Meet Paddy and Sam! They live in Montreal where Sam works in Information Technology and Paddy works in Retail Sales.

It has been their dream to have a family together, but after experiencing ovarian cancer, they have turned to surrogacy. Paddy and Sam both come from large close knit families and enjoy being around their nieces and nephews. They cannot wait to give and receive unconditional love to their future child and grow together as a family.

“While that first glimpse and touch of our little one would be what we look forward to the most, we also want to enjoy the journey to the fullest. As we cannot get pregnant ourselves due to cancer, we want to experience that amazing feeling through our surrogate and that means having a great relationship with her before, during and after the pregnancy!”
