Our First Meeting

Still asking myself if yesterday really happened.

We braved the first major snow storm of the year to meet the surrogate and her husband for the first time. What would normally take 30-40 minutes took us an hour and a half. Highways were shutdown, there were spin outs and accidents everywhere, but that didn't stop us. We drove white knuckle at 24 mph and eventually got there.

We had already read her profile that was provided by the surrogacy agency, she read ours. We had talked on the phone about a week and a half ago and meeting her and her husband in person just solidified what  we already knew, she was the one. We are still pinching ourselves that we found someone so perfect, so quickly. There is no doubt in my mind that she will love and take care of our baby for the next nine months, the same way I would have, if I could. And no doubt that through it all, she will have the love and support of her husband, which was just as important to us as finding the right carrier.

At a time when there is so much negativity in the world that you are constantly having to censor what you read and listen to because quite frankly it's all too much, it's reassuring to know that there are still good...still really good people in this world.

So this is it. It's really happening. We are having a baby! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
