Art was instantly struck by Amber’s smile, humor and intellect. Amber fell in love with Art’s wit, love of family and adventurousness. We got married after 4 years of growing, traveling and laughing together. <strong>Amber delivered our beautiful son, “Mac” in 2023</strong></p> </div> </div>

<h2>WHAT LED US TO SURROGACY</h2><p>Amber’s pregnancy with Mac was normal and healthy <strong>until the delivery</strong>. Amber experienced a large uterine rupture and Mac was delivered via an emergency c-section that required a skilled surgeon and blood transfusion. Amber and Mac are both <strong>very fortunate</strong> to be alive and healthy. The surgeon who saved their lives advised Amber that she is at <strong>high risk</strong> for another life-threatening rupture recurrence and should not attempt to carry another pregnancy.</p> </div>

<h2>FAMILY TRADITIONS AND VALUES</h2><p>We’re a family of independent thinkers who value hard work and showing our love through acts of service. We also <strong>love quality time with family and friends</strong>. Our home is pretty typical for a family with a preschooler and two full-time working parents. Our weekdays revolve around family routine that includes time for togetherness and rest. On weekends, we like to have leisurely breakfasts, make calls to our extended family and get outside to explore Charlotte.</p><p>We host family and friends often and we travel to visit Art’s family in Europe once or twice a year. <strong>Fun fact</strong>: Art’s first language is<strong> Russian</strong> -that is the language he and Mac speak at home! Amber is currently taking lessons to catch up so that the whole family can<strong> enjoy two languages together.</strong></p><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21091" src="https://thebiggestask.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_5128-rotated.jpg" alt="" width="1800" height="2400" /></p><h2>WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN A MATCH</h2><p>We hope to have an open relationship with <strong>trust </strong>and <strong>communication</strong>. We intend to be present, accessible and respectful without being overbearing. We look forward to supporting our GC on this journey and hope that we have a relationship that grows into an organic <strong>friendship and connection.</strong></p><p> </p><p>EXTRA INFORMAITON</p><p><strong>Names: </strong>Amber & Art</p><p><strong>Location: </strong>Charlotte, NC</p><p>Number of Embryos: 5 PGS tested embryos</p><p>Agency/Management Team: <em>The Biggest Ask</em></p><p>Fertility Clinic: Reproductive Specialists of the Carolinas</p><p>Surrogate Compensation: Medium/High</p><p>Requirements: ASRM guidelines, open to vaccines, & termination up to the IPs.</p> </div>
