When my husband and I have one of those special moments with my son, I often think of the couple who have twins from my first donation sharing that same experience in a couple of years time. It is so rewarding knowing that I have given them that chance. On one occasion I was passed a thank you card from a recipient for whom I donated twice. It is something which will always remain one of my most treasured possessions. The words on the card itself also carry great significance for me, because for me they sum up the part a donor can play in the recipient couple s lives.
Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
My only regret is that the footprints on her heart were not to be one of a child. Some people have asked if I m at all worried as to whether my eggs have gone to a good home . I have absolutely no worries about this whatsoever. For that reason I know my eggs have an excellent chance of finding a stable and loving home. So in short, the reason why I decided to donate and have done so a number of times, is that for me, having known the despair of infertility, the prospect of helping a couple overcome their childlessness outweighs everything the donation process involves, and I consider myself priveleged to have been in the position to be able to do it.
