The Interview

Today was interview day. I was surprisingly calm going in there. It helped to have DH by my side. He has a way of putting me at ease in stressful situations simply with his presence. He was there to be interviewed as well.

When we walked into the office I was directed to a room to start filling out some forms. Once I was done with that DH and I got to meet the Agency Director who is also a Licensed Counselor. First she addressed DH and wanted to know how he felt about me becoming a surrogate. They needed to make sure I had his full support. She also wanted to know if he had any questions or concerns about the process. He had a few questions about the medications I would have to take. I forgot to tell him of his role in helping with the injections. Oops! He wasn’t too worried about it. He just wanted to know why it was necessary for me to have the injections. K(the director) was great at explaining the process to us both.

Once DH proved to be a supportive husband he was excused so K could complete her evaluation on me. She basically went over my application packet and asked me to elaborate on a few things, nothing too grueling. ;-) Overall I felt like it went well. At one point K mentioned having a couple in mind for me. I will take that as a good sign!

After the interview I had to take a drug test. I was given what looked like a double lined pregnancy test with a swab on the end. I had to scrape the inside of my mouth then hold it under my tongue for a few minutes. Interesting. It came back negative. Not that I expected otherwise. :-)

And last but not least, the 567 question psych evaluation. Do I hear small voices in my head? Everyday! Four of them to be exact. Lol. I did have to giggle at some of the questions. Hopefully I won’t need to be committed once the results come back. ;-)

I’m not sure what the next step is. I was told they would contact me. So now I wait. From what I’ve read we will be doing a lot of that. I will update when I know more.
