It
was a Thursday night when Kim called and what a moment that was for me!
My husband was out curling and my son was asleep so I sat on the edge
of my bed with the phone to my ear and tears rolling down my cheeks.
When I think about it now I'm still in shock, that feeling where
disbelief collides with reality. Is this really happening?
Simply
put, I'm never going to forget picking up the phone, seeing on the call
display that a call was coming in from Kim's number and hearing her
offer to be our surrogate. That was a magical moment in my life that
will always stick with me! I feel extremely lucky for Kim and I
know that my husband feels the same. It feels good to write this down
and hard at the same time because how do you fully express what it's
like for someone to offer such an amazing gift, the chance to have
another child, a sibling for our son? How can you possibly say thank
you?
I know
that there are still many hurdles ahead of us, but to even be presented
with the chance to extend our family fills me with such happiness and
excitement. I'm in awe of Kim and her husband Carl too. Surrogacy is a
large undertaking and it will impact all of us in many ways and at
different stages along the way.
The night Kim called the journey began for us. I'm so excited to be going down this path with Kim. She is amazing.
