It has been a long time since my last post. That is because we have kind of been in a holding pattern due to the holidays and schedules being a bit out of the ordinary!
On January 13th, exactly one month after my last post, we received the first copy of our contract! The weekend was spent going over it in detail, making notes about questions we had, and preparing for our meeting with our attorney.
The following Tuesday, we met with our attorney via a conference call. Dan and I were able to voice our concerns and questions and she also informed us of changes she wanted to make. (She is very well versed in surrogacy contracts) We signed off on that copy and it went back to our Intended Parents lawyers. The process then repeated!
Today, 10 days after starting the process, we received the final copy via email! Next step was to sign the document and get it back to our attorney. We asked our wonderful neighbors, Ben and Lucinda, to come be our witnesses to sign as they are a "neutral party." Thanks to them, we were able to sign and return it the same day!
Once everything is signed by us and the IP's, the lawyers will forward the documents onto our agency who will then give the OKAY to the fertility clinic. I am crossing my fingers that I hear from the fertility clinic this week about a transfer calendar/schedule!
So here's to 2017 and the huge life accomplishments we plan on making! Please join me in praying for a quick turn around time so that we can help make these parents dreams come true!
Hopefully, the next update will come soon! :)
