MY PARENTS CHOSE THIS NAME BECAUSE: Mom's friends came up with my first name and Dad gave it the green light. I share my middle name with my Aunt Kristie. They say my name suits me perfectly.
PARENTS' WISH OR ADVICE: When the doors surrounding you all close, go in through a window!
SOMETHING SPECIAL: Gwen's aunt, Kristie, gave us a second chance at having a family by serving as our gestational carrier. We are extremely grateful to her, her family and the numerous medical professionals who helped us in our journey.
