We're Patrick and Melissa, a hopeful couple on a heartfelt journey to grow our family through surrogacy.
After facing our own fertility challenges, including the loss of our daughter Kamila and Melissa’s hysterectomy, we've come to appreciate the strength and courage it takes to create life in such a unique way. We are ready and excited to begin the next chapter of our life and can't wait to meet the surrogate who will help us grow our family.

We are looking for a surrogate who shares our values of love, family and a full life.
We are prepared to reimburse our surrogate up to $40,000.
We are in the process of preparing for another egg retrieval and will have more embryos shortly.
We hope to find a surrogate in Ontario who has not used her IVF funding yet.
We would like open communication throughout the process with updates about appointments and photos.
We would love to stay connected and share important milestones with our surrogate after the birth.
We feel prepared for surrogacy and can navigate an independent journey and hope to support you along the way.
