Dear Surrogate,

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us a little better now that your path and ours have crossed. We are Quentin and Romain, two men aged 32 and 33.

Let's start at the beginning, we live in France, not far from the sea in the Normandy region.

We feel it's important to tell you something, because being a father is something we've felt for a long time. We want to have our own family, to get up at night, to rock, to love, to comfort, to watch our child grow. All of these feelings did not come with time, they have been within us from the beginning.

It's not very original, but we met on the internet, we lived in the same city, we saw each other and we never left each other again. We saw life the same way, and very quickly we decided to live together in a house with our two respective cats.

We do a lot of things together, we help each other a lot, we share the best and the worst with a lot of kindness. We like to go on adventures, to visit, to create memories, just the two of us, with our friends or our families. This path has been going on for 6 years.

Very much in love, after 3 years, we asked each other on the sofa very simply if we wanted to get married. And a few months later it was done, on a whim, in a small group with our families in a cute, romantic and super-intimate place.

Over the last six years, we've strengthened our relationship, and our strength is being together in all situations. Of course, in the midst of all this, one question came up right from the start: “do you want to be a dad?” Our answer: Yes.

Surrogacy quickly became a preferred choice, we had been looking into it for several years. The Canadian approach allowed us to realize our dream of parenthood from the very beginning of this little baby's life. And it's all thanks to women like you, ready to give a gift of life in a way that is compatible with our values. There's one important point we want to make and that is the respect for others.

We would like to be able to create a relationship with you, neither too close nor too distant, even after birth. Because we are taking this journey together now, but also because he or she will have questions later, and particularly because you will forever the person who gave birth to our child.

Our life as three is a dream that is about to come true: the day this child will show up. We would like to create a BabyBook for our child, retracing our journey, his journey, so that he can understand and know his story.

We can't wait to see him grow up and take him to school, organize birthday parties, read stories to him, watching him play with his cousins, to introduce him to our favorite cartoons, to transmit our values to him, tolerance, to see his or her eyes glaze over at every new thing he or she discovers. We have plans for him, we're already thinking about his future: does he want to study? Sports? Music? Opera? Movies? And many other things. The only thing we want is his/her happiness.

We know this desire to be a father, we feel it deep inside us, this desire to be f igures of support, of love, of sharing. We're ready to welcome a baby into our home, we already have ideas for his room, our rhythm of life and flexible working hours will be very useful for our new role as dad. We already have some experience with children, we are both godfathers and regularly we are looking after Quentin's little godson, who lives not far from us. Since his birth we have been very present and we see each other every week.

Grandparents (eager to become grandparents for the first time) will be happy to look after our child. Around us, friends and family are also eager that we present to them a little baby that they can cuddle.

This surrogacy adventure that you are beginning, we can continue it together, give life and help us realize our dream of becoming parents and starting our family. This dream of life cannot come true without you, and we hope you'll find us worthy of you to carry our child.

Quentin & Romain
