The well-being of both the surrogate and our future child will always be our top priority. We chose Canada because we deeply respect its ethical approach to surrogacy. It’s important to us that we can one day explain to our child how they came into the world—and introduce them to the wonderful people who made it possible.

From the moment our child is old enough to understand, we’ll talk openly about their origins. If they ever wish to reach out to you, we’d love to make that possible.

We imagine the relationship with both the donor and the surrogate as something warm and lasting—like family living abroad. We’d love to stay in touch, share updates, send photos, and keep that connection alive over time.

For us, the ideal surrogate is someone who values family and leads a healthy lifestyle. Beyond that, we don’t have any specific preferences—we truly believe that meaningful connections can grow with all kinds of people. What matters most is mutual trust, kindness, and the shared joy of bringing a child into the world.

As Vincent is a doctor, it is no surprise that we place great importance on health and prevention. We believe that vaccination against common diseases is essential, and we hope our surrogate shares this perspective. Ensuring a safe and healthy pregnancy—for both the surrogate and the baby—is something we care deeply about.

We know this is one of the most difficult aspects of the surrogacy journey, but we believe it’s essential to approach it with openness and honesty from the very beginning.

Our position is guided by medical advice and compassion: if doctors identify a serious risk to the health of the baby or the surrogate, we would choose to terminate the pregnancy. Likewise, if the baby were diagnosed with a severe condition that would significantly affect their ability to live a normal life, we would make the same decision.

These are not choices we take lightly. They come from a place of deep care—for the surrogate, for the child, and for the life we hope to build together.
