Meet Will & Chris 💕

Hi! We’re Will and Chris — a couple who met on Tinder (yes, it really worked!) and have been building a life full of love, laughter, and adventure ever since. Chris is a product designer at Tinder, so we always joke that fate — and maybe a tiny bit of algorithm hacking — brought us together. 

What bonded us from the start were our shared traditional values, which can be hard to find in both the gay community and in a big city like LA. Will’s small-town Southern charm (let’s be honest, that’s how he won Chris over!) and Chris’ big Italian family energy were the perfect match — and we’ve been building our future filled with laughter, support, and a whole lot of love ever since. 

Chris is definitely the introvert in our relationship. He loves drawing, cooking (especially Italian food), and all things design. On almost every Sunday, you’ll find him in the kitchen making homemade pasta — complete with a killer sauce, meatballs, and bolognese. It’s a way for him to unwind and share something meaningful with the people he loves. Will is the extrovert — a planner, a sports fan (Go Dawgs!), and someone always chasing the next adventure. Whether it’s hiking with friends or decorating for the holidays with meticulous joy, he brings heart and energy to everything he does. 

We’re different in all the ways that make us stronger. Where one of us seeks grounding, the other brings light. Where one of us dreams big, the other builds the path to get there. That balance has laid the foundation for the home we’ve created — one we’re so ready to fill with bedtime stories, laughter, and the joys of raising our little boy. 

Last year, we began our journey toward fatherhood knowing in our hearts that our family wasn’t complete yet (despite the love we have for our three orange cats: Stella, Meatball, and Pesto). We searched for the right egg donor — someone whose values and background felt like an extension of our own. It was a long process, but eventually we found her. After navigating delays, insurance setbacks, and a fair share of uncertainty, we fertilized our eggs. Out of ten, two made it to blastocyst, and one embryo tested normal. What felt discouraging at first quickly shifted into deep gratitude. We believe this one embryo is exactly who we’re meant to meet. 

We’ve made sacrifices to get here — including career changes to access surrogacy benefits through insurance. And now, we’re hoping to meet an incredible woman who will help us bring our child into the world. 

As a gay couple, we’ve also built a beautiful chosen family — a tight-knit circle of friends who are like siblings, aunties, and uncles to us. They’re excited to be part of this journey and will be an amazing village to help raise our child with love, guidance, and joy. 

We’re playful by nature, grounded in love, and more ready than ever to become dads. Thank you for considering being part of this extraordinary journey.
