Happy Family Update: Ryan & Cassie have been matched! 🎉

Hi—we’re Ryan and Cassie, and writing this is harder than it looks! We’re a cozy, book-loving, pizza-making couple from Colorado, dreaming of growing our family and we’re incredibly thankful that you’re even reading this. 

Cassie can’t carry a pregnancy due to a uterine surgery that removed more than 30 pounds of fibroids and cysts. That was a painful and emotional time—but we’re surrounded by love—our parents, siblings, and a core group of friends are all supporting us as we chase our dream through surrogacy. 

We’d love to have a close, honest, and warm relationship with our Surrogate. If you’re nearby in Colorado, we’d be thrilled, but we’re open to traveling because finding the right match matters. We’re looking for someone who would only consider termination in the most extreme medical situations—never for reasons like intellectual disability. 

Ryan is a chemical engineer working on big energy projects. Cassie is a pediatric occupational therapist assistant who adores her work with kids and plans to stay home full-time in the early years. We both love biking, cooking (homemade pizza, anyone?), and reading sci-fi and fantasy. 

We’re also big fans of Japan (yes, we fed the deer in Nara!), and love evenings on the porch watching hummingbirds, or playing board games over dinner. 

We want our child to grow up in a home filled with laughter, books, garden blooms, and the occasional wild game night. If you’re someone who values closeness, kindness, and maybe even a good sci-fi novel—we’d love to meet you.

Thank you for considering this journey. It means the world to us.
