[Papa D]

We've gone through so much failure with IVFs, IUIs and attempts at natural conception that we just want some certainty at this point. But the birthmom is not due until late July, which is a solid four and a half months from now, so I imagine there will be some natural vacillation on her part. And learning the gender does indeed make the whole situation more human and less abstract for a young mom. Luckily, our lawyer is very involved and my cousin is her ob/gyn so we kind of feel like we've got an inside track and no agency middleman to worry about. We'll try to be patient!
