We’re Christina and Anthony from Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. We met in 2011 at a friend’s soccer game when we were just 18, and from that very first summer of laughing, going on adventures, and spending every second together, we knew it was something special. More than a decade later, we’re still laughing every day, exploring new places, and creating memories side by side.

Family & Friends
Family and friends are at the center of our lives. We both come from big Italian families who cherish Sunday dinners, loud holiday gatherings, and sharing good food. Our circle also includes a wonderful group of friends (we even play on a volleyball team together!) who are just as excited as we are to welcome a new little one into our traditions. We feel lucky to be surrounded by so much love and support.

Our Fertility Journey
When Christina was 16, she was diagnosed with MRKH and learned that carrying a pregnancy wouldn’t be possible. She can still remember sitting with her mom in the doctor’s office that day and how overwhelming that moment was. Early in our relationship, Christina shared her diagnosis with Anthony, and he has been an unwavering support ever since. On the hard days, when the weight of not being able to carry feels heavy, Anthony is there as a shoulder to lean on and a reminder that we’re in this together. Through IVF, we now have embryos ready and waiting, and surrogacy gives us the incredible opportunity to fulfill our dream of becoming parents — something we are endlessly grateful for.

What This Journey Means to Us
This past May, we lost our beloved 12-year-old dog, Callie, to an aggressive bone cancer. We had her since she was a tiny puppy, and she was truly the heart of our home. Losing her was heartbreaking, but she also taught us what unconditional love feels like — and reminded us how much love we are ready to give as parents. We know surrogacy is a huge commitment, and we don’t take that lightly. For us, this journey is not only about building a family, but also about forming a relationship based on trust, respect, and genuine care. We promise to walk alongside our surrogate with kindness, gratitude, and openness every step of the way.

Looking Ahead
We dream of the day we’ll hold our child for the first time, surrounded by the love of our family and friends. More than anything, we’re excited to share our lives, our traditions, and our love with them. Christina can’t wait to read bedtime stories and pass on her love of books, while Anthony looks forward to discovering which sports light up our little one’s heart. And of course, we can’t wait to make extra pancakes on Sunday mornings for one more at the table.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We are so hopeful, so grateful, and so excited for the future that lies ahead.
