Paul & Marco
Hi! We’re Marco and Paul, and we are so excited to share a bit about ourselves and our journey toward becoming parents. Building a family has always been a dream for both of us. We spent a lot of time thinking through different options, speaking to people, and eventually decided that surrogacy in Canada felt right for us. The altruistic nature of surrogacy there aligns with our values, and it’s comforting to know that this journey is built on mutual trust and generosity. Furthermore, given Paul’s family connection to the country it just feels right!
It’s important to us that our child understands their origins, which is why we’ve also chosen a known egg donor. We’re looking for a surrogate who shares our values and would like to be a part of this incredible journey with us, staying connected even after the birth.
