About them

Hi!

We are Lauren and Ryan, a couple in our 30's ready to expand our family by two more little feet.

We have a beautiful son Elliott, that Lauren was able to carry, but was advised after his birth that if we wanted more children we would need to pursue surrogacy.

Lauren would be more then willing to share more of those details surrounding Elliotts birth after they have made a connection.

The relationship we hope to build

We are prepared to reimburse our surrogate for anything she may need during pregnancy including lost wages and counselling. We are comfortable working with a surrogate with a higher income. Open communication and trust are important We would like to attend appointments if possible Supportive and respectful partnership - we will be there for you every step of the way. We'd love to keep in touch afterwards, and would be more than happy to send along photos and videos of our baby growing up.
