Intro.

Most of you who are reading my blog know the road that John and I have been down to build our family. We were very blessed on July 25, 2006 with our son Johnny. Since that day we have been throwing around ideas about what journey our family would go on to build our family even bigger. Surrogacy has always been something that we have talked about. I have been doing research on Surrogacy for sometime now and we have decided that is the road that we will take.

That being said; we started talking to a Surrogate mom a little over a week ago and really hit it off from the start. I have to say that I am very excited about this journey, after talking with her on the phone and through email for around a week now. I had the pleasure of meeting with R (will give her name once we are contracted with her) yesterday afternoon and it really brought the whole situation closer to my heart! R and I have so much in common, we have some of the same thoughts and enjoy a lot of the same things. We have done lots of pre planning and have talked about everything that is involved with this journey and have discussed all the options and which roads we will take. I am very excited and overwhelmed all at once. When we started talking about building our family through surrogacy one of the issues that we were having is that I wanted to be very involved with the doctors appt. and wanted to live close enough that we could go get coffee (R and I both only drink French Vanilla Coffee) on Saturday morning if we wanted to, and since we discovered that R only lives 5 minutes from our office and about 30 minutes from our house we will definitely be able to do all this stuff together.

We are going to get both of our families together on Saturday for our official meeting. That meeting has been scheduled for around a week now but R and I were to excited to wait for Saturday so we decided to meet yesterday. I am so ready for the day when I can tell everyone that we are officially matched and tell you more about her. Once we match and sign our contract we will be able to take the next steps toward building our family. I am so excited that one day soon I will "officially" be able to call R our Surrogate mom!!!

I will be sure to keep everyone updated on our journey!!!
