Psych Clearance Appointment

Yesterday we got to see Patty and Shawn again! We met up for coffee before heading to out appointment with the social worker for out psych clearance (spoiler: we passed!). It was so good to see them and catch up that the time got away from us and we had to rush over to the clinic for our meeting.
During our chat we found out that Dave and Patty have very similar sleeping patterns, don't poke the bear too early in the morning, as do Shawn and I who are early risers. And, one of the best part of our conversation was Patty asking me to be a part of the baby shower.  I am letting them take the lead on how much involvement they want to have and was very excited to know that they want us to be a part of such a special time in this baby-making journey!
It was great to see the social worker, Angela, again as we met with her for our last surrogacy psych clearance. It was nice to review the last surrogacy and how this one will be different in many ways and just as, if not more, exciting!

Next step will be getting official documentation that the physical and mental clearance have been completed sent to the Vermont Surrogacy Network who will notify the lawyers to begin the contract phase.
We are already almost a week into August and September feels right around the corner, but also so far away! Looking forward to keeping this moving along and getting to the actual transfer. This process so far has been so special and such a good fit so far that I can't wait for the next step...and the smiles on their faces when we confirm the pregnancy!!!
