Try Me.

Hey friends!

This week was less eventful than last week, it seemed anyway...

On Tuesday, IM and I met face to face. It was fantastic! Previously, we had done everything through our OB and over the phone to keep emotions from getting in the way of our decision-making. I think it was a good decision. She is a wonderful person and I'm so excited to be working with her. The next step is to meet up with our husbands.

Another big "thing" that happened this week is that I accepted a job offer with a previous employer. I am SO excited and I know it's the right decision. The biggest problem this has posed on the surrogacy side of things is that I lose my disability benefits. That being said, the contract had to be adjusted which is always a pain in the arse.

And then there's Chick-fil-A. Lol! Did you see this coming? I guess with my previous two posts, it's pretty obvious my stand on gay marriage. So, I don't have to go into this? Ok, I do just a little.

I support CFA's right to Free Speech and I think the Cities that tried to ban CFA from setting up shop made a terrible mistake. CFA is donating money to prevent the 1.7% of Americans who consider themselves gay (or so I read that stat somewhere) from getting married. In my opinion, as a Christian woman, the Christian company would be better off investing that money in organizations that promote love, or feed children. I think that would be the kind of media attention that can bring people to Christ. That is all I have to say about it, and I prefer not to have a debate on this page. :)

I'll end this week's surrogacy's note with a little statement brought up to me by a friend/family member. I'm interested to hear thoughts on this. I expect as I continue through this journey I'll come across more people that have "things" to say about it. Here's this person's take on the situation (summarized):
Have you ever considered that people are not able to have children for a reason? As in God's will?

*Sigh* Use your imagination to figure out what was going on in my mind. This was my reply:
"Yep. We could think of it like that. But if good parents can't have kids, why can abusive parents have kids? Maybe my giving this girl a kid is part of God's plan. It is also giving me something. I'm getting an amazing experience."

Do you know what this person's response was??
Not a damn thing.

Have a great week everyone!!
