Awesome news!! Was the fam there?

[zacifer]

YAY!!!!! I was just going to ask what Alice asked. How does this whole plan work with you and the fam being so far away? How do you send info back and forth?

[Deanie]

That is so awesome that your being a surrogate!

[GooseBella]

So happy for you! I think what you are doing is amazing!

[BreaMommy]

I am so hoping to be able to do this for my sister-in-law! She had a hysterectomy at a young age... Congrats on baby heartbeat!!

[Eileen]

Nope, the parents live in China, so we probably won't see them again until the birth (well, they might come out here once during the pregnancy for a special ultrasound or something, but we're not sure yet).

We scanned the u/s pictures and emailed them, and my DH used my cell phone to record the monitor screen during the u/s and we emailed that to them, as well.

We do most of our communication through email because of the language barrier. The parents do speak a little English, and they can read English well, so that's just the easiest way to go.

Wow! Why did they do the transfer in Chicago tho and not Portland?

I'm stunned they are from china. Sorry surprised.
