Hey there, we're
Brad & Jack
We're looking for a surrogate to help us become dads.
If you're considering surrogacy — or just curious about who we are — we're glad you're here.
About us
We work together, run marathons together, and have a shared obsession with finding the city's best breakfast sandwich.
We lived in San Francisco for years before moving to Philadelphia to be closer to family — and we've spent the time since building the kind of life we want to bring a kid into.
Jack plans our adventures; Brad builds things with his hands. We're different enough to balance each other out, similar enough that we just work.
Why we're ready
We've both wanted this for a long time.
Brad's been dreaming about this since his babysitting days. Jack was raised by two moms and knows firsthand how good a nontraditional family can be.
We're ready. Really ready. And genuinely excited about who we'll be as parents.
We imagine raising a curious, creative kid who gets to experience Jack's encyclopedic knowledge of...well...everything alongside Brad's love of building, creating, and exploring imagination.
Working with us
We want to actually know you — not just work with you.
That means staying in touch throughout the pregnancy — attending key appointments (we'll travel to you for the important ones), checking in regularly, being there when you need us. We'd love to share voice recordings so the baby can hear us. And we'll be as present as you want us to be, in whatever way works for you.
After birth, we're open to whatever feels right. If we click and you want to stay in touch — updates, visits, pictures of the chaos — we'd love that. If you'd prefer some distance, we completely understand. This is your call as much as ours.
Where we're at
We're doing this independently, on purpose.
We decided against using an agency because we wanted to find someone ourselves and build a real connection from the start. We're working with Mainline Fertility in Philadelphia and have already consulted with a reproductive attorney to make sure you're protected and everything is done right.
We've selected an egg donor and we're creating embryos next month.
If you're interested
We'd love to hear from you.
We're open to working with someone anywhere in the continental US, whether you've been a surrogate before or this would be your first time. Our doctor does require that you're between 21-40 and have had at least one successful pregnancy and delivery — but beyond those medical guidelines, what matters most to us is finding someone we genuinely connect with. No pressure — just reach out if you're curious.
