2010 is going to be a good year

So much happened last year that this year is bound to bring good news... So far I am walking into it with a good attitude, and much hope. As I told everyone in the last post we are going to be starting the surrogacy process in April. We have a family member that has been so wonderful to step up and offer us this dream of a lifetime. Now comes the hard part, trying to raise the money to do it. I feel horrible for asking donations and doing funraisers for something like this, when there are so many more deserving people then me, with way bigger problems. But.... I have wanted and tried for this for 7 years. Last year started off amazing, pregnant after all money was spent on IVF - FINALLY, found out pregnant with twins and then the world began to fall apart. I lost both within 6 months, and started right back where I was 7 years ago. There is a place on this page for donations, and I willl be sending out info on fundraisers as soon as we get word back from a couple locations. If anyone has ever gone throjugh surrogacy - I would love to hear your story... Maybe it will give me some hope. Happy New Year to everyone.

Starting the surrogacy process

Ok,so here we are. Trudging forward on this surrogacy process. We have been to the dr. and he said we look good to go and I have found the perfect surrogate, music to my ears. We started the counselors last night - which is the first step in this process. Next appt is end of Jan. In the meantime getting ready for all that is to come,we will be setting up some fundraisers and hope everyone will join the fun. More to come on that as we get word on what is available. Right now there is a fundraiser site being set up on giveforward.org. If anyone wants to spread the word I would be so appreciative. Thanks all and we will keep you updated on the progress and where we are. Thanks so much for all who has helped so far keep this dream alive. 2010 here we come!!!!!

Unbelievable News

Ok so last night we got the best news. A little angel stepped up and offered to be our surrogate. I cried and cried and of course excepted her offer. Now comes the fun part, the raising of funds. I am asking everyone and anyone out there if they have any fundraising ideas to get some money rolling in so we can start this process. I have waited 7 years for a baby and lost two in one year. This is our time, I think 2010 is going to be an amazing year, but a very expensive one. Please help if you can and rack your brain for ideas :-). There is also a paypal link on the blog for anyone who may want to give a donation.

Thanks so much
