Hey Everyone, I am also going with Dr. Fernando Garcia, aiming for a Feb 2013 date as well. I have been speaking with him an his staff for over a week now and am pretty confident in my decision. BUT, I have to most likely go alone. Which I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to do that. SOOOO, I was hoping there would be someone(persons) that wouldn't mind "buddying" up through this process. I live in the Washington DC/ surrounding areas. So it would be lovely if someone from this area is considering him during the same time. But anywhere is okay I just don't wanna do this alone. If that's cool with anyone we can go through it ll together. If interested let me know what dates because I haven't scheduled yet. Maybe we can exchange contact info.

Cashier's check or credit card. But credit cards the apply a processing fee 3%

Or if you live near a Wells Fargo bank, you can make a deposit to their account.. I bought a money order and did that.

Its official!! I am scheduled for Feb. 16th and arrive on the 15th. Now I just have to work on getting passports for the Hubby and I.

I am usually the type that goes back and forth and have a hard time making a decision but the more that I read expiriences with Dr.Garcia the more sure I became that I was making the right choice.

Hope to see some of you there!
