The hag is here! ££ ££We went to my RE’s office today and fetched the DI papers that Dr. Witz needed to sign. We also signed under a notary a statement that included a section on Texas law that was very interesting. It stated that: ££ ££“I, Darrell, as Husband accept the act of insemination as my own and agree: ££ ££a. That such child or children conceived or born shall be my legitimate children and heirs of my body, and ££b. That I hereby waive forever any right which I might have to disclaim or omit the children as my legitimate heir or heirs, and ££c. That such child or children conceived or born shall be considered to be in all respects, including descent and distribution of my property, a child or children of my body.” ££ ££Too, too cool. This child will be legitimate! I knew I loved my state! And that answers my question about what to do when my child has to draw a family tree for school! :o) ££ ££I also got my Clomid Rx and filled it. I take my first dose on Sunday! Come on Clomid, work your magic! ££ ££We did hit one small snag. I found out that I am CMV negative. It turns out that CMV is a STD that 80% of people have. I couldn’t believe it when I heard that! And by association, DH is CMV negative too! ;o) But the snag is that I must find a donor who is CMV negative also. And that leaves me with only 20% of an already small selection to choose from. Well, there goes photo matching… and I have only 12 days to select and ship the stuff to my RE’s office! Yikes! Of course, it HAD to be a Friday I found all this out and I now have to wait until Monday to do anything about it! ££ ££I wrote on the board why I chose DI over adoption. Here is what I wrote: ££ ££1. Adoption takes a long time to complete, with home studies, waiting for final adoption papers, court appearances, etc. ££2. Adoption costs $10,000 to $20,000 or more ££3. You don't always get a newborn ££4. You have no control over mother's diet or prenatal care with adoption ££5. It will be genetically mine- and I get to see the donor's history too ££6. In TX, DH must sign a form stating that this child will be his "as if by his own body" including inheritance ££7. I get to experience pregnancy, bonding in the womb and breastfeeding ££8. Nobody I don't want to tell will know we had infertility issues ££ ££I am SO happy this option is available to us! :oD&& break# break# url#userurlindex.html&&Back to front page&&&&_top
