Communication with our egg donor..

After we all exchanging email addresses with one another Kevin and I took the first step to contact Angel. We explained who we are and what brought us to this point in our life. We told her that we would like to meet her before the process begins in India, and what are her thoughts? We told her that meeting together will allow us to have that connection with her and to thank her in person before all of this happens. It is something we would treasure. We had booked our flight for December 31st to Seattle. We will be arriving at 11:00am
This is the beautiful email we received from Angel” I'm very excited to meet you both and to tell you about myself, my family and anything else you may be interested in knowing.  I can tell you now that I believe it takes a certain person with a certain mindset to become involved with this as a donor.  I have that mindset for a number of reasons.  One is that I happen to know a couple personally who are struggling very much with being able to make their family complete and, to me, family is one of the most cherished things.  I myself know that (someday) I will love being a mommy as well.  However I am far from ready for that moment.  So to help a family get there is something I would hope someone would extend to me if I were to ever find myself in a position to not be able to.
 I look forward to your visit on the 31st!  I'm available in the day and can save all of it for you two; I will just have to work at 5:30 that evening.  Have you ever been to Seattle?  If not, I can help think of a nice spot to visit where you can also do a little tourism.  If either of you are wanting phone contact I'd also be open to that, I'm an open book:)   I hope you two are having a great holiday season so far and a safe trip up!
Upon receiving this email Kevin and were extremely elated. We have such high hopes and much excitement for this. But honestly deep down inside of me, I’m so scared. I am so nervous upon meeting Angel. I am worried that she wont like us. Or what if we say or do something that makes her think differently of us? Then she changes her mind to be our egg donor. Yeah I am paranoid. Then somewhere deep down inside of me I get this feeling, no it is an overwhelming emotion I feel It hits me like nothing I've ever felt. O my gosh, this is real and it’s all beginning. Needless to say I needed reassurance so we called Lexi and she made me feel much better.
My goodness, there is so much going on right now I can’t sleep. Kevin and we had my family Christmas dinner/ December birthdays celebration at my moms on the 17^th. Then that Sunday the 18^th, my niece Madison got baptized.  Then Friday the 23^rd we had to catch a redeye flight to Chicago to spend Christmas with Kevin family. All the while I'm, thinking and worrying and imagining our meeting with Angel. I just pray she like us..and we like her.
