You're not alone

My partner and I are going through the surrogacy process too. We started in November, were matched with our surrogate in January and picked our egg donor in February. Legal documentation and all of the rest of the process seemed to drag on, but we just came back from our embryo transfer. We have to wait to see if we're pregnant until next week. There's a low probability as the doctor told us that the embryos were of poor quality. We're hopeful. We have been waiting for so long to become parents that at times I feel like I'm about ready to burst with anticipation. Just know that you're not alone and from where I'm standing, what you're feeling is normal. Best of luck! -Ed

I, too, started with adoption two years ago and recently decided to have my own child via surrogacy. I was trying to adopt a toddler but eventually the process was turning into a saga. My attorney encouraged me to pursue surrogacy and referred me to a really great agency in Orlando. That was last fall and today begins the 7th week of our pregnancy. So keep the faith. Now that I am at this point with the baby due next January, I feel sort of useless. I speak to my baby's surromom almost every day and I have her put the phone beneath her belly and I speak to my baby. Soon you will be doing the same, thinking of names, decorating the baby's room and waiting. Best of luck. jody
