You're probably here because you've heard about my surrogacy journey. First off, welcome! This was a very big decision that my husband and I made and we're so excited about it.
It all started when I had contacted the agency roughly a little over a year ago. In the back of my mind I never really thought it would actually happen, I wanted to do it but I think I just thought that I wouldn't meet the requirements or something would come up and I just wouldn't do it. So I filled out all the paperwork, sent it in and didn't really expect to hear anything right away. Well I was way off...the agency contacted me pretty quickly and did a short phone interview, my thoughts on surrogacy and my expectations about the process. I was on board from the beginning but then both of my siblings were engaged within a month of each other and I was asked to be in both weddings. So I decided to put the surrogacy process on hold until the weddings were over and the agency was more than understanding and said they would contact me after January 2014.
A few weeks after the last wedding, I heard back from the agency. They had found intended parents (IP's) and forwarded me their profile. I took a look, read about them, read her letter she wrote explaining why they were seeking a surrogate and then had my husband look it over as well. As soon as we read about them we felt they were a perfect match. We prayed about it and really felt like God had arranged all of this.
I contacted the agency and they then set up a meeting. We met them and instantly liked them a lot. I remember walking out and my husband saying "I really like them, I know it was only a couple hours of meeting them, but they seem great." I agreed. :)
Since then, the past few months I've been doing all of the medical testing and have officially been cleared! WOOHOO! Now is when the contracts will be drawn up and the legal stuff will all be put together. The fertility doctor is looking at a July transfer. We can't wait!
So I hope you come back again as I update on our journey and all the many blessings God will bring us through this process. We are so thrilled and excited that everything has come together and worked out the way he has planned :)
And...bear with me...I'm new at this blogging thing and hope as time goes by, I get better at it!
