emails galore.

all progress in the current stage seems to be electronic. and really, how much feeling can one show over email? thus, we are not currently experiencing lovely bonding moments with doctors or secretaries that i've read about on other blogs. it's ok, though.

we continue to get responses from various clinics (except the one who said "no anonymous donors" has NOT written back with a good excuse yet...). they seem to be pretty ridiculously varied in price, which surprised me. i've currently gotout a round of clarifying emails: "when you told us that price, was it in US dollars or argentine pesos?" the pesos is about 3.09 to the dollar, so it'll make a difference!

yesterday a friend from church forwarded us an article from the biggest national newspaper....about lesbians using fertility clinics! how about that!! it quoted the head of one of the clinics we've been writing to as saying that he gets about 10 or so lesbian couples a month seeking more information. of course, he added, they come in saying they're friends, that the wanna-be mother is single, etc. but you figure it out eventually.

i just think that's amazing, that that article appeared just now. also, it gave us a couple of leads for other clinics...
