What they're looking for

Their hopes and requirements for a surrogate

The relationship we hope to build

We'd love to get to know somebody with a sense of humour and adventure, who is OK with weird Australian timezone challenges.

Our French is absolutely terrible, so we'd be looking to communicate in English.

Vaccination information

We're both medical doctors and strongly believe in taking care of our own health. We know that this means something slightly different to everybody, but, for us, vaccination is a really simple and safe way to protect ourselves (and our future children).

Views on termination

We strongly support access to safe abortion in all circumstances for all people. Our embryos are PGS tested, and we're ready for a discussion with our surrogate about how our values align on termination and what that would mean if things didn't go to plan. We have more experience than many with fetal abnormalities and conditions affecting babies (through our work), but even so, it is impossible to really know how we would feel unless it actually happened to us. In general, we would probably suggest ending a pregnancy if there were significant fetal problems, but would also never pressure a surrogate to undergo a procedure she wasn't comfortable with, including a termination.
