Meet Dor and Shay! They live in Israel where Dor works as a Software Developer and Shay works as a Writer.

They hope to have a close connection with their surrogate and her family, to whatever extent their surrogate is comfortable with, and look forward to sharing many special moments together. These two are very bubbly, engaging, and easy to talk to about anything and everything. They make it easy to laugh and feel at ease.

Together they have dreamed of starting a family for many years. Unfortunately, in their home country they cannot adopt or have babies via surrogacy. Once they discovered the option of surrogacy in Canada, their dream finally seemed possible!

“We both come from small but very close and loving families. We’ve always wanted to start our own family, and share all the love we were brought up with. Shay’s grandfather was a holocaust survivor, and from an early age he was raised knowing his story and the importance of family in our lives, both biological and chosen. We took that lesson close to our hearts, and want to start our own family to keep our love and family growing.”
