As many of you know. We have been working on having a Gestational Carrier "carry" our child. What some of you may not know is that we have found one. One who I have known my entire life. One who is as close to Di and I as any one. And one who we trust with our own lives...or child's life for that matter. My wonderful sister Gail! let that sync in for a few minutes....... Crazy huh?? Any one think "icky"?? (well I did for a little while)
Gail is in Dallas as we speak. Probably hanging out at the house with Di getting ready for our 2nd (we tried a couple months ago but didn't have any luck) procedure. They are probably about to leave for the hospital any minute. I will leave work about noon. As many people know, Doctors our on their own time so my guess is, if they say be there between 11:30 and noon, that the Doc will stroll in around 12:45/1pm.. It just works that way.
I want to take this opportunity to thank my sister and her husband Mark. They are making a HUGE sacrifice out of pure kindness. Not many people would choose to do this. Words can not describe the love and respect Di and I have for them and their family. I will be forever indebted to them. To say this was an easy choice or any easy decision would sell them short. How does someone decide that they WANT to do something like this?...what motivates them? Why?? No other reason then love. Love for me...love for Di....love for themselves and our whole family..There is no other way to describe it...
If you know me, you know that I am not a religious man. I believe in many things..I believe in the human spirit. I believe in doing good by all. I believe in helping when the opportunity presents itself. I believe that there IS power in doing right. I am a spiritual person. None of these beliefs prepared me for the moment it was decided that Gail would be THE ONE. That my friends is God's work. So thank you God..Thank you for blessing me and my family. Oh. And THANK YOU GAIL. I love you.

That's absolutely wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGood people come from good people.
Not "icky" at all. SO GENEROUS and wonderful of Gail. I will be thinking of you guys and praying that all goes well today.
ReplyDeleteSo does this mean I will see you guys at church on Sundays now? ;)
So happy for you all & will keep you in our prayers. We went thru infertility for years & had a good friend offer to surrogate for us. We chose the road to adoption, or rather it chose us. Through God's blessing our Son, Hunter Chance was born 3/18/09 & has been ours since day one. We are planning to adopt a little sis here in the next year or two. Keep faith & you will have your little one in your arms before you know it! :)
