Update

Today Scott, Lindsay and I went to the surrogacy counselor. It was considered the first step in the surrogacy program. We were all given the okay to start the surrogacy process! Our next step is to meet with the doctor and discuss everything with him. Unfortunately, our appointment isn't until July. I knew this was going to be a long process, but man is it hard to be patient!

I am so excited that we were cleared by the counselor. I still am trying to hold back getting too excited... I have already been crushed once. 

We are having a bake sale June 22nd at TSC in Mount Vernon. I can't believe how many people have offered to help and bake stuff! It's amazing the support we already have and we have barely started this whole process. We once again want to thank our family, friends and everyone who has already been so kind to help us this far!

Let the project begin!

Hello all,
Scott and I have decided to share our journey to parenthood with our family and friends. We have learned we will not be able to have a healthy pregnancy due to my heart condition. Therefore, we have chosen alternative route to start our family. My cousin has offered to be our surrogate and go through this journey with us. Her offer is amazing and an unbelievable act of kindness.
As we begin the long road toward a surrogacy, I will continue to update here. I know we will have many bumps in the road, but please keep Scott and I in your thoughts and prayers. This is a very hard time in our life and we really do need as much support as we can get.
I truly believe I am suppose to be a mom someday. I know Scott is meant to be a dad. I can't wait until the day our baby arrives and I can become a mommy and Scott can be a daddy.

We will be raising money, as surrogacy is by no means affordable for us. As we arrange events we will post them here and on Facebook. All are welcome to participate!

Thank you to all our wonderful family, friends and supporters out there! We truly appreciate each and everyone of you!
