well as you ladies know .. it has been a roller coaster ride. I thought it would be nice to kind of make "Journal" about our experiences on the way. As you know we were matched. Then it fell through. Again the match was on again. Well as it turns out our lawyers said nada!. So our search was on again. I will tell you.. its a very emotional roller coaster ride. You really go through a lot of emotions. Depression becomes your close friend at times. Well we prayed about it. And asked the Lord to send the right one. And it looks as though its going to work this time. A surrogate contacted me who is only 1 1/2 hours away from us! I know the Lord is in this one. The first lawyer I called in her town about representing her does surrogacy. And will represent her for 50.00. Yes you heard that right 50.00. I almost fell out of my chair with this one. <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/ooo.gif" alt="" /> . So hubby goes this week for his tests.. And we should be signing contracts in a few weeks. She wants to do January insems. But I think it will probably be Febuary. Its amazing how well things go when its all right. Lenore has been a fantastic support system for me. Her and I had not talked in quite a while. So I emailed her. She was there during the highs and the lows. She picked up like we had never stopped talking daily. She is fantastic! Well I wanted to update you. If this falls through for some reason I will let you know.. or give you good updates <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> . The hardest part for me was talking to so many surrogates. I found out it is about normal to go through atleast 20 before you get to the right one. This is definetly not for the weak at heart. <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" /> . I licked my wounds many times.. Lenore can vouche for that <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" /> . I am also right at 3 months on the protocol. My breasts really kill me. If I roll over at night they wake me up. But this is all good. Hopefully I will have a full supply for our little one. I fully expect to start pumping about 3 to 4 months before the baby is due. And if I respond well to the pump and have plenty of milk. I will donate it out with my donation program. So I have it all planned out. <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif" alt="" /> . Hope the bubble doesn't burst again. But if it does. Its part of the trade of surrogacy. I will pick up and go on again. So thats where we are right now. Let you know more if its good or bad.
hugs to all
Nona

Well we met our surrogate saturday. She is so funny. Actually she is mouthy like me <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/ooo.gif" alt="" /> . We had fantastic time. We met her husband and daughter as well. Things are looking great. We go to the lawyer thurdsay for the contracts.. and hope to start inseminations Febuary. And a bit of more news. We have been told about baby to adopt. The birth mother asked for us to adopt it. So IF the adoption works as well. My babies will be 3 to 4 months apart. The adoptive one being born first. I wanted to give an update.. I have been so busy with all of this!
Hugs to all Nona

Hi Nona,

I've got fingers, toes, and everything else crossed. Thinking sticky thoughts and praying for a positive pregnancy test in 2 weeks. Wishing you the best of luck with all my heart.
