Its a match, its a match!

I have those words stuck in my head to the tune of "I'm the map, I'm the map" from Dora for some reason. :)
We are matched! Yesterday my husband and I drove about an hour and a half to meet halfway with potential IPs and also with Denise who is working for the agency now. I'm not going to give too many details about them at this point until I hear that they are OK with being "blogged" about. (is blog a verb now?) Basically, we hit it off and conversation seemed so natural between us all. Their need for a carrier is different than many cases, but I really like the situation and their reasons. They already have 3 "embies" stored (from previous IVF procedures) and feel that these are their babies (which they ARE!) and want to give them a chance to join the family even though their mommy can't bring them in the same way she did with the children they have already. They seem to be a strong, stable, loving, Christian family and I am excited to starting this journey with them!
The next steps are to get all the legalities (contracts) done so we can start the medical process. We will be starting everything pretty quickly!
