Dear Surrogate,

We are Guilhem and Nicolas (both 33), from Paris, France. You will probably have read our profile by the time you read this, so rather than introduce ourselves again, we want to tell you how we imagine our family and raising our child, and this letter is both for you and for them.

To our future child, your home will always be warm and loving. We both have so much that we want to share with you: being open and kind, not being afraid of being yourself and being curious about the world. Not being afraid to try, even if that means failing sometimes. That’s okay, your dads will be there when that happens. We will always be there for you. And we also know that you will teach us lots of things. We’ll do our best to become the best dads you deserve. The world is a beautiful, fragile and at times scary place, and you and your generation will grow up to challenges we maybe can’t imagine today. We promise to protect you and do our best to equip you so that you can go through life and always see the beauty, while also be equipped to face whatever chance puts on your path. Your dads are excited and scared to become parents, but you know what? That’s the best kind of scared. We’ll build our family together, the three of us.

To our future Surrogate : no words could express our gratitude to you for helping us have a baby. This shows what an incredible human being you are. We hope reading our profile and this letter may make sense to you, so we could start talking and knowing more about each other. We literally can not wait to meet you. The amazing journey waiting for the 3 of us will create a strong relationship between our families. We promise to be nothing but grateful and respectful, for the rest of our lives.

We can’t wait to meet the both of you,

Nicolas and Guilhem
