Who is B

B is an amazing friend, wife and step-mother. She also happens to be my sister, Jean, sister-in-law. That is how we met, through my brother-in-law. Here is a little bit about her story that she posted on her personal blog at the beginning of their baby journey

For those of you who didn't know... I am unable to get pregnant. I had many complications as a baby and was not born with a uterus, fallopian tubes and had pre-mature ovaries. Over time one ovary has developed with healthy eggs. But still no uterus for a fetus to survive. N and I would like more than anything to have a little one running around the house so we have researched our options. We have decided to try to start a family through surrogacy. They would take my eggs and his sperm and inject it into a surrogate and hope that it takes. In doing this we would have our own biological child. It is about the same cost as adoption, but a little more complex. We have our first consultation (with a local fertility clinic) on May 5, 2009. It is the first step of many to come and we are both nervous, scared and excited for this journey to begin. The next step (probably the hardest step) will be finding a surrogate. We will keep you up to date as we begin this journey!!

I know for her that was so long ago and it has been a very rough process since. Hopefully from here on out it will be easier and one day (soon) she will have a littleone of her own!
