It's Official!

Today is June 25th, the day our Adoption is final! We are the proud partents of two precious Embryos! It is a big step, but not the end of our journey. All of our paperwork has been sent in with our final payment to the Adoption Agency, now we need to decide what clinic we will be going to.
Choosing a fertility clinic is a fairly big deal to us because that is where we will go to have the embryo transfer done; they are the people that will handle our embryos in the crucial moments when they are thawed and transferred to my womb. Many fertility clinics do not view embryos as having any moral value. It is important to Steve and I that we find a clinic that will uphold the preciousness of the lives of our embryos and honor our decisions regarding their viability.
The next step for us will be to select a clinic that we would like to work with and then send them our embryo records. They will review the records and then let us know if they will accept them or not. When we find the right clinic, we will determine what their costs are, how many visits are necessary and what our travel costs will be. Then we will estimate how long it will take us to get the money together and plan to travel when we are ready. I am really hoping that we can have the transfer done by Christmas!
Your prayers are appreciated!
