Finally Making Connections!

I can't believe it, I am finally talking to an agency that might actually get me connected to a couple!  After 2 weeks of emails with someone at an agency in Raleigh (which I found through surrogatemother.com) I am in the process as being set up as one of their surrogates.  The agency currently has 3 couples waiting to find a surrogate, hopefully one of them will be the right fit for us.
I have been filling out the surrogate mother paperwork this weeknd.  I am not sure what I expected when she told me she had some paperwork to fill out, but I did not expect the 17 pages I got.  They want to know everything about me, my family, pregnancies and beliefs.  I guess it makes sense as it is important the intended parents know exactly who is going to be carrying their child.  I have a few more of the trickier questions left to answer but I am hoping to get it faxed in tomorrow!
I am not sure how long the process will take from this initial paperwork to the actual IVF but I don't see it being a very quick process.  Hopefully I will learn more tomorrow after she gets my paperwork back!

Still waiting...

Wow, can't believe it has already been 2 months since I made the decision to begin this journey.  Unfortunately, not much has happened in that time.  I am still unsure of how to actually find that perfect couple that we can make into a family.

I have begun to slowly get the word out to friends in hopes that one of them will know of a couple in need of surrogate.  A few have said they might know someone, but so far noothing s serious.  I also joined a website, surrogatemother.com.  This is a website that gives hopeful surrogates and intended parents a place to chat and meet.  I have replied to a few people and even heard back from 2, but again, nothing serious happening yet.  I keep praying that I will hear from that one special couple so we can begin the process.

I am going to continue to get the word out and check the website, maybe I will find the perfect couple soon!
