Egg Donation
Hello, I consider donating an egg (no money involved, just a donation) to a couple – they tried to have kids for the last 6 years and cannot, so now the doctor told them that if they want to have kids they must get an egg donation. I know that I will have shots for a couple of weeks and the eggs removal isn’t a nice process, plus I might have moods swings in the time that I get hormones. All of that doesn’t REALLY bother me – it’s an inconvenient, but not more than that. My fear is that I will feel like I gave MY child… I really want to do this for them – they are a really nice couple and I would like to give back to the world, after receiving so much, and knowing that as lesbians, my partner and I will need a sperm donation some day, I’d like to give others the gift that we will one day get. My only fear is feeling that the kid is somehow mine – I’m afraid that when I will know that the kid is born and somewhere in Melbourne there’s a little kid that looks like me, it will then make me feel motherly (they said that I will be able to see the baby after he/she will be born if I want). I don’t have kids yet, and not going to have any in the next 5 or so years. I would love to hear what do you think about it – how those of you that got a sperm/egg donation feel about the people that donated it to you? If they weren’t anonymous donors – how do they feel about your kids – do they feel any connection to them or motherly/fatherly feeling about them? Thank you very much; I really appreciate your opinions!!
