We are hoping to leave soon.  However, our visas have not come through yet.  Getting the visa has been one of the most difficult parts for us.  Mine was denied this first time because my husband and I had to come to the appointment together, but the website did not say this. There is a great deal of paperwork to arrange.

Visa are outsourced to a company.  It used to be travisa in Houston, but it has transitioned to BLS.  There was a little time in there when they were not accepting applications. However, now we have already spoken to the consulate.  He said that he has approved the visa, but the website still says that it is in process.  

We have gathered our things, made our arrangements, and we are ready. I am self-cycling. So my doctor here has ordered the medications (FSH) and I will have my bloodwork and follicular scan done at the beginning of my next cycle.  Then we will make the journey.

In India there will be several days of stimulation then retrieval.  Then we will wait.

Say extra prayers for us.





Today June 30, 3013
My husband and I decided about 2 months ago that our next step in our fertility journey was surrogacy.  After a few failed IVF cycles (one with fetal demise), our fertility specialist suggested surrogacy.  Since surrogacy in the USA is out of our price range we sought other alternatives.  After much investigation we have decided to travel to New Delhi, India and work with Surrogacy Centre  India (SCI).  
Right now we are in the process of trying to get our visas.    With the new laws you need a medical visa/medical attendant visa with lots of supporting documents.  This has been a trying process. 
We are coordinating with our US physician and will follow us for the first 5 days, then SCI will take over care. 
Wish us luck and blessings.
