Today we heard that a new donor family is viewing our profile. Actually, they have had it since Tuesday the 27th and have until this Saturday to decide if we are the family for their 9 blasts. We are so thankful that our Snowflakes coordinator is doing an awesome job trying to rematch us quickly. If the family declines our profile or if they don't let our coordinator know by Saturday she will send us out to a new family for consideration. We are trusting God to give us just the right match for us. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement as we dealt with the disappointment of our failed first match. We feel your prayers and my heart has been much lighter in the last few days. Hope is good.
UPDATE - Sat. May 8th
We didn't hear anything this week from our Snowflakes coordinator which means that she didn't hear from the donor family and today was their deadline. We will call on Monday to find out exactly what is going on but most likely we will be sent out to another donor family on Monday.
UPDATE - Mon. May 10th
No news from Snowflakes today. We called our coordinator but did not get a return call. She must be hosting an event or seminar today. Maybe news tomorrow.
UPDATE - Tue. May 11th
We heard that our coordinator called and emailed the donor family that has our profile today. She has not heard from them. We will wait until Thursday. If she doesn't hear from them by then our profile will be sent out to another family.
UPDATE - Thur. May 13th
Well I called Snowflakes today and our coordinator still had not heard from the family that has our profile. She gave them a call and the family is on a trip. There was a lot of noise and the conversation basically went like this, "Hi M-----, we have been out of town and will be back tomorrow. I will call you tomorrow (Friday) about our decision." M answers, "I don't work on Fridays so give me a call on Saturday." So guess what everybody??? We will wait until Saturday to hear if this family has chosen us or not. Not to be pessimistic but I am thinking that they will say "no thanks" to us. Who waits to tell good news? How hard is it to say, "We've been out of town but we like the family and I will give you more details on Saturday?" People don't postpone good news they only wait to tell bad news. So for the first time in a long time I am not optimistic. (Deep down I think I still am a little hopeful.) If (or when) they say no on Saturday then our profile will be sent out to a new family. Well that is the plan for today anyways. Good grief!

Thanks for sharing your great news!!!
So glad to hear that you're hopeful and that things are progressing right along - God is good! :)
So wonderful to hear you have such a great coordinator. We're praying for you guys!
Yea! Back on track. We will be continuing to pray that this match will be the right one.
Hope you are matched quickly!
That is so encouraging to hear that your coordinator is really on top of things. We are prayerful that God will reveal the right family very soon. We pray this is the one. more hugs coming your way!
Wow, you never know what a day may bring. :)
But, we do really hope that one of these days will bring you to our part of the state for a little visit. Rachel and I were talking about how much we'd love to give you a little Nor Cal pampering. :)
We love you guys...
still praying for God to be preparing the family's hearts wherever they are, that when they look at your profile, they have a sense of peace that rushes over them and they feel deeply that you two are the parents they want for their wee ones. Thank you for the updates. (((HUGS)))
We continue to pray for you guys and are in awe of your patience. Thanks so much for the updates.
update 5/11 yet? praying!
It is baffling that the genetic families don't respond 'at all'?? Our HS is ready EXCEPT dh's fingerprint clearance hasn't arrived to our SW? She got mine and D-man's by e-mail the middle of last week. She has called, but no luck finding out what the hold up is?
Being patient stinks sometimes doesn't it? However, God is making us stronger and we will be better mothers for it. I continue to pray that God will reveal the right family to you VERY soon! (((more HUGS))))
Megan is so wonderful, isn't she?
I'm so sorry that the match process isn't going as smoothly as you hoped. I am confident though that God will match you to the right family. Perhaps these delays have been to spend time while something happens on the other hand to get the other family and/or embryos ready for the match. It stinks to have to keep waiting, though. Hugs
