Meet Our Intended Parents
Meet Jan & Vincent
Location: Antwerp, Belgium
Watch our video:
Vincent and Jan met in the summer of 2018 when they decided to meet up for a walk in the park somewhere halfway in between of where they both lived…
At least that’s what Jan told Vincent…
In reality Jan was the one with only a bike and Vincent had a car, and since Vincent is not that great in geography, Jan made him drive to a park quite close to where he lived. Vincent only realised that after he had arrived…
That first walk led to a second date on which they went out for a drink together, a third, fourth and fifth date and after a few months Vincent had already moved in.
We started our journey to build a family a year later in 2019. This because we knew how difficult it would be. After looking into different options like adoption, fostercare and surrogacy in Belgium we could only conclude that the only realistic plan would be trying surrogacy abroad. We decided to go for it in the spring of 2024 and after speaking with lawyers, egghelpers, Create,… we now feel like our dream is becoming more and more real. We matched with a lovely eggdonor who will donate for us in april/may, so we hope to have embryo’s by the start of the summer. We are super excited for the next step: to find a surrogate. There is a lot to tell about ourselves and it is difficult to make an impression through written answers in sometimes too small textboxes. We will also provide a small movie and a short presentation and we really hope that makes a wonderful surrogate consider helping us. We can’t wait to talk some things through in person and start this journey together.
Last year Jan became the godfather of our little niece Alice. Our best friends started families last year aswell. Yasmine and Quinten welcomed their son Phil, Anais and Nico welcomed a daughter Lucie,… And we are very involved in their families. Seeing them together only made the wish of building a family of our own more prominent. We are already beyond grateful to be able to start this journey. If we would be depending on adoption we might have a child by the time Alice, Phil and Lucie go to university. We really hope we will be able to be parents all together so that our kids can grow up together. That would be one of our biggest dreams come true.
