From Our Executive Director
This Is Personal for Me
“I grew up in this field. My mom Joanne was Canada's first surrogate in 1987 and she founded CSO in 1992. I've been part of this world since I was 4 years old, was an egg donor five times, and now I lead CSO. When you join us, you're not a number. You're family.”~ Robyn Price, Executive Director
