Embryo Adoption Update
>> Saturday, May 19, 2012
I am feeling a little overwhelmed and a lot excited.
Got our embryo adoption paperwork in the mail today.
I've filled everything out, we've both signed where we needed to, need to get ink so we can print a copy of our home study, need to get one form notarized, need to print out 3 pictures of us, copy my infertility medical records, and send it all off.
That's it.
I get nervous when paperwork and signatures are involved. Yet I can't believe how simple the application is so far. It's nice that I got to do most of it online.
I really hope we can do the DeFET in October. It's possible because we started this process at the beginning of May. November is too crazy of a month with Kumquat coming, and December is crazy because of my family staying with us and since it's Christmas and everything. Since we have a home study, it may only take 6 months. The one hang up is that there are only a certain number of openings at the clinic for embryo adoption because they are a regular fertility clinic. But at least we don't have to wait for embryos to be available. This is the one place that has more embryos than couples adopting. The nice thing is that for the DeFET, we only need to be in Knoxville for 3 days total, so December is doable.
I hope to get all of the forms and such from our end in the mail to NEDC on Tuesday so we can move forward as quickly as possible on our end.
I think I got all of the paperwork in order for WAMC to send my local clinic my HSG films in time for my June 1 appointment. Glad I called and checked because I ended up having to get the manger of the records department at the clinic involved as my release got lost on some desk. She found it, though, and got it faxed out. I'm going to call WAMC on Monday to make sure they got the release and will get the films in the mail ASAP. It would be nice to have the surgery in early July so I can recover before Kumquat joins us.
Things are moving forward pretty quickly as it is. I can't complain at all. But I will be relieved when our family building days are behind us and we have a bustling house full of insanity. I would much rather work on raising my kids versus planning how to get them here.
Oh, there is another update on the adoption blog. :)
