Elliot Goude-Taillandier
Chief Fun Officer (CFO)
Elliot’s story is one of love, hope, and the extraordinary people who made his life possible. At the heart of his story are his two fathers, Romain and Alex, his stepdad Junior, and two remarkable women—an egg donor and Jessica, a gestational surrogate.
Romain and Alex dreamed of becoming parents and were guided by friends who had gone through surrogacy. Their journey began with finding an egg donor—a teacher with a generous spirit who gave them the foundation of their family. Though they never met her, they saw her kindness reflected in Elliot’s laughter and sparkling eyes.
Next, they met Jessica, a warm and compassionate woman who carried Elliot with love and care. She kept them connected to the pregnancy, sharing updates and milestones that made them feel deeply involved.
On a spring day, Elliot was born, surrounded by love. Romain and Alex held him for the first time, overwhelmed with gratitude for Jessica’s selflessness in making their dream a reality.
When Elliot turned one, Junior joined their lives, bringing his love and devotion as Elliot’s stepdad. Though he wasn’t there at the start, Junior became an integral part of Elliot’s life, blending seamlessly into the family with his nurturing care.
Together, Romain, Alex, and Junior created a home filled with love and laughter. They shared Elliot’s story with him, celebrating the egg donor’s gift, Jessica’s courage, and the family they built. Elliot grew up knowing his life was a testament to the power of love and generosity, proving that family is defined not by biology but by the hearts that come together to make it.
