michigan. I am 24 years old and am 5”3 and 155Lb. I graduated from high school and went to a trade school for medical transcription but I am currently a stay-at-home mom. The first few years go by so fast and I don’t want to miss a thing. I am in good health and exercise everyday by running around with my kids. I have been with my husband for 9 years. We are true life high school sweethearts. He is the love of my life and I feel so lucky to say that. My husbands name is Jesse and he is 27 years old. He also graduated from high school and is currently in school working on his R.N. He works in Kidney dialysis and loves it. We own our home. Our neighborhood is safe and kid friendly. I would not want to live anywhere else. I have wanted to be a surrogate since I was pregnant with my daughter. I loved being pregnant (most people think I am nuts for this lol). After I had her and held her in my arms I realized that this is something that I HAVE to do. Now I have two little girls and they are my world. I look at them every day and just thank God that he gave me them. My oldest name is Kendall and she is 2. She was born at 39 weeks weighing 6 Lb and 18 ½ in. long. She is such a little firecracker lol. That kid makes me crack up every day. Her favorite things to do are play with her dolls, jump on the trampoline, and run around with our puppy Harley. My youngest child name is Lillian and she is 8 months old. She was also born at 39 weeks and weighed 7 Lb 8 Oz and was 21 ½ in long. Lillian is such a mommy’s girl. She is nothing but all smiles. Her favorite things to do are master sitting up, eat everything in sight, and watch her sister and puppy like a hawk. I feel so lucky to have two healthy sweet little girls. My conception, pregnancies, and deliveries have been easy and very uneventful (just the way you want them). Like I said I love being pregnant and can not wait to help another family have this gift. I want the IP’s to feel like they are part of EVERYTHING. Unfortunately I live in Michigan which isn’t surro-friendly but I know a lot of surrogates that have lived and delivered here with no problems.. The lawyer puts the comp down as “pain and suffering”. I would be willing to do the cycles and deliver in a different state though. I will travel as much as you need me to. There are a few things that I will not consider in this pregnancy which is termination due to medical issues and selective reduction. I believe that God gives you the child that he intends on you having and you should not be picky. I am a strong believer in “ Everything happens for a reason”. Other then that I am a really open person. I would love to talk with you more and learn more about you. I really hope that we are a good match so we can get started ASAP. I am ready when you are. I hate to talk money but that is part of the process I have my own insurance that would cover this pregnancy so that would save you around $10,000. I have included my compensation outline. I hope to talk with you real soon. God Bless!!! My Compensation Outline Surrogate Mother Fee- $23,000.00 Start Of Medication- $500.00 Monthly Expense Allowance (co-pays, vitamins, gas, food, ex. childcare, etc) -$200.00 Maternity Clothing- $500.00 (single pregnancy) $750.00 (multiple pregnancy) Embryo Transfer (this is for child care expenses, bed rest, gas, etc.) - $600.00 ($300.00 at start of injections and $300.00 day of embryo transfer) Multiples- $ 3,000 (per additional baby) Invasive Procedures (Amnio) - $500.00 I do not support reduction or termination but if you choose to have an amnio that’s fine. Cesarean Section (Doctors orders) - $2,500 Health Insurance- My insurance covers this pregnancy so no charge for you. Life Insurance Policy- Valued at $250,000. From first dose of medication through 12 weeks post delivery. Bed rest (Doctors orders) - $200.00 per week if bed rest is at home $500.00 per week if bed rest is in the hospital).

Legal Costs- Varies but is paid by the IP If there is any travel required, all hotel, airfare, meals, and transportation costs will be provided for my husband and I. ***My compensation is on the lower to average side. These are the websites that I gathered my information so you can compare them if you like. I am open to talk and work with the IP’s on compensation. I really hate to make this a business transaction because it is so much more.**** http://www.thesurrogacysource.com/sg_compensation.htm www.circlesurrogacy.com www.surromomsonline.com/answers/11.18.htm www.thesurrogacysource.com/sg_compensation.htm http://www.surromomsonline.com/support/showthread.php?t=138032
