Kirstie & Brads Dream to be Parents

Dear Family and Friends,

I am trying to raise funds for Kirstie and Brad to make their dream come true to have their own little baby.

Kirstie was born with a condition MRKH (Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome). It affects about 1 in 4,500 women and is present from birth. MRKH affects the reproductive system, and the uterus is absent. In other words, women with MRKH are unable to carry their own children, but they have fully functioning ovaries so with the help of a surrogate they can still have their own 100% biological children.

While IVF is Medicare funded, IVF intended for Surrogacy is not Medicare funded.

So the costs involved for Lawyers, surrogacy counselling, Medical assessments, IVF Doctors, IVF treatment is up around $35000.

Kirstie has always wanted to have children ever since she was a little girl and when she found out about her condition it shattered her dreams.

Now she has meet her loving supportive partner Brad they want to start a family and I am going to help them by carrying their child.

I know some of you may think 'why would we spend that kind of money when there are others ways of becoming a parent'. It is because Kirstie has her own eggs that she wants to go this way. She and Brad want a baby that looks like them, shares there blood and carries there genes. Some people don't have this option but Kirstie does and this is why we are seeking your help.
And some might say why now she's young but to be a surrogate you have to be under a certain age so I only have another couple of years that I can do it, and the process can take up to two years. So there's not a lot of time to spare

We have started the process but need a little help along the way,

Please help make their dream come true by donating even if it just a small amount every cent counts. If any one wants to donate a different way please inbox myself or Kirstie for details.

Thank you for taking the time to read this

Katrina :) xx
