Lorenzo & Francesco
Italy
Once upon a time, 20 years ago, in a fairy tale city called Florence, there was a young student of 20 years old named Francesco, who was on his way to a student party.
During that great night with lots of people, friends and music Francesco met Lorenzo, another young student of 20 years old, who was also there to party with his friends.
Both of them were born and raised in a small town in the southern part of Tuscany, without ever meeting each other before…long story short it was love at the first sight!
Today Lorenzo & Francesco, as husband and husband, have been sharing half of their life together. They shared all the most important moments of their lives and fought their battles. They built their home, a place full of joy, friends, colours and good food (they especially love to cook together).
Their weapons were not swords and shields, but their courage and love.
After 20 years together, they will be happy to crown their happy ending, as in any self-respecting fairy tale and become daddy&daddy! They need your help to realize this dream.
Patrick, Thomas & Sophia
Montreal, Canada
Thomas and Patrick met in 2001 while both in medical training and knew early on that they wanted children. They first tried the adoption route and were on a waiting list for 10 years, with many travels, hijinks, and adventures along the way. They blinked and realized they weren’t getting younger and changed direction towards surrogacy. Sophia was born in 2018 after the first embryo transfer and she has been showered with love and attention over the past 5 years.
As Sophia’s attention has shifted from things (crib blankets, stuffed animals, Paw Patrol) to people (daycare friends, playdates), and as she’s played with aunts, uncles, and cousins, she’s often asked about whether she’ll have a sister or brother. Both Thomas and Patrick come from families with many siblings and would love for Sophia to know that joy.
All the three of them are ready for the next chapter of their family’s story, and that’s what this is about!

Niccolo & Lorenzo
Italy
Hello From Italy! We live in Rome and are so lucky to have so many beautiful parks to choose here to walk our dog, Grishka at. We are both teachers and we love our job. As teachers, we love children. We spend every day of our life with them. Now, after spending 15 years in love together as a couple, and sharing many experiences together, we have decided to build our family and have children of our own! We hope to find a Surrogate to carry our baby and build a strong friendship and relationship with her. Maybe we will even get to share our favorite family home made pizza recipe with her?! When we think of our future with our baby, you will always be part of our baby's story and life. We want to stay in touch and have a life long friendship.
Raul & Debbie
Toronto, Canada
This Toronto based couple who loves a good choreographed dance (you'll have to ask them about their dance classes through covid!)
Check out this great photo album to get to know them more.
Raul & Debbie have been on their family building journey for 2+ years now. Surrogacy is their next step, and they are so eager and excited to see what this next chapter brings for their little family!
"We realize that being a Surrogate in Canada has to be one of the most generous altruistic acts of kindness a stranger can do for anyone. As a potential Surrogate you must have such a big heart to want to help fulfill our dreams of starting a family!
We hope to meet you and spend many special moments together on this journey together"
Single Mama in Ontario

I’m a hopeful intended mum who loves children and has always wanted to have my own. I remember babysitting our neighbour’s newborn. I fell so hard in love with that baby. I knew back then that I wanted to have at least one of my own one day!
But life had other plans for me. I lost the ability to carry pregnancy a few years ago before having my own children. This inability did not come naturally nor due to an accident. It was imposed on me. To say that I was devastated is an understatement.
It’s then that I learned about surrogacy and started researching it. The thought of meeting someone like you who would walk with me on this journey to become a parent gave me hope and strength to keep moving forward. I’m here today because I held onto the hope that one day you would reach out to say that you can help.
Making this dream I’ve had since I was a little girl a reality would mean the world to me.
I wish to see our relationship built on trust, respect, and open communication go beyond this journey. I’m ready, I’m committed and I’m eager to get to know you.
For now, I will browse paint chips & dream of creating a nursery for my child one day!
Jamal, Romain & Noam
Montreal, Canada
Jamal & Romain's paths crossed for the first time 17 years ago in an ice rink in Paris. We were both working in the field of Figure Skating, Jamal is a Swiss national Champion who participated at many World championships and at the olympics while Romain is a French coach and choreographer on world and Olympic level. We must have exchanged a first few words then at the 2006 World championship in Calgary! Maybe we were meant to build a life and a family together in Canada...
Our relationship started years later in 2013; Jamal had become National Ice Skating Coach of Malaysia and lived in Kuala Lumpur - Romain still in his hometown in Lyon. We got to know and love each other despite the long distance through many trips between Europe, Asia and North America. After 2 years, however, we both felt the strong desire to move together. Romain moved to Montreal, where he was to create the Ice Academy of Montreal - Jamal followed him 6 months later. Together we have lived in Montreal for 8 years now and married since 2017. We are permanent residents and soon to be Canadians!
We are in an extremely happy place in our lives and are the proudest fathers on the planet! With the immeasurable help of a lovely woman, a surrogate who dedicated a year of her life to caring for our unborn baby, Noam, our first child was born in November 2022.
Carla & Russel
Toronto, Canada
"All You Need Is Love"... This is one of our favourite songs and its message has been the foundation of our relationship. Our lives have been filled with love for each other, from our supportive families, and from our amazing friends. We want to start a family so that we can share this love with a child of our own.
We’ve always known that we wanted children, but we knew that surrogacy was our only option. We are grateful that you have felt this calling to help others make parenthood a reality. We know that this is a selfless act that requires patience, understanding, compromise and most importantly, love. We are thankful for this chance of fulfilling our dream of becoming parents. We can’t wait to meet you!
Love Is All You Need!
Mat & Guy
Australia
All stories must have a beginning, and for us it all started thousands of miles away. Mathew growing up in the green grass of Wales and Guy in the Sun of Israel. Mathew was very comfortable with his life in Wales, working in an awesome Hair Salon. Always dreaming of what life was like outside of Wales.
A good story needs an adventure thought right? For Mathew that call for a warmer climate got too much, and one lunch break he went and got that one-way ticket to Aus. Now fortunately enough, Guy was on his own adventure too. Compulsory military duty led to a wonderful military career, a navigation officer of a submarine! However, Guy knew that he had his own truth to follow. On a trip to Australia, Guy fell in love with the country and knew he had to make it his mission to live there, sooner or later.
These two guys on this adventure though had a love story that was yet to unfold. One fateful day at their favorite bar, after a few Long Island Iced teas, they met. Guy confidently giving Mathew the look. Mathew giggling back. Then days later our first date. Talking of all the dreams we had, which included building a family. We just knew that we wanted to make this dream a reality.
Now this is where the story is going to get really good. Like waiting for the next episode to be released of your favorite show. However, we knew that we need a true hero to help us make our deepest wish come true.
Mehdi, Andrew & Ismaël
Madrid, Spain
Becoming Dads to Ismaël has changed our lives, thanks to surrogacy. When ‘Lou’ (as we
call him) giggles at how silly we are, we laugh too. When we meet friends for tapas in our
neighbourhood in Madrid, Lou is a bit of a local celebrity! When we put him to bed and he
rubs his eyes, we feel full in our hearts.
As gay Dads, we don’t take for granted how lucky we are, and how exceptional surrogates
are, helping a family like our’s. As Ismaël approaches his first birthday in December, we’re
excited about the coming year. We’re looking forward to living close to the sea and growing
our family. It’s the Mediterranean that inspires Mehdi, who’s from Morocco, loves nothing
more than good company, the sound of crashing waves, and as a foodie, a home cooked
meal! Andrew is British, but feels Spanish at heart. With our backgrounds in education
and coaching, family life is central to who we are and how we identify ourselves.
As intended parents, we can’t wait to meet with you, to get to know you and your family - if
that feels comfortable for you - and to embark on this phenomenal new adventure together.
With your extraordinary help, we and Ismaël can’t wait to have a baby we can play with, sing
with, nap with, swim with (when they’re old enough), and together with their aunties and
Grandma, raise with hugs, laughter and love.
