Next Steps

After we verbally confirmed our commitment to work together we needed to get started on the next steps. I had to call both of my OB's to request my pregnancy and delivery records to be faxed or mailed to Zara and also needed record of my latest Pap Results from 06/07. Unfortunately, doctor's offices seem to drag their feet quite a bit so even though I called 3 days ago, we are still waiting for the forms. Once Zara receives my records, she will then forward them to the Fertility Dr.- Dr. M to review and approve me as a good candidate.

In the meantime, I had to select an attorney which I did. I chose a woman located about 40 minutes from us and seemed extremely helpful and knowledgeable over the phone. R & S have already selected their attorney and in fact have an appointment with her on Monday to start up the contract.

Once Dr. M gives us the go ahead, I need to make an appointment for Al and I at the psychologist to do our testing there.

I believe that is it for now. We are just waiting for more to happen so we can move forward.

The worst thing is we have not been able to talk to R & S since our dinner on Monday. The agency rule is to wait until all contracts are signed before we develop too close of a relationship and then hope that nothing falls through. I hate not talking or emailing them. I feel like we started off so great on Monday night at dinner and I want to continue getting to know them more. It's killing me! Well, I never did say I was a patient person.

Hopefully things will progress quickly for this part so we can start talking to R & S again.
