Another week

After about five days I was becoming anxious again and had not heard anything from the four women I've talked to at our agency thus far - so I emailed all four of them and within an hour, two wrote back. They updated us with a lot of details and I felt some relief.

We got some more information about our possible match. After close review, the IF decided against us since we live in the same town one of them grew up in! Can you imagine that? I thought that might be a benefit since the IF would've had some local support throughout my surrogacy, but I respect their wishes since I don't know the "whole" story.

So, where does that leave us now? Back in the hands of our first case worker, K. After our first try with the IF from Sweden she looked at an IF from Israel. They're waiting on the legal match - whether or not Israel will match with our state. We'll see.

I know there's a family just right for me and the agency I am with - is well known for making the "best" matches!!! It's something definitely worth waiting for - it's just hard to wait!
