To Our Incredible Surrogate,

Thank you so much for clicking into our profile to learn more about us. We’re Nick and Daniel from Paris, France, and we can’t wait to meet you!

We’ve been together for six years and our friends describe us as being relentlessly positive and supportive. We value quality time with our loved ones, and enjoy learning new things, and making each other laugh. We like to read, DIY projects, cooking, the NYTimes Wordle and Connections.

Daniel is French from the south near Marseille and Nick is from the U.S., from the tiny state of Connecticut. We met at an (amateur) swim competition in New York, and have been inseparable ever since, despite starting off long distance and figuring out how to be together across countries/continents. We can really say we’ve crossed an ocean for each other.

We’ve settled into an apartment in a quiet neighborhood in Paris on a pedestrian-only street that feels a bit like a small town. We’re surrounded by little shops, our local schools are all a few minutes walk away, and all the neighborhood kids gather to play outside of our building at the end of the day. We can’t wait to take our little one to the local swimming pool or the park around the corner.

We first realized we wanted to have a child four years ago, and we’ve been trying to make that dream a reality ever since. Very quickly in our relationship, we knew we wanted to spend our lives together and that we could truly build a family together. We have a lot of love to give and we would love to share that love with a little one, and help them grow into themselves. Because of the difficulties with adoption as a gay couple, and as we learned more about surrogacy, we felt that a surrogacy journey was the right choice for us. Our journey so far has led us to meet so many incredible people who have been so generous with us, including our incredible egg donor. At this point, we have 21 embryos with 9 all cleared and PGT-A tested with Dr. Victory at VRC in Windsor, Ontario, and now we’re looking for an amazing surrogate to help us bring our little one into the world.

We can’t express how touched we are that you would consider being our surrogate, and we’re so excited to get to know you and your family. We know it’s a long journey to undertake together, but we promise that we will be there for you with whatever you need before, during and after the birth. We truly hope to build a meaningful connection over the course of our journey together, and to stay in touch as much as you would like in the future. All in all, we are so grateful for this incredible gift.

Looking forward to this beautiful journey with you,

Nick & Daniel
