Kfir, Devin & Caleb
Toronto, Ontario
Thanks for learning about our family. These are some of our stories and we’re pretty excited to get to know you too. The two of us met in 2011 and in our first year together we moved in together, lived in another city for a few months, and then came back to Toronto and bought our home. 13 years later, we both started our own businesses and adopted our little boy, Caleb.
Caleb came to us through Children’s Aid and we have a great relationship with his foster family and birth families where we meet up, share photos and videos, and are getting to feel like old friends. Caleb’s going to be a fantastic older brother - he has a big heart and is very curious. We’ve had a joyful couple of years since we met him on his first birthday.
Devin and Kfir - we’re a realtor and architect dad duo living in Toronto. We love cycling and we both volunteer and love to exercise. We both have brothers and parents who are involved - we talk to them daily. Our neighbourhood is fun and social with lots of walkable parks, cafes, and children’s programs and we’re very lucky to have our son in a great daycare.
Laughing together has been the best way to connect, but we know that this is a big commitment for us all to make. There is no template for this relationship. But we know that our family will only grow stronger with your support and trust in us. And, we trust you through pregnancy and this process.
Kanak & Suman
Toronto, Ontario
Why Us? We asked ourselves. Why is this happening to us? Like so many millions of people out there, we naively thought (and boldly assumed) that we would be parents to beautiful, brilliant kids someday. We debated through multiple conversations around “when”, “where”, “how many”, “boy or girl”, “preferred names”, etc. The audacity! We were so certain of our plans for life, little did we stop and think about life’s plans for us. But when reality hit us, it hit us hard. Like so many other tough situations in life, this harsh truth of us not being able to conceive was not easy to process (or digest). But we did. Slowly and over time, through multiple iterations, trials, ups and downs. This has been an extremely humbling experience and one we do not take for granted. All of this, has culminated into this moment, and here we are.
And now it is someone else (hopefully, one who can fulfil this dream of ours), asking- Why Us. Here is why and we wish to tell you.
We are Kanak and Suman - we are a hardworking, fun loving and easy-going couple based in Toronto, looking to embark on this journey to grow our family. We are hopeful intended parents, in search of a surrogate who can help realize this dream of ours. We have been together for nine years, married for seven years and been back in Toronto for the last four years. Our professional training and careers have taken us to different cities over the years (even before we met each other), but despite all the globe-trotting, we were destined to find each other!
Through all of life’s challenges, we have remained each other’s biggest strengths
and champions and overcome whatever difficult situations life swung our way.
We are caring, loving, dependable, practical, straightforward and honest people. We will value and respect our surrogate and be her pillar of strength and support, like we have with each other. And one day, through this journey, we hope to have a child, whom we can raise with the same ideals and values, and shower them with
unconditional love.
Bruno & Elizabeth
Toronto, Ontario
We are Elizabeth and Bruno, a loving couple living in Etobicoke, surrounded by peaceful parks, nature trails, and a close sense of community. Our path to parenthood has been shaped by loss, healing, and renewed hope, bringing us to surrogacy to help grow our family.
Elizabeth is a Registered Nurse dedicated to helping people feel safe, empowered, and supported. She enjoys cooking nourishing, gluten-free meals (with Bruno as her loyal taste-tester), practicing yoga and pilates, and reading inspirational, feel-good books.
Bruno works in information technology, supporting his team with patience, steadiness, and a dependable presence. He enjoys curating specialty coffee, planning travel adventures (with a special love for Portugal), and cheering for his favourite teams, Benfica and the Boston Bruins.
We love caring for our garden, exploring nature trails, and enjoying peaceful evenings at home. We value family traditions such as Sunday lunches, making our annual homemade tomato sauce, and gathering with loved ones during the holidays.
Our cat, Vinnie, is a beloved part of our lives. He brings curiosity, playfulness, and just the right amount of charm and sass to our home. We can already picture him peeking in on a bassinet or quietly settling nearby during bedtime stories.
Our hope is to build a connection rooted in trust, open communication, and mutual support. We are committed to fostering an experience that feels comfortable, meaningful, and respectful for everyone involved.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We look forward to meeting you, learning your story, and sharing this beautiful journey together.
With warmth,
Elizabeth & Bruno (and our cat, Vinnie)
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
Pablo, Hans & C
Norway
Hello!
We are looking for help to complete our family! In March 2025 we became parents through surrogacy for the first time. The first journey went very well, and we are now super happy being parents! Therefore we feel ready to plan towards a new little one to complete our family. Hopefully C and her new sibling can have a lot of joy from each other from childhood until late in life.
Pablo is from Spain, but moved to Norway for work in 2013. Hans is from Norway and we met here in 2017. Quite early in our relationship we talked about our dreams of becoming parents, and we were both on the same page. We got married in 2022, and started our first surrogacy journey right after. C. was born in the US, but we don't feel secure starting a journey there in the current political climate, so we are trying our luck in Canada.
In our free time, Pablo relaxes by swimming, and Hans by doing figure skating. We both love cooking, and Pablo has a childlike love for cakes. As a family we try to go to the pool, so C. can get used to the water, she seems to really enjoy it. Life has changed quite a lot in the last year, but we love our new existence. Time slips by so fast, and each month is a new adventure with C. She can no longer fall asleep on our chests like she used to, but can now crawl and she tries to eat all our house plants! We hope to have a second child, and look forward to exploring all these new phases once again.
In our first journey we got a super close bond with our surrogate and her family. They all feel like part of our family now. We have witnessed first hand the love, bravery and grit that goes into carrying a child for someone else. We are eternally thankful for her and her family, but also that we got to experience the generosity and love that exists out there in the world. We are looking forward to building a new, strong relationship, and having the privilege to share this journey with a wonderful surrogate.
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
Here we are again trying to extend our family. As a gay rainbow family our options are limited as for many other families. We are also an expat family and have been living away from home for a very long time as individuals and as a family. We have always dreamt to have a big family, but with all the challenges we set our hearts to have at least two children. If anything, we wish that every family that is on the same journey could have the same opportunity we had, but we also know that is unlikely. There’s nothing that separates us or makes us more special than them. All we can say to you is that we would be so honoured and grateful if you decide to choose us. We would love first and foremost to be able to be parents again and in extending our family give our daughter the opportunity to be an amazing, compassionate and loving sister. We would love to be able to be a family of four. From our end we will commit to supporting you and your family, being with you along the way and hopefully afterwards if that is something you also want. We will treat you with the ultimate respect and care. We believe in organic relationships that grow at their own pace, without pressure and demands. One for which we can set clear boundaries and manage expectations that will allow everyone involved to enjoy this magical experience. Where communication is the key foundation, with the understanding that both families still need to attend to their own and at the same time make time for each other. A relationship where the foundation is built on trust from both sides.
Being parents, we understand what limited time we all have to juggle work, family and social lives. We want to make sure you get the support you need and also have your downtime. We wish for a calm and peaceful journey, filled with loving memories and mutual support. Knowing you can count on us as we want to know we can count on you.
This is a very unique experience, one that very few on this earth have the opportunity to embrace and share. So let’s buckle up and enjoy the ride!
Tal, Brian & Jay
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 ten 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 carrier, exploring local neighbourhoods and restaurants, listening to fun music and dancing along, and spending time with family (from little cousins aged two, three, four and five, to great grandpa at age 99!)
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!
We need an amazing person like you to step into our story and deeply appreciate your exploring joining us on this journey. We are so grateful for your consideration and taking the time to learn about our family. We hope to meet you soon!
Adrien, Pablo & Álvaro
Paris, France
This is us, Pablo (the dark tall man from Spain), Adrien (the more brown-ish with white beard French guy) and Alvaro (defnitely the cutest)! We are a Spanish-French gay couple with a Canadian son living in Paris, but we spend a lot of time in the Paris countryside where Adrien's family lives and also in the South of Spain where Pablo's parents still live. Alvaro lightened up our life just during the famous Covid time and made all the lockdowns sound like a nice memory.
When he turned 2, we looked at each other thinking "Thank God, we don't have another baby right now, we wouldn't be able to survive"... Afterwards, school started for Alvaro, he became somewhat more autonomous and independent, we renovated our flat so that he can have his own bedroom and space, we went back to Canada a few times, and we began to think about a possible second journey. At the same time (probably because of his classmates), Alvaro started to talk about having a little brother or a little sister (he also talked about having a rabbit, but this is another story). And this is when the second journey starts, and the whole journey starts really with YOU! :)
We’d love for you to take a moment to read our profile to get to know us, who we are, and what this journey means to our family. We’ve shared our story and our hopes for growing our family as openly as we can (and as non-native English speakers, we hope you’ll forgive any little quirks in our writing!).
We’re deeply grateful for your time and for considering helping us bring our second child into the world — a little brother or sister for Álvaro. This next step in our journey is incredibly special to us, and we feel honoured to even be considered by someone as selfless and generous as you.
If our story resonates with you, we’d be so happy to connect and share more. ❤️
Graeme and Jonas
From Scotland
It started with a request from Graeme to find ‘a movie kind of love’. It was answered
by Jonas and 14 years later we can safely say ‘Movies lie’! It’s more like
‘Bridesmaids’ than ‘Notting Hill’ but it’s way more fun.
You know when something feels like it will never happen and then it does? When we
first spoke to each other it was instant. We now have that same feeling about having
a child as we have both always known we wanted to start a family. We have been
looking at surrogacy since 2019 and have created our embryos as well as learning
loads of information and connecting with lots of IP’s across the UK.
Graeme grew up in the Highlands of Scotland and loves to bake which has stemmed
from his love of eating cake. He enjoys baking for others as his gift giving and does
occasional birthday cakes for his friends child. He also enjoys his house plants which
are spread all over the house in different states of ‘alive’.
Jonas is French and the funny one (self proclaimed) and enjoys planning things for
us to do. He is also the Chef of the house as he loves to cook and create food. In
his world recipes are only suggestions and it’s more about feelings.
We currently live in Scotland with our four pets who’s life is far too comfortable. I
think they deserve a child to play around with.
As a couple we both love food and when not experimenting at home we like to go out
and try new things. We both love being out in nature for walks with the dogs but also
really enjoy just being home watching a movie, tv series, Manga or Drag Race. We
both enjoy Fantasy and Sci-Fi with Graeme geeking over Star Trek and Buffy but not
in a crazy way, honest. Jonas is an avid reader but keeps buying books when he still
has got many books unread.
Our work does keep us busy. As a Payroll Analyst, Graeme loves numbers so this
suits him well, although if you told him he would work with numbers when he was at
school he would not have believed you. Jonas is a Sustainable Consultant who
specialises in flood management and has got a broader interest in the environment.
We find our balance and do our best to make time for each other, creating memories.
Friends and Family are very important to us and are all very supportive with our
surrogacy journey and we want any potential surrogate to become part of our lives
and we can only hope for a strong bond with them and their family. It’s important for
us that any potential child knows where they came from and have that connection.
We look forward to the next step in our journey and we hope to meet a friend that
can be part of that too.
