I got an email the other day, actually it was yesterday.
BACK STORY
I sent in my applications in November/December 2010. I had phone interviews. I was told that I would be "hard to match", and hadn't heard anything since. I thought the agencies had "given up" on me. I am older, I do not want to work with "same sex" couples and I will not terminate unless I am dieing. I thought that the agencies felt "three strikes" I was out.
I started reaching out through an online community. I started talking to two different families, at different times. The first one ended in them struggling with surrogacy. The second family, after the first ended, I found them to already have 8 children and then the IF's health caused that journey to stall/end. That , independent-online search, obviously did not work for me. I am so happy that it does work for others.
I decided after TWO families "misleadings/omissions" I needed to have someone else help me look and "protect" me. I reached to the lawyer that facilitated my first journey, they were polite. I contacted the RE's office, they referred me to another local lawyer that works with surrogacy, adoption, donor,... This law office is amazing. They contacted me by email, phone and we have even had lunch together. The two women I met are so encouraging and kind. They encouraged me that I will be "matchable" it just may take a few months. That was last Wednesday June 8, 2011.
TIME NOW (THIS WEEK TO TODAY) (Monday June 13 and today June 14, 2010)
My mind is spinning. I know this is early.
Monday I got an email from one of the agencies I had sent in an application to, and had a phone interview with. Someone that I felt had "given up" on me, was reaching out to me. We played email tag and phone tag. I PRAYED and PRAYED. I spoke to God about His humor and timing. [This agency works with international couples, I mentioned (to GOD) that Germany or Ireland would be "cool".] I got another email this morning informing me that the IP coordinator for this agency had some PIP's (potential intended parents)in mind and was wondering if I would be interested in them looking at my profile. I said "yes I am very interested, by the way may I ask where they are located?". They are located in Germany.
God NEVER ceases to amaze me. HE is the Beginning and the End, my Creator, my Lord, my King, my Supplier, my Source, my Everything...
