Crystal Kelley always wanted children, and when she finally became a mother, she hoped to give the gift of life to others who weren't afforded the same fortune. She believed that the road to this wish was through surrogacy, but her well-intended plan quickly turned from a blessed partnership to one damaged by fear. No one could have foreseen the problems that would arise during the first few weeks of gestation. Heart defects, facial abnormalities, and a multitude of other complications soon forced the intended parents into a decision they never thought they'd have to make. They, too, had children and couldn't bear the thought of bringing a child into the world that would need the level of care this baby would require. With two children of her own, Crystal was unintentionally faced with one of life's greatest questions - to save the life of the unborn child she carried for another couple, or surrender to their wishes to terminate the baby they so deeply wanted. Crystal had to make a decision, and the path she took to save the life of the baby is one wrought with personal turmoil, uncertainty, and the threat of financial ruin. "Saving Stormie: The Baby S Story" is an intimate account of the true events leading up to Crystal's decision to become a surrogate and the challenges she was faced with as she embarked on the brave path of life for the child she carried.
