6 Days till Take off!!!

We can not believe how quickly things are now starting to move, we take off for Mumbai next Thursday on another chapter of this life changing journey and we can not wait!!!!! I (Michael) finished work yesterday and this still has not really sunk in, more importantly I was also granted parental leave equivalent to that of Maternity/adoption leave and have been assured the state department I work for will add surrogacy leave into their policies by July of next year (not before time)...

Everything is now in order bubs bag has been packed and ready to go for sometime, we are yet to book our flights but think today will be the day as we received a scan report yesterday and all is on track. Still have a few little loose ends to tie up and get organised, today we are getting the baby seat fitted in the car another job to tick off.

Both our mums are starting to get very excited as are all our family and friends.... We will keep you posted..

Special congratulations to Ula & Saul we can not wait to meet you guys, we hope all is going well with your little ones.

    I’m also very glad that you got the parental leave granted. I think it is fantastic to see that the system is slowly moving in the right direction.
