The wait was so worth it....

All I can say is I was able to read the file (and see photos!) of the intended dad and OH MY.  It feels so right.  Now I know, the wait was so worth it.  It's been 6 months that I have been waiting for a match but I didn't want to settle for anything that didn't feel right.
(Those of you who missed a blog post or two, my last match didn't feel right to me as we got further into the process, so I decided to wait until the agency had a new match.)

So, a little about my match... A single guy who wants nothing more than to be a dad.  Reading his application it made me realize he really wants this.  When the agency first told me a bit about him, I was cautiously optimistic, but I was slightly worried all at the same time.  I was already matched with a single guy and it ended up not being at all the right match for me... would this happen again?  I can't say that those thoughts and concerns didn't consume me, but, as LeeAnn (from agency) went on to explain him and his story, I knew it was meant to be.  He was previously matched with a surrogate and unfortunately had some failed transfers and even lost twins at 11 weeks- so, he was told it would be best to find a new surrogate.  That totally breaks my heart that he has already had to endure such heartache in his process.  But, it is also a total eye opener.  After going thru all of that, some people would give up hope and decide to quit... but, he wants a child so badly & will keep fighting for his dream.  I hope I can be the right match for him!

We will call this match, "intended dad" or "ID" as I am writing about him in this blog.  ID sounds like a total sweetheart and I am anxious to meet him!  AND, he already has a flight scheduled for the end of August... eeekkkk!  We will be meeting in a month.

The agency has said that he is very ready for this.  Although this whole process is a waiting game, it sounds like this will move very quickly because of all he has already been thru.
What an amazing match.  I knew it would be worth it.

Smiling ear to ear,

Some news... :)

This is going to be short and sweet just as a quick update.  I got a call a few days ago that the agency had lined up a new potential match!  I'm pretty excited about it, especially because of how great of a match the agency thinks we are :)
I am not going to give any more details until my application has been approved by the intended parent and until I have approved their file.  I am trying not to get too excited yet until I know this is the right match, for us :) I am prepared to wait a little longer if it doesn't feel right.  Like I've said before, this is a major experience in my life and I want it to be the best it can be.
Have a good Sunday, I should have 'news' very soon since the agency says this match would move VERY quickly.  :)
