It's actually happening now.

"Everything looks great. I'll get your profile set up and sent out to the intended parents and we'll get this all started."

I replied to two of the e-mails that I received on 03/29. One couple lives in Belgium, and the other in Toronto. Big difference! I talked with both couples yesterday and it was great. Since Toronto is only an hour and some from where I live the IPs there are coming to Waterloo to meet with me and my partner. I'll be Skyping with the IPs in Belgium again tomorrow.

This is all very exciting! It feels great that I'm finally making this happen.

I watched a few videos on YouTube the other night, from the perspective of the intended parents and their journies with infertility and thus surrogacy. Talk about tears! I know if I can make someone that happy and make them feel that blessed then I've done something right.

I don't have an official match yet, but once I do they'll let Sally, the coordinator of sorts, know and I'll be scheduled for my medical exams and psych assessments. I'm pretty confident about the mental stuff. The physical stuff, well we'll have to see. I'm healthy and had two healthy pregnancies, but it's still worrisome.

So I'm just crossing my fingers and praying that my body comes through for me. I would love this opportunity to make a family for someone.

Thank you for contacting us and thank you for submitting your application, it looks great! To get started with our program you need to register your own user account for access to our website. Before we can make your profile available we need to have a phone consult so I can detail how our program works and answer any questions and/or concerns you may have. Depending on how many questions you have the call can last from 10 minutes to an hour. Part of our screening is your ability to respond to emails and set up a date/time for the phone consult… if we do not hear back from you within 5-7days we will assume you have lost interest. We look forward to hearing from you!

My phone consultation is this evening around 9. I am so excited and nervous that it's actually happening now. Who knows how I'm going to be once I start seeing doctors!
