Our path to parenthood has required a great deal of patience and strength. We have navigated the quiet heartbreaks of the past few years by leaning on each other and our close village of family and friends. Those experiences didn't change our goal; they only made us more certain of the love we have to share.

Our blueprints are finished and our garden is growing. We are simply looking for the right person to help us bring the first child into this home. If you feel a "click" with our story, we would love to hear from you.

What We Are Looking For

We believe that bringing a child into the world is a collaborative dream. Because of that, we are looking for a partner who feels a natural alignment with how we live our lives.

A Kindred Spirit Connection: We aren’t just looking for a professional arrangement. We are hoping to find someone we naturally click with. We value a relationship built on ease, where conversation flows and we can genuinely enjoy the journey together.

California & Beyond: We call California home. Being geographically close a plus.

An ideal match for us:

Falls within ASRM guidelines
Is in close in proximity to California
Has healthy habits
Has an established support system
Lives in a surrogacy friendly state

The Heart of Our Nest

If you were to step into our home on a typical Saturday, you would likely find the air filled with the scent of a new recipe we are testing or the sound of the garden gate swinging shut as we finish a morning outside. Our life together is built on these small, intentional moments.

While our professional lives keep us busy—Christy in her podiatry practice and James in the world of software—our home is where we truly thrive. It is a place of stability, laughter, and the quiet company of our two cats. We have spent fifteen years building a foundation rooted in resilience and a shared sense of wonder that began when we first met while traveling through Europe.
