I'm gonna be a Mommy

[Guest RetrdEscrt]

I had the BEST news yesterday ever:7 :7 ,in August we're having a baby,we were at the Doctors office and the surrogate mom we are using got the news we have all been waiting for she is 8 weeks pregnant.I cried ,my hubby cried it was SO cool.Its been a long hard struggle ,its taken nearly a year to get to this stage and nearly 2 years since the intinal'shall we' conversation.

 

We searched all over the USA for a suitable agency then found one just 15 minutes from where we live GO FIGURE !!!.You go through all sorts of stuff from the intinal application process to interviews,you have to write a profile about yourself saying why you want a child ,you have to send in photos of yourselves and your health insurance details,have a psych evaluation select and meet the prospective surrogate mom(who is the nicest person EVER!)do all the legal stuff ,have a medical exam and screening then your sperm is quarantined for 6 months and then implanted,this finally happened at the beginning of December .When this happened it was like Phew at last something definite is happening.

 

Its a real eye opener,the company we chose has been great its run by Gay folks and has a real good rep(we checked) and then our lawyers double checked .I didnt think there would be so much stuff to go through,the deal with the mom runs to like 4 pages of stuff you have to give .clothing allowances,additional fees paid every month for phone calls,mileage etc and all medical and legal costs and the actual fee for the surrogacy which is paid to the mom every month until birth .

 

This was the reason i gave up escorting.I got to 30 and wanted a child so bad it hurt, it's not something you do lightly and i know it will change our lives for the better it will be the next step i believe after 14 years together its the right stepfor both of us,i think i'll make a great Mommy ,my hubby jokes that he's gonna have to be the bad guy and discipline the child when they get out of line as i will let them run riot otherwise.

 

This is the happiest i've been for a long time,there has been something missing and its a child also the great thing is i can start planning and decorating the new nursery .

I am happy for you that you will have this opportunity. I have a feeling you will make a great parent. Give the child your gift for enjoying life, treating people fairly without judgement and you'll have a fine child.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! to both you and your hubby. Sounds like one lucky kid to me. Why do I get the feeling your hubby is right, in that he'll have to be the disciplinarian as you sound like you love kids so much, that you just couldn't say no.

 

Thanks for the education, as I did not know that such places and procedures existed.

 

Once again congratulations and have one big happy baby shower! :7

WOW...CONGRATULATIONS... you go boys!

 

My 2 children are now grown, late teens and early 20's, hope your child puts as much joy in your life as mine do and have to my life. As I grow older they seem to even add more to my life and fill the fear of growing old.

Your life will truly change forever, just remember thru the good and rough times one word...LOVE...and somehow I get the feeling that will not be a problem for you.

That's SO cool!! :7

 

Let me join everyone here in wishing you and your family the very best.

 

Kids were (still are) the joy of my life and even make many years in the closet something I wouldn't trade if I had the the chance to relive with or without them.

 

You teach kids to love by loving them and each other--ALWAYS let your child know (s)he's loved NO MATTER WHAT--and never think you will spoil them by loving too much. I'm happy for you both

Well this is great news!:7

Are you going to play mommy when the baby arrives?

or will baby have two daddies?

What a world, what a world! Who'da thunk that they'd let a retarded escort have a baby. ;-)

 

All the best. I admire you for being willing to make such a big commitment.

children give a person a future, a reason to recycle, save money, do long term planning. they express our hope and dreams. it is exciting to watch them develop and bloom. as expressed above, in my case children were worth years in the closet. children make life worth while. children are a blessing in a person's life. you are lucky. all the best to you.
