Amenable

The hubs and I met with the aforementioned potential Intended Father today and we really like him! He's intelligent, which is a big one for the hubs, but he also strikes me as a patient, sensitive person. We discussed the questions I wrote up earlier, and while he's not excited about a midwife (which is fine; this is his kiddo we're talking about; not mine), he's definitely interested in being an active part of labor and delivery. That was a big one for me. He's got very specific criteria as far as an egg donor goes, and is waiting to hear back from someone who meets that criteria. He was very clear though, that no matter what, he'd really like to work with us. This statement alone pretty much made up for all the waiting and "rejection" I've felt regarding surrogacy over the last few months. And because hubby and I are well and truly impressed by him, we've agreed to wait up to three months in the event that the aforementioned donor doesn't choose him, before we revisit our options. This is so that he has a reasonable chance to find another donor to fit his criteria. If there's no hope of finding someone, he'll just drop it and we can move on. He says he should know whether the donor is amenable within a week or so. If she is, we move forward! *keeping fingers crossed!*
