The new captain

The following Thursday the two young women had a scheduled appointment at the hospital with the head gynecologist.

-" Hello Carina... and Maya?"

-" Yes, that's right" said Carina.

-"Nice to meet you, Dr. Christina Yang."

- "likewise" said the blonde

-"so I talked with Carina and Addison, I know why you're here. We're going to get into the more technical issues. Which one of you is going to carry your children? Unless obviously you both want to carry, and in that case, at the same time or not?"

-" Carina will carry our children," said Maya.

- "ok is this something you've already discussed then?"

-" Maya is a firefighter and this would be too restrictive to her job."

- "ok but we don't make children for the sake of convenience"

-"We discussed it at length and chose this option".

- "perfect and you want to start the procedures when?"

-"in June of next year"

- "it's accurate"

- "we want to do it after we're married"

- "ok perfect and do you want to use a sperm donor or a sperm bank?"

-"We thought at first about a donor, my brother, but in the end we would like to do the procedure twice, once with my egg and once with Maya's, so taking my egg with my brother's sperm is a bit strange."

- "so we had thought of the same anonymous donor to be the progenitor of our two children"

- "okay, do you have any criteria?"

-"This is where it gets complicated. I want a blond with blue eyes".

-"and I want a brown-haired man with brown eyes"

-"Indeed I understand your dilemma. And the reasons why you have this dilemma. You each want the child to be the most like the other."

-"Yes," she said at the same time.

- "well after that we have time, well you have time to think about it."

-"We will first do gynecological exams and blood tests."

-"Why?" asked Maya.

-" to make sure you are compatible and to make sure you can have children. There is no need to worry. Then, in order to benefit from a MPA, Medical Assistance for Procreation, you will have to be followed up by a clinical-biological medical team of the MPA center and you will have to undergo several interviews by professionals of this team. The interviews will focus on your motivations... "

-"Are they serious?" asked Maya.

-"Let her talk, Bambina".

-" so yes indeed, I understand your frustration, but interviews to know your motivations on your part and at the same time they will inform you about the techniques of MPA and its consequences. You will also be informed about the procedure related to the access to non-identifying data such as age, professional and family situation or country of birth and the identity of the donor. After the last information interview, you will have one month to think about it. This period can be extended. If it is good for you, a written agreement will have to be made to me and to a notary. Do you have any questions until then?"

-"No, it's okay," Carina said after looking at Maya.

-" ok, so the clinical-biological medical team will confirm or not its agreement to continue the MPA process. This agreement will be based on the probability of success of the MPA process and the meeting of conditions conducive to the reception of a child under good conditions. If there is a postponement or a refusal on the part of the MPA center, this will be communicated to you in writing at your request. But there is no reason, you both seem to be in good health and you have a good financial situation."
