Meet Our Intended Parents
Meet Kate & Eric
Location: Calgary, AB
Dear Future Surrogate,
Before I say anything else, I want to say thank you. Not the polite, obligatory kind of thank you, but the kind that sits in your chest and doesn’t have quite enough words around it. The fact that you are reading this, that you are even considering this journey, means more to Eric and me than we will ever fully be able to express. So I’ll just start there, and try my best.
My name is Kate, and I want you to know that I am writing this from the heart, one person to another, because what you are considering doing is one of the most generous things one person can offer another, and I don’t take that lightly for even a moment.
Let me tell you a little about how we got here. Eric and I always knew we wanted to be parents. Surrogacy and adoption were paths we had spoken about openly long before life made the decision more urgent, because we both believe, deeply, that family is built on love first and everything else second. Then in 2024, I was diagnosed with a large fibroid that had grown to a size that seriously threatened my health. I needed surgery to remove it, and the result was a full hysterectomy. It was one of the harder things I have been through. Not just physically, but in the quiet, private way that grief sometimes arrives without warning. I mourned something I hadn’t fully prepared to lose.
But here is where the story turns. My ovaries were preserved. My eggs are my own. And right now, as I write this to you, we are preparing for egg extraction, an incredibly hopeful step that means a child who is truly ours is still possible. That possibility exists because of people like you. I don’t quite know how to hold that without feeling overwhelmed by it, so mostly I just feel grateful.
I also want to be honest with you: we are a little nervous. There is a vulnerability in placing your deepest hope into a journey you cannot fully control. I imagine you understand that feeling in your own way. And honestly, I think that shared honesty is a pretty good place to start.
When it comes to the relationship between us, we don’t come in with a fixed picture. We just want it to feel genuine for both of us. Open communication, mutual respect, and boundaries that work for everyone. We are open to letting the relationship find its own shape, built on honest communication and whatever feels right for both of us. After the journey, we hope to stay connected in a way that feels right, sharing the big moments, sending photos, and making sure our child grows up knowing the truth of their birth story, including the incredible person who helped make it possible.
What I can promise you, without hesitation, is this: this child will be so wanted. So loved. So surrounded by family, warmth, and a village of people who have been hoping right alongside us. We are ready to be the parents we have always known we would be, and we cannot wait to get there.
We are hopeful. We are ready. And we are so looking forward to the possibility of meeting you.
With so much gratitude,
Kate (and Eric)
