❤️ Our Story

📍 London, Ontario

👩‍❤️‍👨 Ages: 37 & 43

🏥 Clinic: CreAte Fertility, Toronto and London Ontario

🧬 14 perfect embryos waiting for their chance at life

Hi there! We’re Candice and Adriano, a fun-loving couple from London, Ontario, hoping to connect with an incredible, kind-hearted gestational carrier to help us bring our little miracle into the world. ❤️

Our story began in 2016 when we got married, but really, it started a bit earlier — at a karaoke bar. I (Adriano) heard Candice sing once, and that was it — I was done for. I bought her a drink (she hated it, by the way 😅), and we’ve been inseparable ever since. We bought our home in 2017, adopted our fur baby Meeka, and have built a life rooted in love, laughter, and creativity.

✨ About Us

Candice is an entrepreneur and hairstylist, running her own business with passion and care. She’s also a performer and singer with The Voices of Broadway choir, and one of the most creative people you’ll ever meet. Whether it’s crafting the perfect design with her Cricut or making custom shirts for family and friends, Candice puts her heart into everything she does. She’s nurturing, full of light, and has a smile that melts your heart — but don’t let that fool you, because she’ll absolutely destroy you in any video game or board game you challenge her to. 😉

Adriano is a high school teacher, heading the music, drama, and musical theatre programs. Before teaching, he toured as a musician and actor, and still records and produces music in his home studio. He’s easygoing, creative, and a total goofball at heart. In his spare time, you’ll find him writing (he just finished a book he hopes to publish soon!), playing video games, or cheering for the Leafs and Jays.

We’re both active — playing softball together every summer (Candice also plays volleyball!) — and we share a deep love for hockey and baseball. The only debate in our house? Football. Candice loves it… Adriano? Not so much. 😅

At the end of the day, we’re best friends, partners, and a team. We laugh a lot, support each other endlessly, and can’t wait to pour that same love into being parents.

💕 Our Journey

We’ve been on our fertility journey since 2020 with CreAte Fertility in London Ontario and our embryos and transfers are done in Toronto Ontario. After years of trying and several transfers, one miscarriage, we learned that due to endometriosis and PCOS, pregnancy isn’t safe for Candice.

We were blessed beyond words when a close friend offered to carry for us. She became more than a gestational carrier — she became family. Together, we went to baseball games, movies, theatre shows, and even played in softball tournaments. She welcomed us into her church community, where we’ve found a deeper sense of faith and gratitude.

Recently, she made the difficult decision to step back for personal reasons — and we respect her fully and completely. Her gift, her love, and her belief in us have meant the world. She will always be family, and we know she’d want nothing more than for this dream to come true for us.

If you ever wanted to speak with her, we’re sure she’d be open to sharing her experience — she’s truly an angel on earth and a blessing in our lives.

🌸 What We’re Hoping For

We don’t have any special requirements — just the hope of finding a wonderful, down-to-earth woman who connects with us on a genuine level. We’d love to build a friendship along the way, to laugh together, share the journey, and be there to support you however you’re comfortable.

If our story speaks to you (or someone you know), we’d love to chat and answer any questions you might have. Please feel free to DM us anytime — we’d be honoured to connect.

From the bottom of our hearts,
Candice & Adriano 💖

Relationship status

Married

Candice and Adriano met in 2012 through a mutual friend at a karaoke bar. Adriano was intrigued by this beautiful person who was so friendly and bubbly and kind. He made his move and bought her a drink that she absolutely detested, but they connected and soon he heard her sing. She sang, I will always love you by Whitney Houston. Then He sang, and they have been inseparable since. They married in 2016 bought a house in 2017, and found their fur-baby Meeka a Yorkie with a personalty that only a Yorkie would have. They are trying to complete their family with a bundle of joy. They are hopeful that they will find a match and you can help them make their dream come true!

Fun facts about me

Well as I said above I am a former touring musician, and I have toured with my band Requiem for years (now retired). Our last concert was performing as an opener for Kim Mitchell in front of 25000 people.

I have a recording studio where I record and help fellow musicians

I love playing softball, I am a pitcher and my wife and I both run a team and are involved with teams in a few leagues.

I enjoy helping people when I can.

Interests and hobbies

I come from a professional background of music and musical theatre. I was a former actor/touring musician. On my spare time, I tutored and coached young singers and actors through their journeys. I loved it so much that I decided to settle down get my degree in teaching and become a teacher. So now I am a department head for music and musical theatre at a high school.

Since then I have continued with producing and recording music in my studio

I have also gone back to playing baseball (Well softball now that I am older) and have gotten involved with various sports ground keeping score.

I have also experimented with my creative writing and have just written a book I hope to get edited and published.

Otherwise, I am a pretty down to earth person who loves humour, being a fun goofy fur-dad/teacher, and trying to help others be successful in life.
