Hi, we are Chris and Angela, and we have always dreamed of starting a family of our own.

When Angela was 17, she was diagnosed with MRKH, a rare congenital condition in which her uterus did not develop. While it was devastating news, doctors reassured her that because she has healthy ovaries, it could still be possible to have a biological child through IVF and the help of a gestational carrier.

This year, after years of hoping and planning, we finally began our IVF journey. We were nervous but hopeful, and to our joy, Angela responded well to treatment. She produced healthy eggs, and we now have embryos waiting for their chance at life.

Now we are at the next chapter: we have found a gestational carrier who can help us bring our dream of becoming parents to reality!

Who We Are

Both of us are physical therapists. Helping people rebuild their strength, independence, and confidence every day. Chris works primarily with stroke patients, guiding them through the long process of recovery, while Angela provides care in patients’ homes, helping them regain mobility and return to the lives they love.

We’ve dedicated our lives to helping others heal and reach their goals, and now we’re asking for a bit of that same compassion and support as we work toward our own dream, becoming parents.

Why We Need Help

As beautiful as surrogacy is, it also comes with enormous financial challenges. Between IVF treatments, medical procedures, legal contracts, insurance, surrogate compensation, and related expenses, the total cost can reach $120,000–$150,000 or more.

We’ve been saving and contributing everything we can, but this is not a journey most couples can manage alone. Every dollar raised will go directly toward our surrogacy expenses, from medical and legal costs to ensuring that our surrogate is cared for and supported throughout the process.

How You Can Help

Your support, whether through a donation, sharing our story, or sending words of encouragement, brings us one step closer to holding our baby in our arms.

We’ve spent our careers helping others stand, walk, and find strength again. Now, we’re humbly asking for your help to take our own next step, toward the family we’ve always dreamed of.

With love and gratitude,

Chris & Angela
