About
Last updated on Jun 13, 2026 02:29 PM
Her Helping Habit is Canada's leading known donor and relationship-based family-building agency, helping intended parents, donors, and surrogates create families through transparency, connection, and compassion.
We specialize in known egg donation, surrogacy, and embryo donation, supporting clients across Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Unlike traditional anonymous programs, we believe children benefit from understanding their origins and having the opportunity for meaningful, age-appropriate connections with the people who helped bring them into the world.
Our boutique approach combines personalized matching, comprehensive education, and hands-on case management to guide clients through every stage of their journey. We work closely with fertility clinics, legal professionals, and mental health providers to ensure an ethical, supported, and seamless experience for all parties involved.
At Her Helping Habit, we don't just help create families, we help build lifelong relationships rooted in openness, trust, and respect.
