I thought I had plenty of time. I have until July 21st at noon to get all the contracts signed. No problem, right? The contracts for the egg donor and the surrogates were sent out to their respective lawyers this week. The surrogate planned on having a phone consultation this week and the egg donor planned on meeting her lawyer on Thursday. All is well in the land of Michael's Baby.
Eeeek!!!
The egg donor decided to meet with her lawyer on Saturday, not Thursday so she could have her husband with her.
OK...well I'm now sure she's not Orthodox and that's OK because I still have all of next week to make changes.
Arrrrgh!
The surrogate didn't realize that Ohio is on Eastern Standard Time and she missed her phone consultation. It was re-scheduled to Monday.
Alright...I can live with that, although I might wonder how she didn't know about the time change and why the one waiting for the phone call didn't call the other although may that happened and the one receiving the call wasn't available.
Oh %#*@%!!!
My lawyer is out of town all next week!!!
So when she comes back it'll be July 19th and we'll have 2 days to finalize everything. Hopefully the two women will accept the contracts as is and there will be no more negotiating. If they do then all is well. I'm going to call the lawyer's office on Monday or Tuesday and see what they have. The surrogate and egg donor's lawyers should respond with something early this week. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
This is the part of the movie with a lot of tension. I think I need a good composer who can write good, tension-filled music. Anyone know anyone?

This is like the part in Goonies when they didn't know whether or not to keep the pennies from the wishing well. Would their adventure end right there? So... much... tension!
