California Cutie Becomes Minnesota Munchkin!!

The next Tay sachs Cutie I'd like to introduce is:

Krystie Anna Karl-Steiger

Krystie is a beautiful little girl who underwent a potentially experimental treatment involving a stem cell transplant. She was admitted to the University of Minnesota Medical Center in Minneapolis on May 10th, 2007.





Krystie has 2 daddies: Bruce and his partner Rick. They had always wanted to have a child. Although, the process had been fairly challenging for them, they never gave up. After 3 years and 8 surrogacy attempts, they were blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Krystie Anna, born on 1/26/06.


Here they celebrate her 2nd Birthday on JANUARY 26, 2008!

Her daddy, Rick also celebrated his birthday!

Here is a pic of there new Minnesota tag!

Krystie & her daddies are originally from Rancho Mirage, California. Right now, Krystie is being treated in Minnesota. She has undergone a stem cell transplant at the University of Minnesota.

You can send them well wishes:
