It's a GO!

I heard back from the agency regarding our psych evaluation.  Thankfully she said we passed.  By the end of this week, we can begin the matching process.  Yay!!  It's all coming along, slowly, but surely.

As a side note, I'm getting super anxious to tell more people.  Only a few friends, my mom and my two sisters know about this venture.  I know I shouldn't care what people think.  Their views and opinions are not going to change my mind.  This is something I've wanted to do for a few years. 

I'm extremely nervous to tell my dad.  He's a worrier and very sensitive like me (or I should say - I am sensitive like him).  I can just imagine what's going to go through his head once I tell him.  My mom and one sister are fully supportive, as are my friends.  The other sister hasn't said a whole lot about it, but she hasn't tried talking me out of it even though that is what she said she wanted to do.  I will tell more family once we are actually matched and beginning meds and such.  It all just can't come soon enough!

We are sane!

Our results came yesterday.  We are deemed sane!  Yay!  LOL!  Not that I thought it would say different, but it was nerve-wracking waiting for the results.  The doc said he sees absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be wonderful candidates.  The report was very interesting to read.  I've never had a "professional" evaluation done before.

The agency can now show my profile to prospective parents.  More waiting.  It seems that surrogacy is a lot of "hurry up and wait" from what I understand.  I just hope we meet a person/couple that is absolutely wonderful.

Oh, and another plus:  K turned 6 months yesterday.  I am now officially able to proceed with the IVF procedure...which will be awhile from now, I'm sure.

Waiting...

Well, we had to have a psychological evaluation done.  We had to go to Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  That was a week and a half ago.  The doctor said he'd send us a copy of our evaluation.  He said it would take about 3 days.  Every day I'd check the mail...nothing.  Then he calls and said he forgot to have us sign the information release form.  So he faxes it and we fax it back.  Okay, now I hope it comes any day now.  Hopefully the agency gets the copy and we get the go ahead.  I'm excited to get started with the whole process.  Hopefully we can find a wonderful match.  Okay, finishing up watching Tosh.O (luv him!) and heading to bed.  Night all!
