Dear Shelley,
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done to help us. We feel like we have been on an incredible journey with you. There have been devastating highs and devastating lows, but throughout it all, you have been constant in your optimism, support and loving care for us and our wonderful donors. We thank you so much for this last cycle, which we have only been able to do thanks to your generosity and compassion.
If we are lucky enough to have a child, we know he or she will be all the more special because of our beautiful donor and the person who has made it all possible and tried so hard for us.
With our love and gratitude…

Dearest Shelley,
Just look at my beautiful girls! They are the joy of my life and complete my world more than words can say! Thank you so very much from the depths of my heart. I think of you every day and will always remember the generosity of our surrogate. I hope you can remind her of how much we love her.
Shelley, thank you for doing what the Lord has called you to do. With hearts overflowing…

Shelley,
I just want to make sure you know how much my life has been touched by you. You have given me the opportunity to do a wonderful thing for strangers. I choose to think of you as an ‘enabling angel’! You, Shelley, touch people on both ends of the spectrum by just being you. I hope t hat I too can achieve a career that is as rich as yours – one that will fulfill my spirit.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart – for everything. With love…

Dear Shelley,
We would like to thank you for all of the encouragement and support that you have given us, and for leading us to our surrogate. We could not have wished for a more perfect ‘angel’.
You have given a window of hope which was not available to us in England and you have made a difficult journey very smooth with your thoughtfulness and efficiency. With love and admiration for all your wonderful work…

Dear Shelley,
We are so happy to have met you. We certainly feel blessed to have such a wonderful human working with us on such an important step in our lives. You are an incredibly lovely person and we instantly felt a warm connection with you. Every now and then you meet someone who has such a lovely disposition and you feel grateful for having crossed paths. You are that.
We look forward to this process and hope the result will be that every year when we’re celebrating the birthday of our youngest child that we’ll have a special toast to you and our soon to be generous donor.

Dear Shelley,
We wanted to thank you for all of your help and guidance. From the first time we sat down to speak with you, we knew we had made the right decision. With three failed IVF cycles in four years and an impending surgery, we had some apprehension about beginning a new process, particularly one with complicated emotional and financial elements. However, you made us completely at ease with your warmth and professionalism. When we left your office, we were not only relieved by also elated, confident we were on the right path.
Also, we can’t thank you enough for bringing our surrogate to us. Thank you for recommending her and for going out of your way to retain her for us. You were, of course, absolutely right…she is a lovely woman and we are thrilled to have her as our Surrogate.
What you provide is such a special gift to people. We hope you know that, regardless of the outcome, we are enormously grateful. You have given us back a sense of joy about becoming a family, along with confidence, peace of mind…and hope.
With sincerest thanks…
