Getting Closer to Becoming Mommy and Daddy to 4 Frozen Embryos

Today we heard from a clinic in Woodbury that would be willing to do the mock transfer and all the monitoring services other than the actual transfer which will be done in California. So with a verbal consent from the physician in California and the clinic in Woodbury, we told Embryos Alive (EA) that we are ready to proceed with moving forward with the embryo adoption! This case is a little unique in that EA needs to get the final consent from two families: the biological mom and dad from whom the embryos were created in 2000 and then the current "owners" (for lack of a better word) who adopted the remaining embryos after the biological parents had completed their family. The adoptive family has completed their family and now are donating the 4 remaining embryos back. Which, God willing, they will be coming into our family in a relatively short amount of time. Is this all mind boggling? I am in awe of how all this is weaving together and seeing God's hand work in it all. Am I a bit nervous? Yep. Do I have mixed feelings about starting all over with the baby stage when our girls are getting into such a fun and easy stage? Yep. Do I believe this is the path that God is desiring us to go down? Yep. Maybe it will result in more children and maybe it won't, but one thing I know is that in it all, God will be glorified.
