Meet Ludovic & Raphaël

Intended Parents – France

Ludovic and Raphaël live in Fegersheim, near Strasbourg, France, and have been together for 13 years, married for 6. From the very beginning, they knew their lives would include children and a home filled with love, values, and shared experiences.

After carefully considering both adoption and surrogacy, they chose this path in hopes of welcoming a child through a deeply human and meaningful journey — one rooted in trust, compassion, and connection. Their dream is not only to become parents, but to build a lasting relationship with their surrogate, continuing that bond well beyond birth.

They are supported by a strong circle of family and friends who are excited to welcome a new little one into their lives. Ludovic and Raphaël hope to raise their future child with an appreciation for diversity, culture, and kindness — sharing a life filled with travel, home-cooked meals, and family board game nights.

💬 “We want to love and cherish our child while helping them discover the world, respect others, and embrace cultural diversity. We hope to build a strong bond with our surrogate and keep this relationship long after the birth.”
