i had tickets to see thom yorke in new york city at the beginning of april. the flight was booked. i was ready and stoked. but more on this later....
and today i got a reply to an email asking if the family was willing to share any details or even confirmation of a healthy birth. the email was so warm. the glow carried across in the words forwarded from the worker assigned to our match. they had a wonderful pregnancy, a long, but complication free delivery and are now parents of a healthy three month old girl. they are in love. she is beautiful. and i believe every word of it.

Yay! So glad to hear - it must feel pretty uniquely wonderful!

That was a year ago already? Wow.
I'd have been surprised if anything had gone wrong.
Are you still thinking about doing it again?
Lu - yes, in some ways it's amazing and in other ways it's kind of surreal. Until I actually see the kid (which is possible if she wants to contact me come 18) I think there's always an edge of unrealness I can't get away from. It's a part of the process I guess. But I do have a lovely image of her in my head...
John - you know, I don't think I will try to hard to do this again. It was pretty hard on my body. Gained weight, my cycle was off for about 6 months, etc...if this particular family wanted another kid then I might just, but not really jonsing to do that again.
