Welcome to our family

Once upon a time
Born and raised in the Philippines, we lived a happy childhood in happy homes filled with love from our families
Hello Tinder stranger
In 2017, we met in a place where LGBTQ+ isn't accepted, but the love we nurtured was stronger than the odds we faced
Destiny was kind
We became each other's person and together, embraced a life grounded
on faith, dreams and inspiration
It's a "Yes"
At the 50th World Pride, we got engaged and shared our grandest expression of love in front thousands at the monumental Stonewall - thanks to Netlix, Queer Eye and Fab 5
Then "I do"
Before the world stopped in 2020, we eloped and started our "forever" as husbands, with big dreams of building a beautiful family
Fast forward to 3 years of a happy marriage, we've planted our roots in Massachusetts, USA and have been blessed with a handsome dog child, Primo
Happily ever after... today
One
with our community
We celebrate and advocate for LGBTQ+, BIPOC and healthcare workers through the book that we published, non-profits we support and ERGs we volunteer for
Happily
ever after... tomorrow
It's our ultimate dream to become dads and are now intended parents aspiring for an answered prayer through the surrogacy path
If only
The financial aspect is our biggest challenge as the surrogacy path costs a whopping $275K which we clearly don't have
This will cover egg donor, surrogate, IVF, insurance, medical, agency and legal fees for approximately 2 years
We need your love
With utmost humility, we knock on your loving hearts for financial help, grants, sponsorships or collaboration to support the beginning of our family's journey
