I think this might be my 50 bazillionth post on waiting. Have I mentioned that waiting is a pretty big part of adoption? ; ) This time I am not really sure what we are waiting for. When we adopted embryos with Snowflakes the legal process and procedures were very transparent. Now that we are adopting embryos directly through FASAC (our clinic) I am not really sure what comes next or how much longer we wait. I am actually unaware of what we are waiting for at this time. All I do know is that last Friday (Jan. 15) I got a call from the clinic to tell me that our donor family had met with their lawyer (supposedly to draw out a contract) and that she should be hearing from them that day. Well over one week later we have heard nothing from the clinic or our lawyer who said she would call their lawyer everyday to find out what is going on. Waiting would be easier if I knew what we were waiting for. I've seen a donor contract before. It is not complicated. It is actually very cut and paste and supposedly the donor family's lawyer has done them many times before so I am a bit worried that the only reason why we are waiting so long to get this contract is because the donor family. . . .(gulp) . . . is having second thoughts. If they pull out of our donation I think Dan and I should win an award for suffering the most rejection in one calendar year. I could be wrong. Maybe everything is fine. But it has been extremely consistent in the past that when we wait for a donor family for an unusual amount of time and they are difficult for the clinic to contact that the match is doomed. It is just really frustrating. I almost don't need to say it because you all have walked with us through this so many times already. We have the money for the transfer. I just reordered my medications. I am prepared to take time off for the transfer IN FEBRUARY! We need this to happen. It is a good thing I have spin class in an hour. I need to burn off some stress.

My goodness...I know this is so frustrating for you guys! You really have had to wait so long for your donors to sign paperwork (numerous times). I hope this gets sorted out soon and you will be able to have your FET in February!
Praying and walking with you through this hard part of waiting.
Oh brother! I wish I knew what to say. I guess the only thing is to tell you that we continue to pray daily for you. Love you.
Good grief~ how frustrating! I can't imagine. Praying for you guys and hoping you'll be able to have your Feb. FET!
I am praying as always. I don't understand any of this either. :( Praying that February is still a go!
Praying that things start moving....
I'm so sorry it's taking so long. I hope you get your answers soon!
Thanks for the comment and encouragement! Waiting is the hardest thing on the planet. Especially when you've been trying for so long!!
Good luck to you!! I have started following your journey!!! :0)
