Todd, Canadian Intended Parent in Ontario, Canada

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

Having been together for 8 years, living together for 6, we have built a great life and home for ourselves and are looking to grow our family, giving a child the opportunity to grow up in a nurturing, loving environment, with plenty of opportunities for growth and self-fulfillment. We are both very much looking forward to the opportunity to add to our family.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

Both Michael and myself (Todd) have been together for 8 years, living together for 6. Growing up as the eldest of four children, Michael is well-suited for parenthood, as am I, having grown up with dozens of cousins from my 10 aunts and 7 uncles, taking care of, at various points, of our little cousins and siblings. We live in a suburban neighbourhood in a large home, enjoy being at home and the outdoors equally, regularly taking part in community events such as running races and triathlons. We are both easy-going, yet hard-working. Michael works as a corporate adult educator in a financial organization, whereas I work in municipal public health. We live nearby many great schools, parks, and trails.
