My name is Krystal, I live with my amazing fiancé Nathan and our three kids Jazlynn, Jayvin and Ridge in Gilbert AZ. A little over 4 years ago I met Nathan through some mutual friends and long story short we began dating. After 3 months of dating I found out I was pregnant. We were very surprised, well I guess you can’t be THAT surprised but either way it wasn’t planned. Just when I came to terms with being pregnant, at 8weeks I found out I was having twins. In all honesty I couldn’t imagine why at 19 god would not just give me 1 baby but 2. And this confusion is what I believe unknowingly started my journey to surrogacy.
When I got pregnant with our youngest, Ridge who is now almost 9 months, I started thinking about when I had found out I was having twins. I just couldn’t get over the fact that I’m 22 and about to have 3 kids! Not to mention I got pregnant the first time every time. How unfair when there are so many couples and singles that will just never experience the joy I am blessed with every day of my life. So I started looking into being a surrogate. I did lots of research about the laws, the pros and cons and I talked to so many couples. I was very overwhelmed and I little put off I might add. There were couples who wanted no contact during the pregnancy, just wanted to pay you for your "services" and that be that. Then there were couples who knew down to a tee that they wanted blond hair blue eyes, had to be over 5’5 but under 5’9 and could not weigh more then 125lbs. I was astonished and almost lost hope in ever finding a couple that had the same views about this journey that I did.
In December of 08, 2 months after my baby boy was born, I was looking in craigslist.com in the adopt adds. I was really looking for a puppy to adopt but I had just typed adopt so it brought up all adds. I was browsing through when an add that read “waiting to adopt your baby or child” caught my eye. What really caught my eye was the child part cause that’s pretty rare. I opened it and saw this cute picture of a short pretty lady with this tall manly looking guy lol. After reading there add, that honestly wasn’t much different then others I had read, I decided to write and ask if they had ever considered surrogacy. To this day I don’t know why I did, I mean I was just looking for a puppy, but I did and now were on a beautiful journey that i would like to share with you.
