<p>We met in 2010 at the very start of graduate school and instantly had a strong connection. We haven weathered so many unexpected storms together — loss of close family members, cancer,<br />infertility — and we are so much stronger than we were before our many losses. Our partnership is built on a strong foundation rooted in friendship, respect, and admiration for each other. Our<br />relationship is consistent, it is stable, and we have a hell of a lot of fun together!</p> </div>

<h2>WHAT LED US TO SURROGACY</h2><p>J is a cancer survivor and unable to carry due to the cancer treatment her body endured. She often shares that on days when she received chemotherapy, she would instantly cry the moment the chemotherapy infusion was about to start. C, with his cool, calm, and collected demeanor, softly reminded her that this difficult time would pass and their babies would be in their arms. The thought of being a mom got her through her most challenging moments during treatment.</p><h2>WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN A MATCH</h2><p>We want our little girl to know you! Duke has an incredible relationship with my best friend who carried him, and we want that for our little girl. She will know how she came into this world, and we would like our next surrogate to want a relationship with her.</p> </div>

<h2>OUR HOPES AND DREAMS FOR OUR FUTURE CHILD</h2><p>That she — yes, we want a baby girl — will know we planned for her and that our family did not feel complete without her. That she learns to laugh a lot, have a solid sense of humor, confidence in her unique gifts, talents, and strengths, and that she knows she will always have a safe space to be uniquely herself with her mom and dad.</p><h2>FAMILY TRADITIONS AND VALUES</h2><p>Our home is always buzzing with people. We believe it takes a village to raise a child and also to bring one into this world, so we aspire for our children to spend as much time with the people we love so they can see, hear, and feel just how loved they are.</p> </div>
