I'm writing this blog to help people who are either considering being a surrogate or using one. I hope that it shines some light on the process and the feelings that are involved. I see pregnancy, birth and parenting as such a beautiful thing and I am happy I get to share in this experience.

First visit to the clinic
Yesterday I got back from my consultation with the clinic in Vancouver that will be orchestrating this whole thing. The outlook is very positive. On paper it looks like we are all prime candidates. We are all still in our twenty's so that should mean that everything is young and ready to function as it's supposed to. It looks like the procedure to harvest the eggs may be more difficult and invasive than we had hoped, but the good news is that they can do it! We got a list of all the steps that we are going to need to take once we decide to start the process. Our goal is to do the embryo transfer sometime in December. It really hit me that it's coming fast!!! We are already well into August! I am very excited to begin.
