Campaign Story

This Journey comes with a large financial burden, so we are reaching out to for funding help.

Intended Parents searching for the right Gestational Carrier match for surrogacy. 

We are looking for a kind, honest, respectful, caring person that can openly communicate the good, bad, and ugly as this journey together will no doubt have highs and lows along the way and hopefully will become part of our extended family.

We have been married 24 years together 26.
We have two children from Michelle’s previous marriage and Carl has no biological children other than an angel baby and our embryos waiting in Cryo in Eugene Oregon.

We started our fertility journey over 9 years ago, with 2 rounds of IVF in 2025 that ended with loss of our baby girl at 13wks due to bleeding, multiple fibroids, late-stage placenta percreta, cervical ectopic, thinned bulging cervix that caused an emergency hysterectomy on July 4th, 2025, then found brain tumor Dec 22nd and just had that removed on Feb 5th, 2026, the surgery was successful. We are ready to move forward with our next chapter of surrogacy.

This has been a long heartbreaking journey expecially this past year, but we still have hope we will find the right match.

We have six embryos waiting and would love to be able to bring one of our babies earthside. We are hoping to find a lower compensation if possible because we have exhausted a lot of funds over the past 9 years. We are not ready to give up yet as we still have hope through surrogacy.

We are hoping to find someone who we can make a close personal connection with that will carry and bring our precious baby into this world with us.

We would be so grateful if you would please consider helping us with funds for surrogacy.

    Starting over

    Our first independent surrogate match journey did not work out, and we are now starting over in our search for a surrogate through an agency this time and we are currently in the process of finding a solid match.
