Jackie has been involved with children for many years. Jackie herself is a married mother of four beautiful children, three girls and one boy, ranging in ages from six to 16.
Outside of her own children, Jackie has been an egg donor on multiple occasions, and has been a gestational surrogate for two sets of twins.
When asked about her beginnings into surrogacy, she credits television for giving her the inspiration.
“Back in 2004, I was watching a television program, when I saw a woman who was struggling with infertility…and it got me thinking about helping someone.”
Since then Jackie has developed a passion for surrogacy and egg donation, and the impact it can have on families who are unable to have children on their own.
Jackie’s passion to help people has been a staple her entire life. She has studied Personal Support Worker and Maternal Support Practitioner and has always been involved with helping people in some way. Her dedication, ambition and selflessness have led to many successes in her life, both personally and professionally.
Outside of the office, Jackie loves to spend time her friends and family and of course, her children. She and her husband enjoy amusement parks and family gatherings, and when the day winds down, Jackie also has a passion for genealogy and 16th Century literature
Becky is a stay at home dance/hockey mom with two kids who has been running her own home daycare for 17 years. She has been a surrogate once (delivered a baby boy June 2018) and is embarking on journey number two.
If Becky could tell you one thing about being a surrogate, she would tell you it changed her life. It opened her eyes to a whole new life. Seeing the look on her intended parents face when they hold their newborn baby for the first time is priceless.
In Becky’s spare time, she enjoys spending time with family whether it be camping, just sitting talking or road tripping.
She also likes to have some quiet time with a good book and a cup of tea!
Hi, I’m Ashley!
I’m a mom of three, surromama of two, CEO of No Bare Bums Niagara – a nonprofit organization who help families in need with diapers, wipes, formula and other baby care essentials, as well as a Salon owner as a certified SugarBrig Practitioner.
Surrogacy was introduced to me by a good friend of mine who, at the time, was carrying for a heterosexual couple. I thought to myself – what a selfless thing to do! I am extremely blessed with my three children who are happy and healthy and had good pregnancies, so why not do it for other families who are struggling with infertility. And the rest is history…
I’ve worked with other agencies in the past but never did I receive a warm welcome like OSO gave me. Jackie and Becky are two peas in a pod, their drive, dedication and commitment to OSO actually felt like family. My decision to join them wasn’t even a question!
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my children going on adventures, volunteering myself within community-based activities/events, I’m a big bingo fanatic, and love winding down to a yoga program at home from time to time.
Surrogacy is a huge passion of mine, I’d love to share my journeys and be able to walk through yours with you.
I’m Candice, mom to 9 amazing humans, partner of Jeff and Nana to 6 beautiful grand babies. My background is in social work, and I’m also a certified birth Doula.
For as long as I can remember, being a surrogate was a dream I had, and in February of 2013, I brought a baby boy earth side for his parents. Being a surrogate is a blessing that can’t be explained. I’m excited to be able to help Intended Parents navigate the journey to build their family in a supported and safe way. Ontario Surrogacy Online is that space, and I’m looking forward to helping create families
