We are Fanny & Alexandre, a French couple living in the east of Paris in a city called Saint-Mandé just next to the Vincennes park.
We are both 40 years old. We know each other since high school. At that time, Alexandre was in love with me, but it was only years later, after 10 years of losing contact, that our relationship began, thanks to Facebook 🙂
That was almost 12 years ago.

We both grew up in eastern Paris. Although we didn’t go to the same schools, we got to know each other at an early age through mutual friends. Today, those childhood friends are still part of our lives and hold a very special place in our hearts.
We come from the same community and social background and share the same core values: family in particular is very important to us and we are fortunate to have a large, close-knit and loving family.
On one side, there’s Francoise & Mohsen, Alexandre’s parents, and Chérine, his little sister.
On my side, there’s Serge & Sophie, my parents, and Rémi, my little brother.
We live next door to each other and thanks to this we share many wonderful moments with our two families. We particularly enjoy Sunday lunches as Françoise is an excellent cook, weekends at my country house, or holidays and occasional trips: In Spain with Alexandre’s parents where they have a nice flat by the mediterranean sea in Valencia and in Corsica, a lovely island in the south of France where my parents bought a nice flat in a village called Santa Severa.
In fact, we are surrounded, loved and lucky to have everyone’s support on this journey.

Our Values: As future parents, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive environment for our child to thrive. We believe in the importance of love, respect, and open communication, and we are committed to instilling these values in our family. We are looking forward to expanding our family and to making new memories together.

At the age of 16, I was diagnosed MRKH syndrome which prevents me from carrying a child due to the absence of a uterus.
I told Alexandre of this at the beginning of our relationship and he was always supportive, assuring me that we would find another solution.
The years passed and then, in 2017, we were informed that a team at a French hospital had just received autorisation to carry out clinical trials for a uterus transplant.
We met them. The criteria to benefit were very strict. Our profile fitted. After a series of medical and psychological tests, we were selected as one of the 8 couples eligible for this trial. But after careful consideration of the very serious consequences and risks that this could have on my health, we decided not to go through with it. None of the eight selected women got pregnant…
After that we started to get interested in surrogacy. We met at first a homosexual couple who had just had their child and who gave us hope that starting a family could be possible.
Surrogacy is forbidden in France, so it’s very difficult to get information and feedback.
We talked about it around us and realized that we were not the only ones in this situation and that happy stories could start thanks to this wonderful gift of a surrogate mother. We were convinced.
Last October we went to Toronto for IVF and we had the great surprise, very good results: today 7 embryos are waiting for us, tested good quality and frozen.
Now we have to find the incredible woman who will agree to help us start our family: We understand that the decision to become a surrogate mother is a significant one, and we want you to know that we deeply respect and appreciate the selflessness and generosity it entails.

After living all our lives in Paris, we settled in the chic suburb of Saint-Mandé next to the large Parisian park: the Bois de Vincennes. It is an ideal place for family walks and allows to raise a child peacefully and close to nature. We found our apartment at the end of confinement and it was an immediate crush: it is an apartment with two bedrooms, a large living room and a garden. A room awaits our future child! We are lucky to live in a small green setting, quiet, close to all amenities and with good schools nearby. We have built our life as a couple in the hope of having the chance to one day welcome our child, today we are ready, all the conditions are met to take this long-awaited step.

We both work, Alexander as Director in Real Estate Company, and me as Commercial Director in Digital Advertising Agency.
We don’t have any children yet, but we do have an adorable 12-year-old Chihuahua called Nina. She’s like a baby to us and we take her everywhere and she loves to travel!

Our hobbies are quite varied: Alexandre is a big fan of the Paris-Saint-Germain football team. He’s also a great sportsman and loves cycling and challenges. He’s about to run his 3rd marathon the 5th of may!
He also really enjoys eating well and preparing good food for us, I have to say, I’m very lucky to have a very good cook at home! Like any self-respecting Frenchman: cooking is very important to us.

As for myself, I practice yoga and occasionally go horse riding. One of my dreams has always been to have a beautiful house in the countryside with horses. I love animals and am very passionate about animal welfare.

My other hobby is photography. My father was a photographer and I’ve always loved beautiful pictures.
We share a passion for travelling we love to discover new landscapes and cultures because they are so enriching.
Asia, especially Thailand, Vietnam, Lao, Cambodia in particular, are destinations we love for their cuisine, the culture and way of life.

We firmly believe that our hobbies combined with our vision for the future is one filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities. We dream of a home filled with warmth and joy, where our child feels loved, supported, and cherished each and every day.

Dear Future Surrogate
We are looking forward to meeting you, getting to know you and sharing beautiful and happy moments with you.
We want our relationship to be natural and authentic, without any pressure.
We would like to play an active role as much as possible, even if this has to be done mainly from a distance due to the miles that separate us.
We would be happy to accompany and support you at every stage of this journey, be it before pregnancy, during or after the birth. We want you to know that we approach this process with the utmost respect, gratitude, and humility. We are committed to building a strong and trusting relationship with you based on mutual respect, open communication, and shared values. Your comfort and wishes will always be respected and our priority. We are committed to covering all the necessary costs for your needs.
We will make this journey together, with trust and kindness.

Thank you for considering us as potential intended parents. We look forward to the possibility of welcoming a precious child into our lives with your help and support: in a nutshell, we can’t wait to create the most beautiful French-Canadian story ever!

We imagine a sincere relationship, as natural as possible and in accordance with your wishes.
Good communication and your well-being are essential things in our opinion.

With Alexandre, we want more than anything to keep in touch with you after the birth and do not envisage that you will not be part of our life. Without you, none of this could happen.

Our child will know their story when they are old enough so that they never doubt the love we have for him/her and the kindness that human beings can show.
We would be very honored if the woman who gave birth to our child would be part of his or her future life. We imagine meetings in France and Canada, vacations together… Our common story is to be created.

Our lives are full of love and rich in happiness, but something is strongly missing. The joy of having a child, OUR BELOVED CHILD…
So thank you for your attention and for making our biggest dream possible…
