Jennifer & Kyohei

 

Meet Jen and Kyohei. They live in Tokyo, Japan (though Jen is from Canada) where Jen is a Video Game Producer and Kyohei is in Infrastructure Consulting Sales. They met at an international singles mixer in Tokyo where Kyohei approached Jen thinking 'Wow, she's tall!'. They got to talking and hit it off! "While we live in Tokyo, Kyouhei’s parents are only a short drive away and we have a great relationship. For our part, we both plan to take parental leave –Kyouhei is planning on taking a whole year off. Birth by surrogacy is incredibly rare among Japanese people, and the level of understanding of the process and acceptance in this country varies depending on which community you find yourself apart of, but we have been blessed with the acceptance and kindness our family, friends, and employers have shown us throughout the process so far. We are really looking forward to involving them more as things move forward."
