PreBirth Order Update...

It's a good day today!
I recieved a phone call from Denise telling me that she heard from the attorney handling the Pre-Birth Order....ya know, the one we desperately needed signed by the judge?!
And, YES! It has been signed!!! YEAH, YEAH, YEAH! I dont think I, personally, have been THIS happy since we recieved a postitive pregnancy test. I could cry right now as tears well up...I know it's tough to understand if you're not in the middle of this, but this was HUGE! Jeff & Denise's experience when these babies are born is going to be as close to normal as possible (given the uniquness of this) now that this order is signed. They will recieve the parents wrist bands, they will recieve a room of their own at the hospital, the hospital staff will address them regarding the children, they will get to be present during the birth~ that may seem obvious but it was NOT a given because delivery will happen in the Operating Room, you can't just have "friends" accompany you into the O.R.. All of those things (and many more), may seem like rights that they should, like any other parent, recieve. But, no, being that this is a surrogate pregnancy/delivery, even though they ARE the parents, they would NOT have recieved those rights had the Pre-Birth Order not been signed. My heart is SO incredibly happy for Jeff & Denise today, what a victory! Thank you Lord!
