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!

Andrea & Neville
Ontario
Hi, we’re Andrea and Neville! We’ve been happily married for six years and have always known that starting a family was something we deeply wanted. However, our journey to parenthood has been a bit different than we originally imagined. Before our wedding, Andrea experienced a medical complication that put her health first, preventing us from trying to conceive at that time. Over the years, Andrea has faced additional health challenges, and although we’ve had some victories, the risks of conceiving naturally became clear. After much thought, we made the decision that pursuing surrogacy was the safest and most responsible path forward.
Though our lives are busy, we truly value balance. We enjoy keeping active but also love spending quality time at home. Andrea and Neville both enjoy maintaining a clean and organized living space, and a lot of our free time is spent making sure our home feels comfortable and welcoming. When we’re not at home, we enjoy peaceful drives down country roads, relaxing walks by the waterfront, and spending time surrounded by nature. We’re also huge fans of traveling to warmer destinations and can never resist a good beach day by the ocean. Our extended families and close friends are very important to us, and we cherish the time spent with those we consider family.
​
We feel incredibly fortunate to be on this surrogacy journey and are filled with gratitude for the selfless decision of our Surrogate to help bring our dreams of parenthood to life. Our hope is to create an open and honest relationship with our Surrogate, one built on mutual respect, communication, and understanding. We know that every relationship is unique, and we’re committed to maintaining a healthy, supportive connection. We are always available to check in, share updates, attend appointments—whether in person or via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or WhatsApp, depending on what feels best for everyone involved.
The idea of "growing up, getting married, and having a family" is one we’ve always cherished. For us, it’s not just about becoming parents—it’s about creating a loving, supportive environment where our child can grow, thrive, and learn what it means to be a well-respected member of society. We look forward to celebrating every milestone with our child and experiencing the joys of parenthood just as our parents did before us. With each passing day, we are one step closer to the dream of being the kind of parents who love, nurture, and support their child unconditionally.
We are so excited for the next chapter of our journey and are grateful to be on this path together.

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!

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.

Hello curious person reading our profile—
Welcome! We are, in order from left to right, Nicole, Bryce, and Sharon and we live in the GTA. Nicole and Sharon are education and health care professionals respectively and Bryce is a recent graduate of Kindergarten with sights on grade 1 adventures. We are a goofy, sporty/active, and multicultural family who loves camping, being outdoors, biking, cooking together, and road trips.
We find ourselves on this surrogacy journey after experiencing tremendous loss. In 2022, our second child, Blake Darius was stillborn. We were heartbroken and so very devastated. Six weeks later, while we were grieving Blake’s loss, Sharon experienced a cardiac episode linked to pregnancy, that further devastated and gutted us. Sharon’s heart has fully recovered but she was strongly advised to not become pregnant again. 2022 was filled with so much pain and sadness yet we survived and are still that goofy,
sporty/active and road trip loving family. We honour Blake every year on his birthday by chasing and observing the sunset wherever we are. The sunset we observed this year was magical. If you want to learn more about us, we will tell you why. So here we are. Ready to grow our family in another way. Bryce is excited to become a big brother (again) and we have been open with him about how this may become a possibility. He has asked us if we have found someone to carry our baby. He knows that we have been taking steps to make this a reality. The quest to answer his blunt and
honest question begins here in this very brief description about who we are and what has brought us here. But who we are is only part of the story and answer. Who you are and what fills your bucket are also important parts. Here’s to hoping that what you’ve read makes you feel like sharing a little bit of who you are with us and leads us to answer ‘yes’ to Bryce’s question.
With love,
Sharon, Nicole & Bryce
Ash & Adam
Calgary, Alberta
Hi we are Adam and Ash, a fun and quirky couple from Calgary, and we’re excited to be starting on this journey to grow our family through surrogacy. Our love story began eight years ago at a board game night in Toronto, where we met by serendipity and instantly connected. Since then, we have built a strong and meaningful relationship with many shared adventures. We love a cozy movie night indoors, but are equally happy hiking in the Rockies, or even exploring the world together.
Adam is originally from Stratford, Ontario and a car enthusiast who started his career in the auto industry and is now switching gears (pun intended!) to become a software engineer in Calgary. Adam is easygoing , a great cook, and keeps in touch with his Ontario friends and family, 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. Now, Ash works as a pediatric genetics doctor at Alberta Children’s Hospital and runs a research lab at the University of Calgary. Ash loves singing, theatre, and karaoke!
Together, we’ve created a warm and welcoming home. We’ve worked with an egg donor to create several embryos, and we’re now looking for a surrogate. We want to find someone where there is a strong sense of mutual trust and respect due to open and honest communication. We would love to be able to support a surrogate as much as we can and hopefully have someone that will remain in touch long-term.
We want 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 child who will be truly cherished. We know that surrogacy is an extraordinary gift, and we are deeply grateful for the possibility of you considering helping us with this journey.

A Little Love from Down Under
​
Meet Daniel and Alfie—two Aussie soulmates with big hearts, a cheeky dog named Sammi, and one shared dream: becoming dads. After exploring every path to parenthood, they knew surrogacy was the one that felt just right. With a little help from family (including Daniel’s amazing sister Katelyn as their egg donor), their dream took root in Vancouver, where their embryos are now waiting for the final piece of the puzzle—a kind and courageous surrogate to help bring their future child into the world.
Together for over a decade, D & A are the perfect blend of cozy nights, belly laughs, and Sunday footy games. Daniel’s all about horror movies, seafood feasts, and yoga flows. Alfie lives for pasta, AFL, and long dog walks with Sammi. But more than anything, they live for the moment they get to become dads—to nurture, guide, and shower their child with unconditional love (and probably a lot of ravioli).
This isn’t just a surrogacy journey—it’s a chance to help two loving humans become the family they've always dreamed of.
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.
