Meet someone, fall in love, get married and have babies. It’s the natural order of life.”
After researching Surrogacy for the first time in 2005, she realized that life also offers many shades of grey. Surrogacy and adoption is not everyone’s first choice for starting a family, but not everyone has that luxury.
A chance meeting with a friend set her life on a new course, a path toward the beautiful world of Surrogacy. When asked why she did what she did, the answer is immediate and direct:

ANU isn’t the largest fertility consultancy in Canada. In fact, we limit the number of Surrogates, Egg Donors, & Parents-To-Be that we work with at any given time.
By doing this, we are able to focus much more intently on successfully connecting each set of Parents-To-Be with the perfect surrogate.
In fact, over 95% of our Parents-To-Be end up matching with a surrogate and having a baby.
