Meet Emmanuel & Christopher
Location: Cossonay, Switzerland
Watch our video:
We are Christopher and Emmanuel, a married couple living in the charming town of Cossonay in the Swiss countryside near Lake Geneva. We can’t wait to start our family, hopefully with your help!
Here’s a bit about us:
Christopher grew up in California and attended university in San Francisco, moving to Switzerland in 2012. He works in the legal field and actively volunteers for our local LGBTQ+ association.
Emmanuel grew up in a small village in the Swiss Alps, spending his winters skiing and his summers in his family’s alpine cabin. He works as a food technology engineer.
We literally bumped into each other one night in a bar in San Francisco in 2010, and danced the rest of the night away. We started dating right away and, before we knew it, we had fallen in love. Emmanuel was in the US on a student visa and eventually had to return home. We did everything that we could to stay together, which eventually led to Chris moving to Switzerland and us getting married in each of our home countries as laws evolved.
We enjoy spending weekends in the Alps, hiking or snowshoeing depending on the season, reading, and being out in nature. We also like traveling, gardening, playing with our cat, cooking our favorite meals together, and getting together with our friends and families. Spending lots of time with our niece, nephew and all of our friends’ kids has shown us that we would be awesome, playful dads.
Both of us always wanted to have a family with kids; however, growing up gay, we never believed having children would be possible. As the laws have now evolved in both of our home countries, we’re super excited that we can now legally have a child and start the family we always dreamed of having!
Our child will grow up in a bilingual (French and English) environment, learning about our respective cultures and discovering each of our interests that we hope to share with them. Emmanuel is the more adventurous out of the two of us and is eager to teach our child how to ski, while Chris is more creative and is excited to share his passion for movies, music and crafts. We’re looking forward to sharing all of our hobbies with our child, and helping them to discover the world around us.
Currently, we have embryos frozen at the Create Fertility clinic, and we can’t wait to find the perfect surrogate to participate in the next steps of our journey and to become an integral part of our family. Ideally, we would love to have frequent communication, with regular check-ins and support for each other.
We are really looking forward to meeting you and to taking these next steps together!
