Crystal (CJ) met her IF’s via the Egg Donation Australia Forum in May 2018 and commenced the steps towards surrogacy in late 2018 through Melbourne IVF. Crystal achieved a successful pregnancy after only a few transfers and after a reasonably easy pregnancy, gave birth to a baby boy in December 2019.

She lives in Brisbane and her IFs are in Melbourne.
