An unusually warm November in Toronto gave them just enough time for a few outdoor dates before lockdown returned. Soon, they were spending evenings at each other’s apartments, and getting to know one another made that first pandemic winter a little brighter. Sandra was drawn to Bruk’s calm nature and sense of humour, while Bruk loved Sandra’s confidence and how easily their conversations flowed. Six years later, they’re married and looking forward to becoming parents. Sandra works as an associate director in capital markets, and Bruk is an AI engagement manager. Away from work, they love trying new restaurants, hosting family and friends, watching sports and settling in with a good TV series. Ask them for a recommendation and they’ll tell you they have a whole list ready. They love calling Toronto home, with its waterfront, neighbourhood parks and the chance to experience so many different cultures close to home. After learning that carrying a pregnancy would be medically difficult and risky for Sandra, they spoke with their doctors and decided to grow their family through surrogacy. They’re working with CReATe Fertility Centre and have three PGT-A tested euploid embryos, as well as one mosaic embryo. They plan to transfer one embryo at a time. Their families and close friends are already cheering them on, and there are grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins eager to welcome a little one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/89376d59-2dae-49ba-88b6-63b883f70de4/yujF270g.jpeg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Sandra & Bruk - Sandra and Bruk hope to build a warm, open relationship with their surrogate, with room to laugh together and speak honestly about what each person needs. They’d love to share milestones like an ultrasound or hearing the heartbeat, and they’d be honoured to attend the birth if she feels comfortable having them there. Afterward, they’d welcome the chance to stay in touch through photos, updates or occasional visits if that feels right for everyone. What excites them most about parenthood are the ordinary moments: family dinners, bedtime stories and kicking a ball around at the park. They can’t wait to share their family traditions, explore new places together and see what sparks their child’s curiosity. Above all, they’re looking forward to watching their little person become themselves. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-nht6b-xglws-3rbds monthly 0.5 2026-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/cb4a15b7-75f5-4f0d-80cd-a80e7bfbeefe/Picture2.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Jesse & Stephanie - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/a6f32b50-e6fc-44bf-b504-b8e8e5f61a7e/Picture4.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Jesse & Stephanie - Jesse and Stephanie’s story began over Thanksgiving at her family’s cottage in Pointe au Baril, Ontario. Jesse had grown up in the area and was doing some work for Stephanie’s stepfather when the two met. After that first meeting, they rarely went more than a week without seeing each other. They married in 2017 and now call Pointe au Baril home. They even work at the same marina, where Jesse is a construction manager and Stephanie is a sales administrator. Life in Pointe au Baril suits them well. Stephanie grew up in a skiing family and still loves hitting the slopes, trying new recipes and spending time at the beach. Jesse is happiest outdoors, whether he’s fishing, boating, snowmobiling or camping in the middle of winter. They both love spending time with Kia, their Portuguese water dog. And yes, Jesse is a Leafs fan, but don’t let that steer you away from this fun duo. You don’t have to cheer for the same team to be on their team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/8c48bd40-d3c1-4fbd-b63e-24148ccf6161/Picture6.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Jesse & Stephanie - Becoming parents has long been a dream for Jesse and Stephanie. After a pregnancy loss and several unsuccessful IVF transfers, they decided to pursue surrogacy. During their first surrogacy journey, they got to know their surrogate and her family over a camping trip and built a close friendship. Although that journey didn’t end as they had hoped, she remains a dear friend and a source of support. Jesse and Stephanie are working with CReATe Fertility Centre and have three PGS-tested embryos ready for their next journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/6cfcc865-6bc2-418c-9115-b351a684b9f2/Picture3.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Jesse & Stephanie - They hope to get to know their surrogate and build a relationship based on trust, open communication and mutual respect. They’d be happy to attend appointments, help with rides or get together over lunch if she’d enjoy that. They would love to be there for the birth if she’s comfortable, and they’re open to staying in touch afterward in whatever way feels right for her. Already a proud aunt and uncle, Jesse and Stephanie look forward to sharing the things they loved growing up. Jesse can’t wait to take their child fishing and camping, while Stephanie looks forward to teaching them to swim and ride a bike. Jesse jokes that she’ll have their little one on skis before they can walk. With family close by and plenty of room for adventures, they’re looking forward to making those memories together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/7d08228d-9b4a-4b14-8254-b7e5663152b5/Picture1.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Jesse & Stephanie https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-nht6b-xglws monthly 0.5 2026-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/f413da69-22b9-4241-90da-fbba3e83500f/Nathan+and+Stephan+8x10-8572+%28118%29.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Nathan & Stephan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/d985f8c9-431b-4b8d-8e62-334e2f8bdd07/IMG_20190823_201021.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Nathan & Stephan - Their story began at a fundraiser at Nathan’s workplace, where Stephan was volunteering as a photographer. Nathan was drawn to Stephan’s genuine smile and kindness, while Stephan admired Nathan’s sense of justice and humour. A first date led to building a home together and a relationship grounded in curiosity, care and mutual support. The couple enjoy travelling, exploring nature, attending cultural events and hosting family and friends. From dinner parties to summer evenings at the cottage, they treasure time with the people they love. Nathan enjoys film, writing, weaving and baking, while Stephan loves gardening, biking and learning about the world around him. As devoted uncles, Nathan and Stephan find joy in playing with their nieces and nephews and hearing about their interests. They cannot wait to share new foods, cultures and adventures with a child of their own, while encouraging them to discover who they are. Their path to parenthood has included a difficult setback when a dear friend who hoped to be their surrogate was unable to proceed for medical reasons. They remain close friends and continue their journey with hope. They are working with Victory Reproductive Care and have nine PGT-tested embryos ready. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/96bbebeb-b99d-4f3c-903d-ea0ad3b26fae/IMG_2569.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Nathan & Stephan - Nathan and Stephan hope to build a relationship with their surrogate rooted in kindness, honesty and open communication.

Although they live internationally, they are committed to being involved throughout the journey and being present for important moments whenever possible. Outside of their careers, Lionel and Andy enjoy spending time with family and friends, travelling, discovering new places, and enjoying everything Paris has to offer. They also enjoy staying active through running and fitness. Lionel has played piano since childhood and continues to take lessons on weekends, a passion he hopes to share with his future child. At home, they enjoy the companionship of their two cats, Gioia and Zac, who bring warmth and happiness to their daily lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/bb3555f4-4314-4a6d-a220-dd7825a89298/Picture3.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Lionel & Andy - Their personalities complement each other beautifully.

Although they live internationally, they plan to travel to Canada during the pregnancy whenever possible and would love to be present for the birth if their surrogate is comfortable. They hope the relationship continues long after their baby is born, with regular updates, visits, and a lifelong connection. To them, their surrogate will always be a cherished part of their family's story. Outside of medicine, they enjoy an active and balanced lifestyle. During the warmer months, you'll often find them running or at the gym, while winter evenings are spent rewatching Harry Potter or strolling through the fairy-tale streets of snow-covered Olomouc. Michal enjoys building LEGO sets, reading, playing video games, and cheering on his favourite NHL teams, while Miloš enjoys gardening at his parents' home and watching documentaries about history and architecture.

They understand that pregnancy comes with both excitement and uncertainty, especially after experiencing pregnancy loss, so regular communication and updates are something they deeply appreciate. More than anything, they hope both their surrogate and baby remain healthy throughout the journey. When they're not working, Jennifer and Brad love making memories together. Whether they're taking road trips through the mountains, exploring the Oregon Coast, travelling somewhere tropical, attending concerts or hockey games, or simply spending time with family and friends, they find joy in life's shared experiences. Hockey season brings a little friendly rivalry to their home, with Brad cheering passionately for the Edmonton Oilers while Jennifer proudly supports the Vancouver Canucks. Their kitchen is truly the heart of their home. Jennifer loves cooking homemade meals while Brad happily joins as her sous-chef, and together they enjoy making fresh pasta, baking, and hosting gatherings filled with laughter and great conversation. They also love tackling home renovation projects, caring for their home, and spending cozy evenings on the couch with their beloved dogs, Teddy and Piper, who became cherished members of their family during some of life's most difficult moments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/609f1594-6d33-4baa-930f-bae1548eaf65/Picture3.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Jennifer & Brad - Jennifer and Brad credit much of their strength to the lessons they've learned through grief. Therapy has taught them to focus on what they can control, what they can influence, and what they must let go. Through every challenge, they have leaned on open communication, unwavering respect, and the deep friendship that has been the foundation of their relationship since they first met in 2001. Married for over two decades, they continue to face every obstacle as a team. Living in Okotoks offers them everything they hoped for in a place to raise a family. Surrounded by nature, close to the mountains, lakes, and parks, yet only a short drive from Calgary, they love the strong sense of community and the countless opportunities for outdoor adventures and family life. Jennifer and Brad cannot wait to experience the simple, beautiful moments of parenthood that so many people take for granted—the first cuddle, bedtime stories, family vacations, scraped knees, birthday celebrations, and watching their child grow into the person they're meant to become. Above all else, they look forward to one day telling their child the incredible story of how they came into the world, surrounded by extraordinary love, incredible resilience, and the selfless generosity of a surrogate who helped make their greatest dream come true. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-fwjpg monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/2edcc08d-2698-4b5f-aa45-dedfa30f77c2/Picture1.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Mike & Ron - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-cr7xn-rk8my-bg3h7-gb6yp-ra2en-sar4p monthly 0.5 2026-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/041b4e9b-0575-4420-b8a1-e2f1ae1cf5ef/IMG_8307.jpeg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Geoffrey & Joseph - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-cr7xn-rk8my-bg3h7-gb6yp-ra2en monthly 0.5 2026-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/aa79d16a-8a43-4d79-a51f-572ebcf56153/WhatsApp+Image+2026-01-30+at+21.18.17.jpeg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Yuval & Kfir - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-cr7xn-rk8my-bg3h7-gb6yp monthly 0.5 2026-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/7be91b4d-8ade-4ebc-a1ff-676ee452747b/Picture1.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Kris & Michel - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-cr7xn-rk8my-bg3h7-dbxgc-9s54e-cseec-l3thn-rxrnn monthly 0.5 2026-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/acd9e8ff-63b1-4432-ac4c-c95f67b9a264/cwYPKnQQ.jpeg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Tal & Tal - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-cr7xn-rk8my-bg3h7-dbxgc-9s54e-cseec-l3thn monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/3e1a83fe-3f3d-4e56-a881-98f693161889/anthony.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Anthony & William - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-cr7xn-rk8my-bg3h7-dbxgc-9s54e monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/f3ff1ddf-2f87-409c-b56c-4855657fbce3/Christian.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Christian & Kwokmun - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-xs4bs-7w74g-4cmn9-2ny95 monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/7bf64b28-cae5-47af-9296-de1fedcf74c7/dacien.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Dacien & Shaun - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/560b442c-0b71-4307-bff0-f71bc0407d1f/dacien+3.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Dacien & Shaun - Dacien and Shaun live in Waterloo, a vibrant inner-city suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, where they’ve built a life centered on love, intention, and community. Shaun works as a Quick Service Restaurant Area Manager, while Dacien is a Head of Technical Services and Production Operations Specialist. Together, they balance busy professional lives with a deep commitment to family, connection, and the future they are building side by side. As a same-sex couple, Dacien and Shaun have always known that surrogacy would play a meaningful role in bringing their family to life. Their journey began with finding one another and committing to a shared forever. Now, they are preparing to welcome the next chapter—parenthood—with open hearts and immense gratitude. They are overjoyed to be expecting their first child in June 2025, a milestone made even more special by the presence of a close family friend from Sydney who is living with them throughout the pregnancy. Her generosity has allowed Dacien and Shaun to experience this journey in person, creating moments they will cherish forever. From the very beginning, Dacien and Shaun envisioned a family with two children. As they look ahead, they are excited that their sibling journey will take place in Canada, where the surrogacy process and support systems align closely with their values. They hope to connect with someone who shares their passion for building a loving, respectful, and supportive environment—someone who will help them bring their vision of family to life with care and mutual trust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/65cb87cc-d61b-46bb-a3e1-5f5468b0f09c/dacien+2.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Dacien & Shaun - Family plays a central role in their lives. Living just 15 minutes from Dacien’s family, including his grandmother and aunt who helped raise him, allows for regular weekly catch-ups filled with love, laughter, and shared history. Shaun’s family, based in Queensland, remains just as close despite the distance. Frequent video calls and regular visits for holidays and special occasions ensure those bonds remain strong. As the youngest of three siblings, Shaun is surrounded by the joyful energy of nieces and nephews, with five children between his brother and sister. Outside of work, Dacien and Shaun cherish their daily routines and quiet moments together. Shaun is an early riser who enjoys starting his day with a gym session or a run, followed by a morning walk with their beloved dog, Boost, a 14-year-old mastiff cross staffy who is very much part of the family. Weekends often include park runs with friends, leisurely walks through nearby green spaces, or relaxing mornings at home. They also enjoy unwinding with their favorite television shows, including Survivor, The Challenge, Below Deck, and RuPaul’s Drag Race—while Shaun proudly claims Judge Judy as his ultimate guilty pleasure. Travel has long been a shared joy, with many memorable cruises taken alongside family, and they look forward to creating even more meaningful experiences together in the years to come. Sydney provides the perfect backdrop for their growing family. With two large parks just steps from home, easy access to the city’s cultural life, and scenic weekend drives to places like the Blue Mountains, Dacien and Shaun feel incredibly fortunate to live in a place that supports both adventure and connection. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-cr7xn-rk8my-bg3h7-dbxgc-wcen5-nlylg monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/1ebcc768-8993-4ed0-a6be-b69f530ccf90/bo.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Bo & Songlin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-cr7xn-rk8my-bg3h7-dbxgc monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/b720510a-dfbd-407f-b4e0-e91cfec85054/Dara.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Dara & Kiwan - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-cr7xn-rk8my-bg3h7 monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/decd6786-4b94-47d4-b43f-a39787a59f9a/Jason.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Jason - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-cr7xn-rk8my monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/55e3ec31-d7c4-4453-aaad-e38ca7368c1c/Aurto+1.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Arturo & Francisco - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-cr7xn monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/5310509a-94aa-4656-ae2e-2429edbf6105/Christine.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Christine & Trevor - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-xs4bs-7w74g-4cmn9 monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/402df729-16bb-463d-a5a1-ebbdd634e9af/jeff.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Jeff & Justin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/da3c422a-05ac-49d6-b5be-875d21b8a388/jeff+2.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Jeff & Justin - Our Interests & Everyday Life Justin: In my free time, I love spending time with Jeff — working on home projects, caring for Luna, or exploring the outdoors. We’re both dedicated to fitness and train together at our local CrossFit gym 4–5 times per week. We enjoy trying new restaurants around Vancouver, relaxing at home with Netflix, and spending time with family. I also play volleyball and enjoy online games with friends and relatives. Jeff: I start most mornings with yoga — a daily practice that grounds me. I also love running twice a week, which gives me space to think, plan, and recharge. Cooking is another passion, and I enjoy researching new recipes to make for us. When I have extra time, I read or listen to political discussions and current events. Staying informed is important to me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/60741a81-cdc7-43a6-b213-60ca60201d43/jeff+3.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Jeff & Justin Our Dream of Becoming Parents From the very first day we met, we talked about our future — and family was always at the heart of it. Both of us knew from a young age that becoming parents would be challenging for us, but it never stopped us from dreaming. Over the years, that dream has grown stronger. We envision a home filled with love, learning, laughter, and the kind of support we were both lucky to receive from our families. We’re excited and hopeful for the journey ahead, and we look forward to growing our family with the same love, commitment, and joy that have shaped our life together. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents-xs4bs-dagat monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/9ed1889f-00ae-45b3-bc7b-1c003de0c6cb/mervin.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Mervin & Daniel - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/5dc87f76-7140-4302-bf20-abaf03f24a00/Picture1.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Mervin & Daniel - We’re Mervin and Daniel, partners for ten years and currently living in Melbourne, Australia. We first met online, but our real story began on a Saturday morning in a small café — the kind of warm, ordinary moment that ended up changing both our lives. Our home is shared with Theo, our affectionate six-year-old tuxedo cat, who believes he runs the household. We love hosting dinners with friends, but we’re just as happy spending quiet evenings on the couch with Theo curled between us. We come from families who have shown us the meaning of love, support, and resilience. Their example has shaped the kind of parents we hope to be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6777011956bc646458353513/0f0f6cdf-8f47-46d8-b9f9-2e93aa46502a/mervin+%26+Daniel+3.jpg Intended Parents CMS (blog setup) - Mervin & Daniel - Daniel loves baking and reading, especially fantasy novels. Merv collects old typewriters, enjoys running, and aims to write one handwritten letter every week. Together, we balance each other in all the best ways. For the past eight years, we’ve been working toward building our family. We’ve learned so much about adoption, permanent care, and surrogacy in Australia. After years of training, applications, interviews, and reflection, we chose surrogacy — the path that feels right for us. We’ve both always wanted to be parents, even before we met; when we found each other, that dream only grew stronger. We’re excited, hopeful, and deeply grateful to be taking these next steps toward becoming dads. https://www.canadiansurrogacysolutions.com/meet-our-intended-parents/meet-indended-parents monthly 0.5
