Hi, it's Carley and Ethan Blumenthal! We cannot wait to be parents and are so excited to be on this surrogacy journey! Any and all donations are appreciated more than you know. We have always dreamed of being parents and can't believe that our dreams will finally become a reality! I (Carley) have several health conditions (POTS, hEDS, MCAS) that make it unsafe for me to carry a baby. This was heartbreaking news because since I was little all I ever wanted to be was a mom. After taking some time, Ethan and I decided that surrogacy is the best way to build our family. 🫶 We currently live in Austin, TX but are both originally from Chicago, IL. We met in 2012 at the University of Illinois where we both studied Economics. We have been married for almost 4 years and have the most adorable aussiedoodle: Chloe! (she’s 2!) 🐾 We can't wait to give Chloe a sibling and grow our family! (in the event the pregnancy doesn't take, we intend to utilize these funds to move forward with adoption)
