Hello wonderful souls!
We are a gay couple living in Switzerland and looking to make our little family grow with the help of a loving and caring person 🙂
A little bit about us: we met after new year’s in 2019. João had just moved in 2018 to work in Switzerland and we met online. After days of chatting online, we decided to meet up. We are a little of a geek people, so our first date was really fun and we discussed about everything, from politics to nature, from hobbies to our hopes and dreams for us and for our planet. It really matched as we both are really environmentally friendly (our friends say we might be a little too obsessed with sustainability! 🙂 ).
Our first big adventure together was a trip to Vienna, Austria, in February 2019. It was our first time spending 24/7 together and it was a really good vacation! We had so much fun in this wonderful city!
After that, our journey together started to become more serious, but always with some laughter.
We then came out to our families, a difficult step to us, but hopefully they accepted us as we are. We are fortunate to be surrounded with open-minded people.
We started to live together in Neuchâtel, in August 2019 and we bought our first house together in the same region in February 2024. We chose a house that is big enough to have the family that we want and with a garden so we can have some fun outdoors too. We live near the Neuchâtel Lake, so in the summer we can just enjoy and swim in the fresh and clean water.
We love spending time making our house feel like a home. We try to do a lot of things ourselves, like painting, decorating and gardening.
We really like going on long walks, discovering new places, traveling to learn about other cultures, playing boardgames with friends and family and learning about everything!

João is 32 years old, he was born in Portugal in a small city named Abrantes. He grew up there, in a loving family. He doesn’t have any siblings but he has a lot of cousins. His parents still live in the region and they get together at least four times a year. João always had animals around him and his parents still have a really fun Beagle at home, Jade. João graduated from high school in Abrantes and did his medical studies in the University of Lisbon. He went to Switzerland in 2018 to study Psychiatry and Psychotherapy and finished his medical residency program in 2024. He is now a certified psychiatrist and cognitive-behavioral therapist (CBT) and has his own practice in Neuchâtel. He speaks fluent Portuguese, English and French, and he can manage small conversations in Spanish.

Joan is 34 years old, he was born in Switzerland and he lived in a small town, Fleurier. He was born in a big and loving family and he has a younger brother and a younger sister. His parents and siblings live in the Neuchâtel region and we spend a lot of time in their company, especially to play boardgames together. Joan graduated from high school in Neuchâtel and did earn a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from University of Lausanne. After a small job in a non profit association working with children and 6 months volunteering in Ecuador in an orphanage, he decided to become a science teacher. Now, he teaches natural sciences to children aged 13 to 15 years old. He speaks French, English and Spanish and he is making a real effort to speak Portuguese, so this language can also be part of our family.

We really like to be with our friends and see them frequently to share a meal together and play board games. We really like to enjoy nature in Switzerland and to travel to exotic places to get to know new cultures and lifestyles.

We just bought our first house together in February 2024, in Cortaillod in the Neuchâtel region. Our house has four bedrooms and a spacious open-plan living area that serves as the heart of our home. We have a garden with trees and an open space where our friends’ children love to play. We have a lot of plants in our home and we love to watch the sun light enter through our big windows. Our neighborhood is calm and we have a really good relationship with our next-door neighbors. We live near the lake, the river and the forest, which makes a perfect environment for walks and our relaxing time together.
When we think about our future child, our greatest wish is to be loving and supportive parents, just like it was with our own families. We want to create a joyful and nurturing environment, raising our child to be kind, respectful, and full of dreams. Our goal is to give him/her all the tools needed to find happiness.

Since we started dating, we knew that we wanted to discover the world together. Between our road trips throughout Europe and the big travels around the world, we already visited a lot of countries together, like Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Costa Rica, Mexico, and The United States. In our bucket list are countries like Canada, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Ecuador, Iceland, and so many more.

We really like to relax in the natural springs of Switzerland, we love gardening and decorating our house. We love to watch series and movies together; we like the time that we spend on long walks in nature. Joan likes snowboard and João to swim in the lake. We like to discuss about politics and economics, about global warming and how we can reduce our gas emissions. We like to plan our future together and put some goals on the table and work towards them.

We’ve spent a lot of time planning and saving for this, and we are fully prepared to cover all costs in alignment with Canadian law. You do not need to worry about this part of the process; we are ready to support you in every way needed.

To the incredible person who chooses to be our surrogate: we will be forever thankful to you. You will be the carrier of our dream, the person who helps us bring our dream into reality. This is why we are committed to supporting you in every way we can.
We don’t want to “just” find a surrogate. We hope to find a friend; someone we can connect with, share conversations with, and stay in touch with, even if distance separates us. If someday she would want to visit Europe, there would always be a place in our home for her and her family.
While we may not always be able to be physically present during the pregnancy, we will always be there for you virtually, offering support and care every step of the way. At the same time, we understand the importance of respecting your boundaries, and we hope you’ll share with us what you’re comfortable with so we can ensure this experience is as positive as possible for you.
We plan to tell our future child his/her true story since the beginning, and the role that our loving surrogate in bringing him/her into the world.

We hope that our story, our lives and our dreams, have spoken to you. Even if you are not sure about us, don’t let your fear hold you back. Just send us a message and let’s talk to see if we match together. We would really much like to talk about our dream with you, and if you decide to be part of it, we know that you will not regret it, because who would regret to be part of such a big dream?
