Hopeful Parents

Hello! Thanks so much for taking the time to get to know us.

We’re Josh and Lauren, a fun-loving, passionate couple who love spending time together, going on adventures, exploring new places, and making memories. We come from close, supportive families, and our biggest dreams is to grow our family and share all the love and happiness we’ve experienced with our future children. We also have a dog named Coal, who is a special part of our family and is always ready for adventures, cuddles, and being part of our everyday lives. We hope to create a home filled with love, laughter, curiosity, and support, where our future children feel safe, encouraged, and deeply loved.

As a couple, we value open communication, teamwork, and being there for one another through life’s ups and downs. Lauren is a high school teacher, and Josh is a civil engineer. During the summer, we also work together on our ice cream truck and own an ice cream shop, which is something we absolutely love doing! We enjoy working as a team and sharing those experiences together.

We believe trust, honesty, and kindness are at the heart of any meaningful relationship, and we hope to bring those same values into our journey with our surrogate. It’s important to us that she feels comfortable, respected, appreciated, and supported every step of the way.

Surrogacy is an incredibly generous and meaningful gift, and we have so much respect and gratitude for anyone willing to be part of this journey. We hope to build a genuine connection with our surrogate based on mutual trust, openness, and care. We would love to stay connected after the birth in whatever way feels comfortable for everyone.

Most of all, we want our surrogate to know how grateful we would be for the opportunity to grow our family with her help. This is a dream we hold very close to our hearts, and the kindness and generosity involved in helping us become parents is something we would never take for granted.

With love and gratitude,
Josh & Lauren

Dear Surrogate,

We are Alexandre and Julien, a couple in our early thirties living in Toronto, and we are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share our story with you.

Our journey together began in Paris, France, when we were 19 years old. Looking back, we like to think our story may have started even earlier. Julien grew up in Paris, but his grandparents lived in the small suburb where Alexandre was raised. We often joke that our first meeting might have happened years before we actually knew each other: during story time at the local library, where Julien went with his grandparents and Alexandre with his parents. Whether or not that really happened, we love the idea that our paths may have crossed long before we met.

From the very beginning of our relationship, becoming parents was part of our conversations. We both knew that building a family was an important life goal, and neither of us could imagine sharing our life with someone who did not dream of parenthood as well. Today, after more than 11 years together, we feel ready and excited to take this next step and begin the extraordinary adventure of becoming dads.

We are fortunate to be surrounded by loving and supportive family and friends who are excited to welcome a child into our lives. Their encouragement has given us even more confidence as we embark on this journey.

In 2024, we made the decision to move from France to Toronto. One of the reasons behind this choice was our desire to be fully present and involved throughout the surrogacy process. We wanted to be closer, available, and engaged, rather than experiencing such an important journey from afar. Being in Toronto allows us to approach this adventure with the commitment and dedication it deserves.

A little bit about us:

Alexandre is a pharmacist and works in pharmacovigilance for a pharmaceutical company. In simple terms, he helps monitor the safety of medicines and vaccines, ensuring that patients receive the safest possible care. He enjoys running, spending time outdoors, discovering live music, and making memories with friends and family.

Julien studied public policy and urban planning and now works for a provincial agency. He loves cycling around the city, reading, and preparing meals to share with friends and loved ones. His cooking has become one of the ways we gather people together and create meaningful moments.

As a couple, we love exploring our city on foot, traveling whenever we can, and discovering new restaurants and cuisines from around the world. We enjoy simple moments just as much as big adventures, whether that’s a walk through a neighbourhood, a family dinner, or a trip to a new destination.

We have built a stable, loving, and secure life together, and we are excited to open our hearts and our home to a child. For us, becoming parents is not simply another milestone, it represents the fulfillment of a dream we have shared since the beginning of our relationship.

The values we hope to pass on to our future child are the same values that guide our lives every day: love, respect, kindness, tolerance, curiosity, and openness to others. We also hope to build a relationship with our surrogate that reflects these values. We deeply admire the compassion, generosity, and strength involved in surrogacy, and we approach this process with immense gratitude.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and consider being part of this life-changing journey. We know that no words can fully express how meaningful your role would be in helping us become a family, but please know that our appreciation would be endless.

With gratitude,

Alexandre & Julien ❤️

Bonjour dear surrogate and welcome in our little world,

What more can we say, except that your help is more than needed for this adventure.

Thank you for being you and see you soon 😉

Hi! We’re Hayden and Andy, and we’re so happy you’ve decided to learn a little more about us.

Our story together began over twelve years ago while we were both living at university. We’d crossed paths a few times before some determined mutual friends finally introduced us one night at the local pub. Looking back, it’s hard to believe how much life we’ve shared together, from our first date where the car battery died and left us stranded, to getting married on Hayden’s childhood farm.

We now live in the beautiful rainforest of the Dandenong Ranges with our two very loved dachshunds. We love spending weekends working in the garden, exploring nature, travelling, and catching up with family and friends. Whether we’re planning our next adventure or enjoying a quiet afternoon at home with a good book, we’re happiest spending time together.

Family has always been a huge part of our lives. Between us, we have both sets of parents, three sisters and nine wonderful nieces and nephews, so there’s never a shortage of birthdays, family dinners or little people to spoil. Spending time with them has only made us more excited to become dads ourselves, and we can’t wait to create those same memories and traditions with a child of our own.

If you’re reading this, thank you. We know that becoming parents wouldn’t be possible without the kindness and generosity of an incredible woman, and we don’t take that for granted for a second. More than anything, we hope to build a relationship based on trust, honesty and open communication, and we’d love the chance to get to know you—not just as our surrogate, but as a friend.

We hope this is just the beginning of getting to know each other.
