Matt & Jeff
Toronto, Canada
Thank you so much for taking the time to consider us and to learn a little bit about who we are. We are incredibly excited to be on this journey toward becoming parents. For many years, we have hoped, dreamed and prayed that one day we would be able to take this step and build a family of our own. We are so grateful that you are considering helping make that dream possible. We know that becoming a surrogate is an incredibly generous and meaningful decision, and we have enormous respect for the commitment, trust and care that it involves. We hope that by sharing a little about ourselves, our relationship and the kind of family we hope to build, you will get a sense of who we are and whether we might be a good fit for one another.
We met online around Christmas in 2013, shortly after Matt had moved back to Canada after spending about a year and a half in Korea teaching English to kindergarteners. We started talking, met in person, and have been together ever since. Over the years, our relationship has grown from a new relationship into a true partnership and friendship. We moved in together in 2018, and in 2024 we bought our home in Toronto, where we've been building our life together ever since. We are best friends and genuinely enjoy spending time together. We love travelling and exploring the world, and some of our favourite memories have been the trips we've taken together—including visiting China and Portugal and, most recently, taking an Alaskan cruise. We've spent the last several years building a home and a life together, and now we're ready to take the next step and share that life with a child.
Sharon & Nicole
Toronto, Canada
We are here because we want to grow our family. While we are at the beginning of our journey, we have previous experience building our family through fertility treatments.
Our children, B and B, were both conceived using Sharon’s eggs and donor sperm, with Sharon carrying both pregnancies. After four IUI attempts, we welcomed our first son, B.
Our journey to having a second child came with additional challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. After six IUI attempts, we were overjoyed to be expecting another little boy, B.
Tragically, at 22 weeks, we experienced the heartbreaking loss of our son following an unexpected complication with the pregnancy. Just days earlier, everything had appeared healthy and on track. We had the opportunity to hold him, surround him with love, and say goodbye. Losing him was devastating and forever changed our family.
Approximately six weeks later, Sharon experienced a pregnancy-related cardiac event known as Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD). Although she has since recovered, she was strongly advised against carrying another pregnancy due to the significant health risks.
Navigating these experiences has been incredibly difficult, but our desire to grow our family remains. We are now hopeful and excited to explore a new path to welcoming another child into our lives.
Jonas & Yosef
Sweden
​
Hi! We’re Jonas and Yosef, a couple from Stockholm, Sweden. We’ve been together for 10 years and engaged for five, and from very early in our relationship, we knew that becoming parents was something we both deeply wanted.
We are both medical doctors and have built careers in healthcare. While Stockholm is home, we also love spending time at our country house in southern Sweden, where we can slow down and enjoy being together. Yosef is a dual U.S. and Swedish citizen, and we travel to California often to spend time with his family.
Becoming dads has been a lifelong dream for both of us. In fact, we started talking about having children within the very first year of our relationship. We feel incredibly fortunate in the life we have built together and know that we have so much love, stability, family, and support to offer a child.
As we begin our surrogacy journey, one of the things that matters most to us is the relationship we build with the woman who chooses to help us become parents. Our hope would be to have a genuine connection throughout the journey and, if it feels right for everyone, to remain in each other’s lives afterward. At the same time, we completely respect that every surrogate has her own hopes and boundaries around what that relationship looks like.
Our dream is to eventually have two children. If we formed a wonderful connection with our surrogate and she someday wanted to consider another journey together, that would be incredibly special to us — but never something we would expect.
We have PGT-A tested embryos at CReATe Fertility Centre in Toronto, created while living in Sweden, and we are excited and ready to take the next step toward growing our family.
More than anything, we hope to find someone with whom we can share this experience with openness, kindness, trust, and a lot of excitement. We know what an extraordinary gift surrogacy is, and we would be incredibly grateful to the person who chooses to take this journey alongside us.
With love,
Jonas & Yosef
Brian & Tal
Toronto, Ontario
We are Brian and Tal, it’s great to meet you! We are a loving, dynamic, warm and thoughtful couple from Toronto and have been happily married for eleven years. Fun and laughter are a big part of our daily lives, and we always try to appreciate the everyday things that bring us joy - especially long walks on a sunny day, or a really good movie 'find' on Netflix!
Being parents means everything to us. After several years of trying to grow our family, we experienced a long fertility journey that led to multiple rounds of IVF. We were blessed to welcome little Jay into our lives in 2024 - he is the center of our world. We love going on long walks with Jay in the stroller, exploring local neighbourhoods and restaurants, listening to fun music and dancing along, and spending time with family (from little cousins aged two, three, four, five and six, to great grandpa at age 100!)
Unfortunately, due to pregnancy-related complications, it isn't feasible to expand our family without the help of a caring and thoughtful surrogate partner. We can't wait to grow our family, and are looking for a special surrogate partner to help make this a reality. And little Jay is especially excited to become a big brother!
Melissa And Brian
Keswick, Ontario
Hi! We’re Melissa & Brian from Keswick, Ontario, along with our daughter Mia(Brian's daughter and Melissa's bonus daughter) and our pup Phoebe. We met at work, literally. Brian was overseeing a bank renovation, and Melissa was the bank manager. What started as playful banter over blueprints quickly turned into something more. Brian left his number “just in case,” Melissa texted anyway, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. Our path to growing our family hasn’t been straightforward. Due to endometriosis and a hormone-sensitive cancer diagnosis, carrying a pregnancy or continuing fertility treatments isn’t medically safe for Melissa. While this wasn’t the journey we imagined, it led us to surrogacy with clarity, gratitude, and deep respect for the incredible person who might help us grow our family. Surrogacy has been on our hearts, and we’re embracing it with so much hope and appreciation. We dream of the day we can look back with our baby in our arms and say we made it through this together.
​
As we move through this journey together, we hope to build a relationship rooted in trust, open communication, and mutual respect. We want to be a team, supporting one another every step of the way as we work toward the shared goal of bringing a healthy baby into the world. Your well-being, your voice, and your comfort will always matter to us. We envision you being a meaningful part of our lives before, during, and after the pregnancy, in whatever way feels right and comfortable for everyone involved. We believe relationships grow naturally, and we want any connection we build to be authentic, supportive, and grounded in care, never forced or expected. What you are offering us is an opportunity we never thought we’d have. This journey means everything to us, not just because it brings us closer to becoming parents, but because it fills a missing piece in our hearts and in our family. Melissa’s parents are beyond excited at the thought of becoming grandparents, and this path gives all of us hope, joy, and something truly beautiful to look forward to.

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 mean more than words can express.
Our names are Yoyo and Kevin, and we have been together for nearly two decades. We met in 2005, married in 2008, and have built a life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering support for one another. We love traveling, hiking in nature, and spending quiet evenings at home with tea and books. Through everything, we have always been each other’s safe place.
For many years, we dreamed of becoming parents. In 2019, we experienced the joy of pregnancy for the first time. We were beyond excited, already imagining our future as a family of three. Sadly, at eight weeks, we learned it was a rare molar pregnancy, and the pregnancy had to be terminated. Losing our baby was heartbreaking.
Just one month later, we received devastating news that the molar pregnancy had become cancerous. Thankfully, with the incredible care of the team at Sunnybrook Hospital, I underwent nine months of chemotherapy and was declared cancer-free in October 2020. It was one of the hardest chapters of our lives, but it also showed us the strength of our love and the support we could give one another.
Although the treatment saved my life, it caused early menopause and took away my ability to carry a child. Still, our dream of becoming parents remained. With renewed hope, we began fertility treatments using an egg donor. After eight unsuccessful embryo transfers, our doctor gently suggested that surrogacy might be our next path forward.
This is our first surrogacy journey, and while the road to parenthood has been very different from what we imagined, our hearts remain full of hope.
We dream of the simple joys of parenthood: bedtime stories, family holidays, little footsteps filling our home, and a lifetime of love to share. More than anything, we hope to create a warm and supportive home where our child will always feel safe, encouraged, and deeply cherished.
To us, surrogates are truly extraordinary women. The possibility that someone like you might help us fulfill our dream is something we can hardly put into words. If you choose to walk this journey with us, 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.
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.
