Krystal, American Intended Parent in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA

Explain your reasons for wanting a surrogate/donor:

My fiancé and I cannot have children do to me having complications on my last pregnancy and I had no choice but to have a full hysterectomy. My children are from my previous marriage. Since I cannot have any more children I am looking for a surrogate mother to help (if possible) in making our dreams come true. My fiancé is looking to be the donor. That way he/she can be a part of one of us.

How would you best describe yourself(s):

I am engaged to a wonderful man.I have two sweet boys, ages 6 and 11 years old and a precious 8 year old daughter, who are (almost) my whole world.I love them like nothing else and being a mom is the most crazy-awesome job I’ve ever had.And by crazy-awesome, I mean that it’s both crazy and awesome.Motherhood is the best “job” I’ve ever had and I wouldn’t give it up for anything.I have a full time job at the hospital and currently I am a full time online student continuing my education for a Bachelors degree in Healthcare Management so that one day I can oversee a hospital or doctor's office.

Use this space to communicate a letter to potential Surrogates/Donors:

Dear Surrogate Mother, Hello! We are Krystal and Joe.It is hard to put "us" into 2 or 3 pages, but, well....here it goes... First we would like to say that if you’re reading this, it means that you are contemplating an extraordinary adventure, and that this first encounter may lead to one of the most significant events in our life and yours.Thank you for considering such a remarkable gift.Until we can meet and get to know each other directly, we hope that this brief introduction will give you some insight into who we are. Ours is a story of true love.About 17 years ago I moved next door to my soon to be husband.We dated for 4 years until I moved away for college and soon after our relationship drifted apart. A little over a year later I was rushed into a marriage by my parents and we had 3 beautiful children.I was raised to never give up in a marriage but I could not take the verbal and physical abuse no more.I decided to move back into the area and started talking to Joe again.One thing lead to another and it almost felt as if we had just picked up right where we left off.Today we are still unabashedly in love with each other and are engage to be married.The birth of my last child along with other issues lead the doctors to perform a total hysterectomy therefore having me unable to bare another child.Children are so precious.We want to experience a child together since this would be his first.We now seek a miracle with your help. Who are we? Joe is a full time mechanic who also does construction.He is 5ft 6in tall and weighs *** is bald and has blue eyes.He is an amazing cook and loves experimenting! He has a tendency to be quiet and is a very good listener, and incredibly loyal and loving.He is my husband and my best friend. Krystal is 5ft 2in., *** dark brown hair and hazel eyes.She is a little shy until she gets to know you.She has a wonderful sense of humor and is a true friend.She is a decent cook and a wonderful hostess.She is also a little OCD and loves things to be in their own place; very organized! She has a full time job at the hospital and is a full time online student continuing her education for a Bachelor degree in Healthcare Management.After graduation her goal is that one day she can oversee a hospital or doctor’s office.She is my wife, love of my life and my best friend. We have recently longed for a child.We would love to be parents and be given the opportunity to love and nurture a child together from the beginning of his/her life.Surrogacy is a wonderful alternative for us.We have done quite a lot of research on surrogacy, and we realize how incredibly precious a surrogate mother is.Some children are born not wanted by anyone; we feel this child will have a great strength in the knowledge of how VERY much wanted he/she is by all concerned.What a truly beautiful way to begin life! We hope we can share this pregnancy together and remain in contact after birth.We hope to have a warm and friendly relationship together with you and your family during the pregnancy.Hopefully we will be able to have several memorable times together.We want our child to know about you and how generous you are.Our child will be told of the incredible compassion and goodwill between two families that resulted in our child’s birth.This child will have a fun, loving home with two parents who love each other.We will deal with the good and the bad as it comes up.We’ll try not to spoil this child, but since we want the child so much there will probably be a little spoiling! We offer ...all the love we have, a secure family unit, a huge, loving and welcoming extended family, healthy and committed Mom and Dad, a secure financial situation and home, and unending love and respect for our Surrogate mother and her family.Without your help we will not have a family.You are giving more than just the "Gift of Life", as incredibly precious as that is in itself, you would also be in the truly unique position of bringing healing and a new beginning to hearts that we thought would stay broken forever. We hope and pray that you are out there somewhere.That you read our story and that you and your family find us to be "Just Right". Hoping to find you....... With all our gratitude, Krystal and Joe
