Let's talk...

The same day I received notification that I have advanced to the screening process, I received an e-mail from my social worker! That was quick! She included a 20 page document about "Becoming a Gestational Carrier" that she requested I read before our interview. The booklet was packed full of information, detailing exactly what to expect throughout this process. What's involved in each process and everything I need to know. It was incredibly informative. The interviews (one for me, one for my husband) were conducted yesterday!

So, that was A LOT of talking. So much talking. THREE WHOLE HOURS worth of talking! We discussed everything. From my childhood, to my relationship with my husband, my family, my diet, my children and of course my pregnancies. It seemed like it went well. I really enjoyed my conversation with her, she made me feel really comfortable and was very optimistic about me continuing through the process!

Andy's conversation was later that afternoon, his was shorter but still a lot of talking at 1 hour. He said he felt the conversation went well.

I scheduled my psychological exam with a Doctor located in Boston this evening. We spoke via webex, so she could see me as I completed the MMPI exam. She was extremely nice and we had a great conversation. The test consisted of 100 basic questions, true or false answers. The entire process took me about a half hour.

My social worker said she needs to receive my psych evaluation results and then she will present my profile to a group of her coworkers to review her findings, to see if I'm eligable to proceed and be matched with potential IP's (intended parents)! Fingers crossed!!
