Doing their journey in Canada

About them

We are Felix Ouellet (43) and Xin Wen (38). We first met in 2013 while attending university. We became a couple in 2018 and got married in 2020. In 2021 we started trying to have a baby naturally, but after over a year trying we turned to an IVF clinic in 2023, where we were diagnosed with low sperm count and motility for Felix, and diminished ovarian reserve for Xin. We thought things would work out, especially since several embryos passed the PGT-A. Sadly, despite multiple transfers, no implantation was successful, and no clear reason was found. We currently have two frozen embryos and are about to start another IVF cycle, hoping to create more. Now, we are exploring surrogacy with open hearts and gratitude.

Relationship status

Married

We first met in 2013 while attending university. In 2014, a small but meaningful moment sparked our connection: Xin needed help resolving an issue with her health card, but her French was still quite basic. Felix stepped in, kindly called the provider, and explained the details of the issue and solution. His patience, responsibility, and kindness made a strong first impression on Xin. After 2 years working in the same lab, Xin’s positivity, hard work and cheerfulness also made a strong impression on Felix. We became good friends, and over the years, that friendship deepened into something more. In 2016, while hiking at Mont-Orford National Park, we were asked at dusk if we'd seen a family with two kids. Realizing they might be lost, we called 911 and stayed until they were found safe. That experience showed us just how much we shared in terms of values—compassion, responsibility, and a deep sense of care for others. We became a couple in 2018 and got married in 2020.

Views on termination

As part of the surrogacy journey, there are sometimes difficult medical or ethical decisions to make, including the possibility of termination due to health risks or severe fetal anomalies. Our view is that in extreme cases medical termination is necessary. Also, we'd like to understand your views on this, just to make sure we're all on the same page. We completely respect your personal beliefs, and we’re looking for someone whose values align with ours so that everyone feels supported throughout the process.

Fun facts about me

Both my wife and I enjoy turning license-plate spotting into a fun little game. Whether we are on a road trip, walking through a parking lot, or just waiting at a red light, we like to check where plates are from, when they were created, and what the number or letter pattern might mean etc.

One other fun fact about me is that I enjoy geography-guessing games, such as the kind where you’re dropped into a random location on Google Maps and have to figure out where in the world you are.

Interests and hobbies

I really enjoy watching all kinds of movies, from sci-fi and thrillers to action, comedies, and dramas, for the excitement as well as for the perspective. Video games are another favorite pastime, especially those with historical settings that let me explore the past in an interactive way. My taste in music is broad—I love everything from rock and pop to classical.

In the summer, I make the most of the outdoors by hiking scenic trails, cycling around new areas, camping in nature, and tending to our garden. During the winter months, I stay active and energized with workouts in our mini home gym.

Whenever I have the chance, I love traveling, discovering new places, and experiencing different cultures—it’s one of my favorite ways to gain fresh perspectives and create lasting memories.

Another fun fact about me is that I am a handyman at heart. I enjoy making small renovations to our home, e.g., replacing floors and re-painting.

Interests and hobbies

I love hiking—not just for the exercise, but for the sense of peace that comes from being surrounded by nature. I’m the type of person who will happily pause to hug a tree, or admire a quiet forest path. My appreciation for nature also extends to plants. I enjoy caring for plants at home and feeling the satisfaction of watching them grow.

Cooking is another passion of mine. I enjoy experimenting with dishes from different countries, learning new skills, and discovering flavours I’ve never tried before.

Staying active is important to me as well. I make a point of exercising regularly, and on many days I walk around 20,000 steps—it’s my favourite way to clear my mind and stay healthy.

I love traveling, e.g., visiting new places, tasting local foods, and noticing how people live differently around the world.
