Hamish and Joel
Meet Hamish and Joel. They live in Melbourne, Australia, where Hamish works as an Osteopath and Joel as a Senior Buyer/Planner. They met on Tinder and just got married in 2022!
"We are looking forward to the whole journey to completing our family. From finding out our surrogate is pregnant, the first scans to the birth and meeting our son or daughter. We are looking forward to sharing our journey with our family, especially our parents. When our families found out that we were gay they thought we would never have children. Now that they know it's possible and are aware of the path we are on, they are so excited. We can't imagine how excited they will be when the day comes for them to fly to Canada and meet our child. Most of all we can't wait to make our family complete and meet our son/daughter!"
