Meet Alexandre & Arnaud
Location: Ohey, Belgium

We are Alexandre and Arnaud, two men who found each other. We met on a dating app, the way many people do these days. We exchanged messages, then voice notes, and quickly felt that there was something genuine between us. When we finally decided to meet in person, Alexandre arrived a few minutes late — something Arnaud still lovingly teases him about to this day. But the moment Alexandre walked in, something clicked. Within the first few minutes, he felt the warmth and sincerity that Arnaud carries so naturally. We talked for hours, first over drinks, then walking together around a lake as the evening stretched on, neither of us wanting it to end. That night, we shared our first kiss by the car. A quiet, simple moment — and the beginning of everything.
A few weeks later, when Alexandre came over for the first time, Arnaud had prepared the entire evening. What touched Alexandre most was that Arnaud had bought small treats for Nala, Alexandre’s rabbit. That gesture said everything about who Arnaud is: someone who pays attention and shows love through a thousand small acts of care.
We are different in many ways and we think that’s one of our greatest strengths. Alexandre is a child and adolescent psychologist, currently completing a PhD in psychological sciences and training in integrative psychotherapy. He is thoughtful, empathetic, a natural planner — the one who remembers every date, handles the paperwork, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. He loves coffee, pizza and a good movie. Arnaud is the personal assistant to a CEO and serves as an elected local official in our municipality. He is deeply committed to serving his community, driven by a genuine desire to help others — a value that echoes closely in Alexandre’s own vocation. Arnaud is a member of the neighbourhood committee. He loves being active, values having a busy social life, and plays tennis.
A few months after our first date, we moved in together and began building our home. And very naturally, the conversation turned to something we had both always known we wanted: a child. We hadn’t found the right person to share that dream with, until we found each other. Since then, we have talked at length about the kind of parents we want to be, the values we want to pass on, and the environment we want to create. We’ve talked with our families, who are already waiting with open arms. This child will be born into a tribe — a warm, loving, close-knit circle of grandparents, uncles, aunts, and dear friends who are already so eager to meet them.
We picture Arnaud cooking Sunday breakfast, little one sitting beside him. We picture Alexandre picking them up from school and listening closely to every detail of their day. We picture Nala being gently petted by two small curious hands. We picture the first laughs, the first steps, the first time they call us dad.
We have thought about this child for a long time now. All that’s missing is you. If something in these words resonates with you, if you feel even a flicker of connection to our story — please know that we would be honoured, moved, and endlessly grateful to walk this journey alongside you. You would be the missing piece of our team as we already have an egg donor, a clinic, etc. And most importantly, you would be giving us our family.
With all our hope and our heart,
Alexandre & Arnaud
—LETTER TO SURRO—
There are moments in life that words struggle to hold — and writing this letter is one of them. We have thought about you, the woman reading these lines, long before we even knew who you were. And now that you are here, taking the time to learn about us, we want you to know something from the very first sentence: we are deeply and profoundly grateful.
We are Alexandre and Arnaud. Two men who fell in love, built a home together, and have dreamed of becoming fathers. That dream led us here, to you. When we first began exploring the paths available to us, we sought guidance from a lawyer specializing in family law. And from the very first conversation, one path felt right: surrogacy. Not just as a legal option, but as a deeply human one — a journey built on trust, generosity, and an extraordinary connection between people. We chose Canada because it is a country with long-standing experience in this field, and one whose values — openness, respect, care — resonate deeply with our own.
We want to be honest with you about what we hope for, while making one thing absolutely clear: your comfort, your boundaries, and your well-being come first. Always.
What we would love, if it feels right to you, is a real human connection. Messages to check in, video calls to share news, and visits to Canada to be close to you during this journey. We would want to be present at the birth — that moment we have imagined so many times — and to be by your side, not just as intended parents, but as people who genuinely care about you. After the birth, we would cherish the idea of staying in touch — sending you photos on birthdays and meaningful milestones, perhaps visiting every few years, whether in Canada or in Belgium. But if you prefer to close that chapter after the birth, we will honour that completely. This is your journey too, and we will follow your lead.
We understand — as much as two people who haven’t lived it can — that what you are considering doing is extraordinary. Carrying a child, giving your body, your time, your energy, your heart to someone else’s dream… There are no words large enough for that. As a psychologist who works every day with children and families, Alexandre knows something about what it means to hold space for another person’s most vulnerable moments. And Arnaud, who has devoted much of his life to public service and caring for his community, knows what it means to give of yourself for others. We see you. We honour what you are prepared to do.
As for the child we hope to welcome, more than anything, we wish for them to be healthy and loved. We are so eager to meet them. To hold them for the first time. To get through those first sleepless nights together. We want to watch them smile, hear their first words, catch them on their first wobbly steps. We have so much love waiting — an entire home, an entire family, a whole tribe of grandparents, friends, and loved ones.
To you, the woman who might say yes to this journey with us: thank you. Thank you for even considering it. Thanks to you, what has lived in our hearts as a dream could become the most real and beautiful thing in our lives. You wouldn’t just be giving us a child. You would be giving us everything.
With all our hearts,
Alexandre & Arnaud
