Y...Thank you so much -- I would never Pshhhttt you! You know strong, too. It's just so crappy that people who want motherhood so badly have to be put through such a gauntlet to get there, hopefully. The frozen embryos are such a weird situation in of themselves... we won't be parents to them but we will be the ones who gave them a chance to be and then this other couple will get to have their family (if they pick us) as a result of the embryos we created with two different donors for each set, and so it's a major team effort to bring a child (hopefully) into the world. Team efforts all the way around, actually.

I forget that "normal" people don't have these crazy ethical dilemmas as part of regular everyday life... It IS a scary place to be, but also sort of hopeful. I hope we get news soon, there's only so much limbo a body can take at once.

If it's a yes, well then that opens a whole other box of goodies, doesn't it? (But it would be nice to get a yes so early relatively in the process.)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-18769058332392956952016-06-27T06:24:19.372-07:002016-06-27T06:24:19.372-07:00You are so incredibly strong.

I continue to be inspired by you, your blog, and your strength, and I'm sure as you read that you're muttering to yourself, "Pshtt, she has no idea". But I see your heart and soul and I pray for you all the time in hopes you get your chance at motherhood.
