Psych evaluation

Yesterday Adam and I had an hour long psychological and clinical evaluation with a psychologist via Skype. She asked some very good questions that left me thinking about things I hadn't thought about much. Mostly like what kind of involvement do I want after the child is born. Really it comes down to whatever the intended parents want! 

Today I had lunch with a lady I had met on our community fbook page. I had asked if anyone was a surrogate and would be willing to speak with me. She answered a few questions I had and really it was just great to hear her story! She gave me some advice as far as dealing with unsupportive people. 'Im very thankful for her taking the time to meet with me and share her experiences! She is a second time surrogate right now. 

Now I wait... Till I hear from the agency and till they tell me the next step in this process!

Things are moving along...

I've received a few e-mails after the Skype interview and things seem to be moving along nice and quick. I am thankful for technology in that I can scan/email forms back right away, making it very easy for the agency to acquire the necessary forms without waiting for snail mail. I love the pace this is going.

Tomorrow Adam and I have a psychological and clinical evaluation with a psychologist via Skype. I'm looking forward to it! I believe she's meeting with us to make sure we're ready for this and we're doing it for the right reason! Looking forward to it!

We already had our background checks done and I believe they've already received all of my medical records. 

I told a dear friend the exciting news and she wonderfully offered to watch the kids for Adam and I when I have to go to California! I wasn't expecting that at all and was blown away with her kindness. Thank you Anneke!!! 

I have told some friends what I plan on doing and most everyone is very excited. There are some that don't get it, don't understand my desire to do it, or just plain think it's crazy. I am dealing with it great. I'm very excited to do this and I know I have a lot of support from many people! :)
