Fabiano, Cameron, and M
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!
Manmeet & Harsh
Vancouver, British Columbia
Harsh and I crossed paths in 2017 through Instagram, initially drawn together by our shared cultural roots, passion for fiery South Asian cuisine, and mutual wanderlust. What began as a casual acquaintance evolved into a deep bond over months of conversation, despite the vast distance separating us — he in India, and I in Canada. Against the odds, our connection blossomed into something more profound. From a long distance relationship to a newlywed life during the COVID pandemic, we have overcome many obstacles in our lives on our journey to be together. Now, we are eagerly hoping to welcome a lovely surrogate into our lives to assist us in building a family that we both deeply desire.
We love to spend time outdoors (e.g., kayaking), watching shows on Netflix (we are big fans of the Bridgerton show!), and exploring new restaurants to satisfy Harsh’s passion for food as a dedicated foodie! We also love to travel, and to discover hidden gems in our city.
Our Lifestyle: We live in a suburban home on a quiet street that is mainly composed of families with young children. We have a spacious backyard with ample space for our child to play, and we envision welcoming a dog into our family as a future companion. Located approximately an hour from Vancouver, our town offers an ideal setting for raising a family away from the hectic pace of city life. We have access to excellent hiking trails and playgrounds, making it a welcoming community for young families. We are a young couple, who love to spend time outdoors, hosting dinners for our friends and family, and discovering hidden gems in our city.
Manmeet: At just two months old, I contracted Polio. For the past 3 years, I have been experiencing medical complications. I’m currently on medications that help to maintain my health, but they are unsafe for pregnancy. As a result, we were advised to pursue surrogacy. When I received this news, I was devastated. It felt like another poignant reminder of how I could not escape the shadow of my disability. Carrying a baby had always been a cherished dream of mine as a woman; now, it felt like I faced another huge mountain on my journey towards motherhood. However, having Harsh by my side served to remind me that this wasn’t a mountain that I had to climb alone. He is one of the most caring and selfless people that I’ve ever met. His words of encouragement and unwavering support gives me strength to pursue surrogacy so that we can both achieve our shared dream of becoming parents.
Our Commitment to You:
To our surrogate, we want to convey our heartfelt appreciation for your willingness to give us a chance to start a family. We will do our best to make your pregnancy as happy and comfortable as possible. We are prepared to cover all costs and expenses associated with the pregnancy, and we will do our absolute best to ensure that you feel our gratitude throughout the entire journey. We want our relationship with you to be built on trust and friendship, ensuring that you feel valued and we feel included in the pregnancy.
We can’t even describe how much we long to meet you. Through your selfless gift, we will get to become parents, a dream that is incomplete without you. We are filled with anticipation at the thought of sharing our firsts with you – from hearing our baby’s first heartbeat, feeling their kicks, discussing our nursery plans, showing you the adorable baby clothes we’ve picked out, to finally, to finally, sharing the experience of becoming first time parents with you. We would be a team on this special journey together!
With all of our love,
Harsh & Manmeet

Thank you so much for considering us as potential intended parents to work with! First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your decision to be a surrogate. What you're doing is truly incredible - it's a gift of hope, and it gives families like ours the chance to fulfill our dream of starting a family. Your selflessness will have a profound, life-changing impact on us, and while we may never be able to repay you fully, we promise to pay it forward in every way we can.
A bit about us: we’re a gay couple in our mid-30s who met in San Francisco during our 20s. We’ve been inseparable ever since and have been lucky enough to share seven amazing years of marriage over the past decade. Together, we’ve faced life’s ups and downs, which has only strengthened our bond. From moving across countries and embracing new cultures to coming out to our families, buying our first home, and navigating the challenges life has thrown our way, each experience has deepened our love and understanding of each other. Our journey has taken us from the vibrant streets of San Francisco, where we fell in love, to the tranquil landscapes of Vancouver, British Columbia, which we now call home. Our relationship has grown stronger every step of the way, and we’re so excited to take this next step toward parenthood.
Coming from large, close-knit families ourselves, we’ve always dreamed of having a family of our own. This is our second time embarking on the surrogacy journey. Our first attempt involved a wonderful donor from Canada and a surrogate from Vancouver. While we had healthy embryos, the journey unfortunately didn’t result in a successful pregnancy, even after multiple tries. However, we are forever grateful for the amazing people who supported us, including our surrogate, with whom we've built a lifelong connection. She continues to cheer us on, offering encouragement as we remain determined to become parents. That experience only strengthened our bond as a couple and deepened our commitment to this path.
Once again, thank you for being such an important part of our journey. We are committed to honoring your incredible gift as we work to grow our family. We feel so fortunate to be starting this process and are deeply appreciative of our families, friends, and remarkable individuals like you who make it possible for us to pursue our dreams. We can’t wait to meet you and begin this exciting journey together as we work toward becoming dads!
With heartfelt gratitude,
Vishal & Uren
June, Blake & James
Guelph, Ontario
Our names are Blake, June & James (3) , and we’d like to thank you for taking the time to visit and learn more about it. We feel privileged for this opportunity, and hopefully for the chance to meet you! We met in 2010 while both pursuing graduate studies. Blake was studying psychology, while June was pursuing research in wildlife biology. We found in each other a genuine love for animals, science, teaching, and cooking shows- while supporting each other during the trials that come with research. In 2012, we became engaged at the airport after spending the holidays apart from each other- and got married in 2013. June ended up working in animal rescue for many years, bringing her work home with her and many animals becoming permanent family members. She currently works in social services and dabbles in animal rescue on the side. Blake spent a number of years working in Mental Health before “retiring” and now works as an Information Specialist and is chair on the board of a non-profit. We have since made ourselves a lovely home in Guelph, Ontario- complete with a double lot fenced in backyard with a pollinator garden and a variety of fruit trees/bushes that June has planted over the years. We welcomed our wonderful son into the world in 2021 through IVF. Unfortunately, both June and our son experienced medical complications during the pregnancy, during the delivery and post-delivery. While June would love to carry another child, after discussing it with Blake we mutually agreed the risk was too high not just for herself but also for the child given what our son went through. In the years since we’ve marvelled at how our son has grown. He brings a joy we couldn’t have really imagined until having him. Every new experience, every outing, each adventure just waiting on the horizon are so much more meaningful with him by our side. Watching how our son asks and looks for his “friends” when we go to the playground, and when he excitedly points when he sees a baby- we feel like he would be a great older brother. We’d love to expand our family and bring that love to another while having another companion for our many adventures. We’d love to discuss your needs, wants, or preferences to understand how we can support you through this journey and make it as fulfilling as possible. In turn we hope that you’d maintain open and honest communication so everyone can be most comfortable. As parents ourselves we understand the tremendous gift you are offering to us as well as the depth of what it can entail, however, we recognize you still are your own person with your own life. We want to ensure throughout this journey that you feel supported and empowered as an individual with their own needs. We’re so excited to be starting this journey and cannot wait to meet you.
Natalie, Sean & Isla
Alberta, Canada
We are Natalie, Sean, and Isla! Thank you so much for considering our family to be part of your surrogacy journey. Your willingness to help families like ours grow is truly amazing and selfless, and we are deeply grateful for your consideration.
Our family would love to begin this journey with you as Natalie is unable to carry another pregnancy. After a seven-year journey to complete our family, you would not only be helping Sean and me but also giving our daughter, Isla, the gift of a sibling. Isla is our miracle baby—she overcame significant challenges after being born and spent time in the NICU with a feeding tube for 10 months. Today, she’s a happy, thriving toddler, and she would be the most loving and fun big sister!
Natalie has been pregnant before and fully understands the physical, emotional, and mental toll that pregnancy can take. That’s why we want you to know that we will support you every step of the way during this journey. We’re not new to surrogacy—we were on a surrogacy path in 2020/2021, which unfortunately didn’t result in a baby, but did lead to a lasting friendship with our previous surrogate. We still keep in touch with her and have formed close bonds with her family.
A little about us: Sean works in wealth management and is a bit of a smarty-pants, and Natalie is a Registered Nurse with 14 years of experience in mental health. Our daughter, Isla, is two years old and fills our lives with endless joy and silliness, and our dog, Mocha, is 13 but still loves walking 4 km a day! As a family, we are huge foodies—always seeking out new local bakeries and restaurants—and we love spending time with our extended family. We’re fortunate to live just three minutes away from Natalie’s parents and get to see Sean’s parents every weekend.
We know we’ve been blessed with Isla, and we feel so incredibly lucky to have her. However, we also feel our family is still incomplete, and there’s a missing piece of our hearts that we hope to fill. Parenthood has been the most fulfilling, wonderful, and joyous experience of our lives, and we’re eager to expand our family further. Whatever it takes to grow our family will be more than worth it.
We hope to build a close, lasting relationship with our surrogate and would love to stay in contact after our journey is complete, if that’s something you would also like. We’ll do everything we can to support both you and your family throughout this journey.
Jessica & Paul
Hamilton, Ontario
Your selflessness, compassion, and generosity have filled us with hope and excitement for a future we once thought might never be possible. For seven years, we’ve faced the emotional rollercoaster of infertility, the challenges of IVF, and the heartbreaking losses of miscarriages. Through it all, our dream of becoming parents has never wavered. We know, deep in our hearts, that we are meant to share our love, our values, and our laughter with a child who will bring joy and purpose to our lives.
This is where you come in. Your willingness to carry our child and bring our dream to life is something we cannot fully comprehend – it is a gift beyond words. We are humbled by your trust and so grateful for your compassion in making this incredible decision.
Our vision is for this journey to be collaborative and joyful – full of laughter, love, and shared moments. We hope to stay connected through regular updates, in-person meetings, and calls so that you always feel included and cherished every step of the way.
We are eager to learn more about you – your passions, your values, and the things that bring you joy. We hope to create a meaningful and lasting connection that will be a beautiful blend of our lives.
Thank you for considering this life-changing journey with us. We can’t wait to meet you, share our story, and begin this incredible adventure together.
With heartfelt appreciation and hope,
Jamal, Romain & Noam
Montreal, Quebec
As a European couple who now are proudly Canadian, we decided to call Canada our home as we felt this was the best & most authentic place to choose to raise our children. We completed a journey here in Canada to welcome our beloved Noam who is now 2 years old. We dreamed of having 2 children very close in age, but fate has not been in our favour on this journey to making him a big brother. We have trusted the process and know that it will all happen in perfect timing!
Our journey with Noam was so special and wonderful, his Surrogate is a beloved Auntie in our family and we look forward to creating a bond with a new Surrogate who will help us complete our family. We loved attending appointments for Noam and being there for every important stage of his journey to come home.
We look forward to writing this new chapter & getting to know you along the way!
