do you remember that poem by Robert Frost: "The Road Not Taken"? i quickly had to re-read to update myself, last time i read it probably was in ninth grade; odd how you can recall a lesson like that. well, today i feel like there should have been a third road even!
today Brian and i will partake in an IVF of where I will become a surrogate mother, so that i will be carrying a child for a couple we met who live in Pennsylvania. we will go through another IVF tomorrow as well. hopefully this procedure will only have to occur these times and that it is successful. if i do in fact become pregnant, their child will be due around the end of August 2011.
i have an array of emotions filling my mind: excitement for them, nervousness that all goes well, bewilderment of this whole situation, awe of God's hand in all of this.
God has blessed Brian and I with three beautiful, amazing, smart, happy, darling children. This couple we met deserve to have a child like that. With Brian and I it was so easy to make children without a hitch, how saddening it is to know many people don't have the same luck.
there is a reason i have felt a calling to do this. there is a reason we met them. there is a reason, this child is to born on Earth and that they are the parents. God placed that calling on me. God planned our meeting. God will create this child.
