Jaclyn & Anton
Toronto, Ontario
Hello! We’re Jaclyn and Anton.
We’re a warm, creative, fun-loving couple who met in 2021 and married in 2025. What began as a friendship during COVID quickly grew into something more, built on a shared love of laughter, meaningful conversation, good food, and spending time together. Over the years, we’ve created a close and happy life filled with family, creativity, and plenty of cuddles with our beloved cat, Rosie.
Both of us have backgrounds in writing and improv, and we love making funny animation videos together. Home is our favourite place to be, especially when we’re together. What makes our relationship truly special is the kindness, open communication, and unwavering support we show each other every day. These qualities have been the foundation of our relationship from the very beginning.
Our journey to parenthood has not been a straightforward one. Due to Jaclyn’s cardiac history, carrying a pregnancy was never a safe option, and we always knew that building our family would require a different path. While there have been challenges and disappointments along the way, each step has only strengthened our commitment to becoming parents. We are incredibly grateful to now be moving forward through surrogacy and remain hopeful, optimistic, and deeply appreciative of the people who make this journey possible.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about us. We are excited about the future and look forward to growing the loving family we have always dreamed of creating together.
Rolf and Henning
Hamburg, Germany
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering helping us become parents. Becoming a surrogate is an act of immense generosity and courage, and we feel incredibly grateful that someone like you might want to share this journey with us. We are Rolf and Henning from Chile and Germany, married since 2019 and based in Hamburg, Germany. We met 2014 and back then, we focused on travel, careers, and meaningful projects to us like environmental work. But as we grew closer to our families by visiting Rolf’s in Chile and Henning’s across Europe, our dream of parenthood took center stage. When we started exploring the options for building a family, we learned that surrogacy isn’t possible in Germany, leaving adoption with long waiting times and no guarantees that it will ever happen or surrogacy abroad as the only paths. We were incredibly thankful to discover that Canada offers a safe, ethical and compassionate environment for intended parents and surrogates to come together. After visiting and getting in contact with parents that have been on a surrogacy journey in Canada, we were touched by how altruistic the system is and how women choose to become surrogates from a genuine wish to help others. We want an open and transparent relationship with you, built on mutual trust, respect and honesty, which drew us to Canada. This feels right for us, especially because it gives our child the meaningful chance to stay connected with you over time, including meeting you in person when they’re older. We’re already following this approach with our egg donor and would love a warm bond with you through video calls and chats, visits for ultrasound and the birth and afterwards always fully respecting your privacy. If you decide that we’re the right match, please know that we would honor your incredible gift by being the best parents we can be. We will always tell our child about the remarkable woman who carried them and helped bring them into the world with care and kindness. Our below profiles and the video hopefully give you a good insight in who we are and why we want to become parents. We’d be delighted to meet you via video call to answer any questions you may have. With warmest wishes, Rolf & Henning
Yoyo & Kevin
Toronto, Ontario
Even though we may not have met yet, we already feel immense gratitude toward women like you who consider helping families grow through surrogacy. Your kindness and generosity are truly extraordinary.
Our names are Yoyo and Kevin, and we have been together for nearly two decades. We met in 2005, fell in love quickly, and married in 2008. Over the years, we have built a life filled with love, laughter, friendship, and unwavering support for one another. We enjoy traveling, hiking in nature, and spending quiet evenings at home together with tea and books. Through every stage of life, we have always been each other’s safe place.
For many years, we dreamed of becoming parents and creating a loving home for a child. In 2019, we experienced the joy of pregnancy for the first time. We were beyond excited and already imagining our future as a family of three. From the very beginning, we dreamed about the little life growing inside me and imagined the family we would become. Kevin often said he hoped for a little girl who would be as kind and lovely as her mother.
But at eight weeks, our world suddenly changed. We learned that the pregnancy was a rare molar pregnancy, and we had to undergo an emergency termination. Losing our baby was heartbreaking. When we returned home from the hospital, we held each other and cried together, trying to process the pain and emptiness we felt.
Only one month later, we received even more devastating news: the molar pregnancy had become cancerous. We were urgently referred to Sunnybrook Hospital, where Dr. Osborne and the incredible nurses at the Odette Cancer Centre cared for me with extraordinary compassion and professionalism. During one of the darkest periods of our lives, their kindness gave us strength and hope.
Thankfully, the cancer was treatable with chemotherapy. I endured nine long months of treatment, and in October 2020, I was finally declared cancer-free and in remission. It was a journey that tested us emotionally and physically, but it also showed us how deeply we could support and love one another through even the hardest moments.
Although the treatment saved my life, it also caused early menopause and took away my ability to carry a child. Even then, we were not ready to give up on our dream of becoming parents. With hope in our hearts, we turned to Create Fertility and, under Dr. Glass’s guidance, began our journey using an egg donor. We held onto hope through eight embryo transfers, but sadly none were successful. Eventually, Dr. Glass gently suggested that surrogacy might be the path meant for us.
This is our very first surrogacy journey, and everything about it feels both emotional and humbling. While the road to parenthood has not been the one we imagined, it has taught us resilience, gratitude, and the true meaning of hope.
To us, surrogates are extraordinary people. You are compassionate, selfless, and deeply brave. The possibility that someone like you would help us bring a child into this world is something we can hardly put into words. It would mean giving us the chance to finally experience bedtime stories, family holidays, tiny footsteps in our home, and all the love we have been waiting so long to share.
We dream of creating a warm, loving, and supportive home where our child will always feel safe, encouraged, and deeply cherished. Family means everything to us, and if you choose to help us on this journey, you will forever hold a special place in our hearts and in our child’s story.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for considering us and for the incredible gift you make possible for families like ours.
With gratitude and warmth,
Yoyo & Kevin
JP and David
Toronto, Ontario
Hi — and truly, thank you for being here.
Before anything else, we want to acknowledge something important: choosing to become a surrogate is not casual. It is thoughtful, brave, generous, and deeply human. However this journey unfolds for you, we respect the intention and care behind even considering it.
We’re David and JP, and we live in Toronto with our four-year-old husky/shepherd mix, Nora, who fully believes she is our first-born child (she's not entirely wrong).
We met in 2017 after yoga classes—first as friendly faces, then as two people who found reasons to linger and talk a little longer each week. One night, towards the end of one of our lengthy first dates, we started to talk about the future. David shared a vision he had carried quietly for years: two Italian “nonni” at the head of a table, surrounded by good food, strong traditions, laughter, and a family deeply connected to one another.
That image, rooted in culture, belonging, and chosen family, has stayed with us ever since.
Fast-forward seven years of building a home and life together, and we were married in the fall of 2024. Now, we have begun taking real steps toward growing that table. As with so many couples on this journey, we have faced triumphs and setbacks already. This process has asked us to be patient, to be vulnerable, and to lean into each other even more deeply. It has strengthened us and has made us certain.
The home we hope to build is one filled with music, with curiosity about the world, with travel, and learning and laughter. JP brings steady dedication and a “let’s figure it out” constant to everything he does while David's zest for adventure never allows for a dull moment. What remains unwavering is our care for family and those closest to us. Together, we want to raise a child who feels secure, supported, and endlessly loved.
If you are reading this, you are not just helping someone have a baby. You are helping build a family, a future, and a lifetime of Sunday lunches and bedtime stories and first-day-of-school photos.
We hope for a relationship grounded in respect, openness, and mutual support—one that feels natural, communicative, and meaningful for everyone involved. We would be honoured to walk this journey beside you, supporting you every step of the way.
Thank you for considering us.
Warmly,
David & JP
Adrien, Pablo & Alvaro
Paris, France
Meet Pablo, Adrien, and their son Alvaro, a Spanish-French family living in Paris whose greatest adventure has been becoming parents.
After welcoming Alvaro through surrogacy in 2020, their lives were forever changed. What began as a dream became a family filled with laughter, travel, love, and countless cherished memories. Now, as Alvaro grows and talks excitedly about becoming a big brother, they are hoping to begin the next chapter of their story.
Disney has always held a special place in their hearts. They believe, much like the stories they love, that families are created in many different ways and that the most meaningful journeys are built on hope, kindness, and a little magic!
As they pursue a second surrogacy journey, they are looking for more than someone to help them grow their family, they hope to build a genuine friendship based on trust, respect, and open communication. They deeply value the relationship they shared with their first surrogate and hope to create another meaningful connection that lasts long after the journey is complete.
Whether spending time in Paris, visiting family in the French countryside, or enjoying sunny days in Spain, Pablo, Adrien, and Alvaro are excited to welcome another child into their lives and share the love that already fills their home.
Their greatest wish is simple: to grow their family, create a sibling for Alvaro, and share this incredible journey with someone who becomes a treasured part of their story.
Adam & Ash
Calgary, Alberta
Hello! We’re Adam & Ash — a fun-loving couple from Calgary, and we’re so excited to be on this journey to grow our family through surrogacy.
Our story began eight years ago at a board game night in Toronto, where we met by chance and instantly clicked. Since then, we’ve built a life full of love, laughter, and shared adventures, from cozy movie nights to hiking in the Rockies, and from karaoke singalongs to exploring the world together (Japan, Germany, Greece, Brazil and Korea are just a few of our favourite stops!).
About us:
Adam is originally from Stratford, Ontario. He’s a car enthusiast (especially Volkswagens!) who started his career in the auto industry before switching gears to become a software engineer in Calgary. He’s easygoing, a great cook, and keeps in touch with his Ontario roots through online gaming and regular visits. Ash is originally from the UK and came to Canada for a PhD at UBC. He later trained in medicine in Toronto, where he met Adam. Now, he works as a pediatric genetics doctor at Alberta Children’s Hospital and runs a research lab at the University of Calgary. Ash is passionate about helping children and families, and he brings that same care and compassion into every part of his life. He also loves singing, theatre, and karaoke!
Together, we’ve created a warm and welcoming home in Calgary, surrounded by a supportive network of friends and family. We’ve worked with an egg donor and fertility clinic to create 10 healthy, genetically-screened embryos, and we’re now hoping to match with a surrogate who shares our values of kindness, openness, and mutual respect.
We believe in honest communication, shared support, and building a meaningful relationship with our surrogate…one that feels natural, respectful, and inclusive. We’d love to be involved throughout the pregnancy, from regular updates to being there for the birth, and ideally staying in touch beyond that if it feels right for everyone.
Our dream is to raise a child in a home filled with love, laughter, and curiosity. We want to share our passions, our travels, our silly traditions, and our deep commitment to family with a little one who will be truly cherished. We know that surrogacy is an extraordinary gift, and we are deeply grateful for the possibility of walking this path with someone as generous and courageous as you. Thank you for considering being part of our journey. We’d be honoured to get to know you and, together, create someone truly special who will be loved beyond measure.
Adam & Ash
When David and Allen met for Thai food on a chilly Toronto evening, neither expected it would lead to a lifetime of shared adventures — from backwoods camping to an around-the-world trip. Now, years later, this devoted couple is ready to embark on their most meaningful journey yet: building their family through surrogacy.
Together, they’ve built a life grounded in respect, laughter, and love — a balance of art and adventure, city lights and quiet forests. Surrounded by supportive family and friends (including an egg donor who happens to be David’s sister), they dream of welcoming a child into their world of warmth, curiosity, and connection.
As they navigate the emotional and intimate path to parenthood, David and Allen hope to share not just genetics, but a genuine partnership with the person who will help make their dream come true. It’s a story about love that expands — from a first date on the waterfront to the first cries of a new beginning.
“Waffles, Wanderlust & the Wish for Family” — a real-life love story about trust, chosen family, and the courage to grow something beautiful together.
Fabiano, Cameron & M
Sydney, Australia
We are already parents to a little girl who changed our lives completely. When we found out our first transfer had worked, it felt like everything shifted quietly into place. Life stopped being about us and started being about her.
Parenthood has been the most grounding experience we’ve had. We are constantly learning about our daughter, ourselves, and the kind of parents we want to be. We try to raise her in a way that allows her to grow freely, while always knowing she is deeply loved. Watching her become her own person has been one of the greatest privileges of our lives.
None of this would exist without our surrogate. One decision from one family changed our entire story. Having been through this before, we understand the trust, responsibility, and commitment involved, and that experience shapes how we approach this second journey.
We are a gay rainbow family, and our path to having children is intentional and limited. We always hoped to have more than one child, and if we are fortunate enough, we would love for our daughter to grow up with a sibling. Someone to share childhood memories with, learn alongside, and support long after we are gone.
Since our first journey, we’ve built a new chapter in Australia. Surrounded by community, other rainbow families, and an outdoor lifestyle we love, it feels like home. We are grateful for the stable and happy life we’ve created here.
Having already walked this path once, we approach it calmly. We believe in clear communication, mutual respect, honesty, and trust. We understand everyone has their own family, responsibilities, and boundaries, and from our side, we will always strive to be organised, supportive, and respectful.
We love being fathers in the home we’ve created, and we would love to welcome another child into it. We have been trying to grow our family again for over a year now. It hasn’t happened yet, but that time has given us clarity. We know we are ready, and we know how much we would value the opportunity if it comes.
If reading this feels comfortable to you, we would be very happy to continue the conversation.
Rebecca, Lorne & E
Toronto, Ontario
We are Rebecca and Lorne, intended parents from Toronto. Our five year-old daughter, is an intended sister! We don’t know you yet, but we’re excited to meet you and to know your story – your story in general, and the story of what led you here. In the meantime, here’s a bit of our story.
About two months ago, "E" saw a pregnant woman crossing the street in front of us. She said, “look, that lady has a baby in her tummy. I’m excited for the baby. I feel good for that lady.” It was such a pure thing to say. We’ve had conversations with her about how hard we’ve tried to have a second child, and how it just hasn’t worked. We know she’s sad about it. So for her to feel joy for someone else having a baby seemed so selfless and sweet. It made us think of surrogacy, which is a selfless act of love, and it seemed like a sign that we should finally move ahead with trying to find a surrogate.
Our journey started in 2016, and we were so lucky to have our daughter in 2019 through IVF, after several losses. Unfortunately, the second child we longed for never came. We are the type of people who don’t like to impose on others, which made surrogacy hard to contemplate. It seems like the ultimate imposition! At the same time, we hope that this quality sets us up to be very respectful and considerate intended parents.
Thank you for thinking of this journey– truly. We are hope to meet you soon!
Rebecca and Lorne
