Hopeful Parents

Hi, we’re Phillip and Jonny. We live in Brisbane, Australia and are so glad you’ve found your way here. Our life together has been filled with big milestones and quiet, meaningful moments. We’ve moved cities, changed careers, and got married. Now we’re ready for the next chapter. We want to become parents. Jonny is a primary school teacher. He’s creative and always thinking about ways to make kids feel seen and supported. Phil is an engineer. He’s thoughtful, steady, and always thinking ahead. We’ve built a life together that’s full of laughter, care, and routine. It’s a home we’re proud of, and it’s ready for a child. Over the past year, we’ve spent time learning about surrogacy and what this journey involves. We’ve been to seminars, spoken with others, and asked ourselves the big questions. We know this process is built on trust. We will do our best to make sure our surrogate feels safe, respected, and appreciated every step of the way. We’re not just looking for someone to carry a pregnancy. We’re hoping to connect with a person who feels comfortable with us. Someone who feels like this is the right match, and whom we can communicate openly throughout the journey. We hope to raise a child who is kind, curious, and deeply loved for who they are. That’s the life we’ve been preparing for, and we’re excited to begin it. Thanks for taking the time to read our story. If anything here speaks to you, we’d really love to connect.

Hello, and thank you for taking a moment to read this. We’re Philipp & Manuel, a French German couple shaped by rural roots where neighbours knock, tables stretch, and the best nights end with stories and laughter. Manu grew up on a farm, so early mornings, muddy boots, and helping out are part of our family stories. Philipp was raised with big Sunday lunches, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins around one table. Our families, and the big circle of friends around us, have shaped us and still do. Before we married last year, we spent five years in a shared flat with those same friends, who later stood as witnesses at our wedding. We’re naturally outgoing and love building bridges between cultures, generations, and different ways of seeing the world. We believe families grow through love, friendship, and embracing differences. Day to day, we’re hosts at heart. We cook from scratch, trade family recipes, put on good music, and enjoy long, funny conversations. We love weekend markets and countryside walks as well as the bustle of big cities and the romance of night trains when we travel. Friends describe us as warm, steady, and easy to be around, people who bring others together and make space for everyone’s story. If we’re lucky enough to be on a team with you, we imagine something simple and comfortable: honest chats, a bit of humor, and small rituals that make the journey feel human—a photo, a voice note, a song, a shared recipe, perhaps a visit on a special day. Your voice would guide us. You wouldn’t be helping from the sidelines; you’d be a co-creator of this small team, with the freedom to say what works for you and what doesn’t. We care about gentle honesty, clear boundaries, and kindness in the everyday. We’re proud of where we come from and the communities that raised us. Being a French German couple means our life naturally mixes languages and traditions; there’s always an extra chair at the table, room for new stories, and respect for different paths. We like plans that are simple and human, days with room to breathe, and teamwork that treats everyone with dignity. We speak English with our French and German accents – charm included – and we’re grateful to have five euploid embryos (PGT-tested) ready, thanks to this wonderful team, our amazing non-anonymous egg donor, and our clinic in Toronto. We celebrate the big moments and the quiet steps in between, and we’re thankful for the heart it takes to even read profiles like this. We aim for a warm, welcoming, respectful energy. If that feels like a match to you, we’d love to meet and listen. ❤️❤️❤️

Hello again! Brandon is 35 and currently a US tax lawyer (though he was an Australian Immigration lawyer for 7 years before moving to Canada and misses it). Ayden is 32, and worked as an environmental engineer back in Australia. However, he has decided to pursue a bit of a career change and is going back to school to study data analytics. We decided to move to Canada to be closer to Brandon’s family in the United States and are settling in nicely (and are surviving the tail end an Albertan winter!). However, there is still one major thing missing in our lives before we can truly feel like we are a family, and that is a little bundle of joy. We dream of being able to raise our own kids, share with them the wonders of the world (travel, food, music, culture), and be able to feel like a complete family. We are so excited that we are finally at this stage and are so thankful to everyone who has been (and will be) a part of this journey.

For all the ‘Friends TV Show’ fans out there, the best analogy I can draw is that we feel we are very similar to the characters ‘Monica and Chandler’. We grew up watching friends and still watch the re-runs without getting tired of it. For everyone who haven’t seen the series, my wife: loves to cook, she always wants to be the host which why we end up hosting lots of gatherings with friends and family, she is a perfectionist. Myself: I have been told my energy is contagious, I end up using humor as my defense mechanism which comes out even in the most awkward times, this helps me to keep things light around me. We are kinda goofy..!

Professionally, I’m a Director, in the IT world. I’ve also got my Master’s degree, so I’m fluent in both tech jargon and the secret language of “where are the good snacks?” My super close-knit family growing up totally shaped who I am today, and it’s something I absolutely treasure. I can’t wait to convince my future kid that broccoli is, in fact, a delicious mini tree!

I’m Neha 41 years young. My career journey has landed me a cool VP position at a marketing firm, and yep, I’ve got my Master’s degree too! I like to think of myself as a caring perfectionist – someone who genuinely loves making every single moment special, especially for my loved ones.

Our Journey:

It’s with full hearts that we share a glimpse into our most profound journey, one that has spanned a decade, crossed three countries, and tested the very limits of our resilience. We’ve navigated the challenging paths of IUIs, IVFs, and countless other fertility treatments, standing shoulder to shoulder through every emotionally, financially, and physically draining step. Words truly can’t capture the depth of what we’ve endured. Neha, my incredible partner, has faced her own immense battles, battling cysts and fibroids in both ovaries, which have made pregnancy impossible. There have been medical treatments lasting over a year just to help her live a normal day, and countless nights have been filled with depression, tears, and disappointment, becoming a part of our daily lives.

Yet, through every single hardship, our spirits have not only remained unbroken but have soared with an unwavering resolve! These circumstances, no matter how daunting, have only strengthened our faith and ignited an even fiercer desire to bring our precious baby into this world! We are ready to dedicate every fiber of our being and everything we have to our future child. As the saying goes, “It takes a village to raise a child, AND sometimes it takes a village to have a child!” This isn’t just a saying to us; it’s our rallying cry! We are absolutely thrilled at the prospect of welcoming you into our lives and humbly invite you to be the most crucial, radiant part of our dream! To help us carry and bring our child into our lives would be a miracle beyond measure!

With god’s grace, today we have 13+ PGT tested healthy embryos (euploids). We are extremely ecstatic and excited that we are now one step closer to getting our dream realized. This development has been the anchor for our hope and smiles.

We understand that the path ahead is still long, and that becoming a surrogate is an incredibly selfless and monumental decision. That’s why we promise to be there, every single step of the way, at your convenience, ensuring this journey is as warm and comfortable. Our involvement will always align with your comfort, neither more nor less. We are searching for a truly wonderful person with a kind heart and similar views, and we are so eager to welcome her into our lives as our most crucial aspect in making our dream come true. Please, be our godsent ANGEL!
