We had our match meeting today, and it was amazing. We met with the BM, BF and the BM's mom. I can't being to describe how perfect the match was. The conversation was effortless and natural. We have so much in common, and even look a lot alike. It really felt like we were sitting across the table from the younger versions of ourselves. I still can't believe this is happening. We started waiting December 1, turned in our books the week before Christmas, were selected right after new year's and are now expecting a baby girl on March 1! I am sure there is a lot more to say, but I think I am still absorbing everything that happened today. I don't have enough words to describe the mix of joy, honor, excitement and anticipation that I am feeling right now. We just feel so lucky to have been selected by such an amazing family. DS turns two this weekend. A baby sister is one heck of a birthday present.
As a side note, I hope this gives hope to those of you who have been told that having a bio child and/or working will cause a longer wait. In our case, the BM specifically sought out a family with a working mom and an older sibling (brother preferred) in the home. So MayDay, and anyone else out there, don't count on a long wait. Our story shows that you just never know .
Re: We are matched!
Congratulations! So glad your wait was short!
Now go start buying pink things!
TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!
Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!
