✨ Meet Sarine & Sameer ✨

We are a medical couple who met in school over a decade ago, spent four years in a long-distance relationship thanks to residency (bless FaceTime and frequent flyer miles), and finally started building our life together in Texas just in time to spend the pandemic indoors. Like everyone else, we figured out how to make it work, with love, and flexibility. Our biggest COVID achievement: getting married by a Chaplain who worked in Sameer’s hospital that married us in our living room while our families watched over Zoom.  

These days, our life feels full in so many ways. I’m an Ob/Gyn with a flexible schedule, and Sameer is a pediatric intensivist and nephrologist who splits his time between the hospital and research. But please don’t worry, we are not looking to add to your list of doctors, we just want to be parents and part of your support team throughout this process. We spend almost all evenings together, which we treasure, and after some career shifts, we’ve found a rhythm that feels like us. 

We bought our first home two years ago and began dreaming of what would eventually become the nursery. Our journey to grow our family hasn’t been easy. There have been a lot of hurdles and setbacks. And honestly, working with children and families every day without being able to complete our own has been difficult. But our love for one another continues to grow and we remain hopeful. And that’s where we need your help.  

We love to cook, especially dishes from our Armenian and Indian backgrounds. We also love games (Catan, Mario Kart, Scrabble), afternoon coffee experiments, Friday night takeout, and watching the Great British Baking Show, Survivor, and Abbott Elementary together. We LOVE our life together and now, more than anything, we want to add a sweet little one to our home. 

We’re so ready to be parents. We just need one extraordinary person to help us get there. Thank you for being the kind of person who considers helping a family like ours.

✨ Meet Greg & Kelsey ✨

Greg and Kelsey have always known they wanted to grow their family. But early on, they also knew that path would look different. Kelsey was born without a uterus, so surrogacy has always been their only option for having a biological child. What might have felt overwhelming to some became, for them, a hopeful and intentional journey. . . one they’ve approached with love, courage, and deep gratitude for the women who make it possible. Now, with a strong foundation of love, a supportive community, and plenty of laughs to go around, they’re ready to become parents. They’re just missing one incredible person to help them get there. 

Both of these hopeful parents are helpers by nature. Greg is a medical physician and Kelsey is an oncology nurse practitioner. Their jobs are meaningful, but also flexible enough to allow them to be present and hands-on as first-time parents. Kelsey and Greg are a couple who find joy in the little things. They take bike rides around the neighborhood, binge-watch Bravo in the evenings, and enjoy cooking dinner to the soundtrack of Frank Sinatra. From Kelsey’s love of Harry Potter marathons to Greg’s love for Jurassic Park (or really anything with a John Williams musical score), this couple balances each other in all the right ways. . They’re the kind of couple who make even the ordinary feel special, and they genuinely want to share this next chapter with someone who feels the same. 
To be candid, they’re not looking for a transaction. They’re looking for a connection.

“We’d love to have an open and warm relationship with our surrogate. Staying in regular contact during the pregnancy, whether that’s through texts, phone calls, or attending appointments (if local), would mean a lot to us. We want to support you however you’re comfortable. More than anything, we hope this journey feels like a partnership built on trust, respect, and mutual care. We want our surrogate to know that we see this journey as a true partnership, and we’re grateful beyond words for the incredible role she will play in helping us become a family.”
