As of right now there is not a lot of movement in a particular direction for us. We’re still gathering information about different agencies and their associated costs, affiliations, etc. Rebekah and I are currently leaning towards exploring the route of Embryo Adoption for start our family. This option would allow us to experience being pregnant and caring for the baby as it’s growing and developing just as we would having our own biological kids.

We are hopeful to have an agency selected and our application submitted by the end of September. There is a lot to go into this as some of what is needed to transfer the embryos to Rebekah would be medical costs and we have to see if any of it would be covered by insurance, and if so which part of our insurance it would fall under, etc.

Rebekah has taken it upon herself to do a lot of the initial research and is then sharing what she finds out with me. I am helping out as much as possible, but with my school schedule and “moonlighting” work, it makes it tough for me to dedicate a time to sit and read tons and tons of material. She has done a great job so far, and I have really appreciated the level of dedication she’s put in to getting this ball rolling.
