Happy Father's Day

Father's Day turns 100 this year!  Like any other holiday, Father's Day is in my face, and I can't help but think about the consequences of my decision.  Moving forward doesn't mean that I don't mourn over such issues.  I just have to do my best to provide appropriate (loving, positive, strong morals, etc...) father-figures for my child.

Donor Contract

Going through the process of the donor contract made me anxious. Since sperm donation is a new and unsettled area of law, I called KD looking for reassurance. He made me realize there has to be a certain level of trust between us, and he's right. He also went on to say that he is level-headed... most of the time! I felt good about our conversation, he is easy to talk to.

The attorney I hired is an assisted reproduction attorney, she specializes in sperm, egg, and embryo donation. After paying her, I dreamt that she wasn't able to help me. The next morning I go online and see a link to: The 8 Most Common Types of Dreams -- And What They Mean. I read it and learn that I had a processing dream. According to the article, processing dreams are a way for our subconscious to digest the bazillion message units we are exposed to all day... since this contract was so foreign to me, the interpretation made total sense... funny how that played out. 

My end of the contract is now complete. I am waiting for KD to review it with his attorney, request changes and/or sign it. Legal fees: $1100.
