Their story

We are Andrew and Crystal and we have been waiting to be parents for many years! Early in our marriage, we found out that we were part of the 1 in 9. That is that 1 in every 9 couples faces some form of infertility. We were heartbroken to learn that IVF would be our only option to have biological children, but it has also made us stronger! We have taken the past few years to grow as individuals and within our marriage. Together we’ve built a home filled with love, support, continued learning, and friendly conversations. Additionally, Andrew completed his masters and teaching certificate to begin his career as a public school teacher. Crystal has been working on developing her leadership skills and took a position with an online tutoring. With both of us working in education, there aren’t many extra funds to help us on our journey to parenthood. Most of all, we would love your love and support in our journey! If you can give even a few dollars for monetary support, that would be a bonus. Thank you for joining us in this journey!

About to get started!

I can\'t believe we are finally closing in on getting started on our journey to parenthood! We have been steadily working on the steps to get to this point. Back in May, we finally had our initial consultation with the fertility clinic. This set us on the path of doing some testing to make sure all numbers and hormones and everything were in check. And just as we received encouraging news, Crystal was laid off from her job. So we took the summer to travel and enjoy family. Now that we have gotten all the insurance hoops jumped through, we can finally begin! Stay tuned for more updates as we officially begin our journey to becoming parents!
