Things I Wish I Knew About
Donor Eggs That I Know Now
By - Rite Options
THAT THE TERMINOLOGY
WOULD BE SO CONFUSING
In the very beginning, when Flo was a newborn, I referred
to our donor as Egg Angel, and then I realized that
although the act of her donating to us felt angelic, it could
paint a false image of who she actually is to my daughter.
HOW IMPORTANT IT WOULD BE
FOR ME TO CONNECT AND LEARN
FROM DONOR
I’ve been so fortunate to have connected with so many
different donor conceived adults, I wish I had this
exposure and experience prior to pursuing donor eggs,
because I definitely would have pushed for a different
agreement with our donor. Listening to these voices has
taught me so much about how to best support.
THAT THE TERMINOLOGY
WASN’T CLEAR ON HOW TO
REFER TO MY ROLE AS A
MOTHER VIA DONOR EGGS
This one really took me by surprise. I remember signing
the first legal agreement as the “intended parent” which
made sense at the time, before we had any embryos or
pregnancies - I had an intention to parent. Once I became
a mother, I started hearing the term “recipient parent”,
and if I’m being honest, that label just feels.
THAT I WOULD NEED THE
SUPPORT OF OTHER RECIPIENT
PARENTS
This is a huge one! I had no idea how much I would need
to lean on other recipient parents (ugh, I used the R word
again). As much as I would like to lean on my friends that
are genetic mothers to their children, they just don’t truly
understand - and it’s not for them to understand.
THAT IT WOULD BECOME SO
COMFORTABLE TO TALK ABOUT
OUR DONOR
I used to dread the day I was going to have to tell my child
their story, because I was so worried about rejection. I
forced myself to do it the first day of her life and almost
every day after that for the first year. I cried each and
every time and would say things like “I hope you don’t
hate me for it.
HAVE A CONNECTION WITH
OUR DONOR
When I first pursued donor eggs, all I could think about
was getting pregnant and becoming a mother. I wanted to
choose a donor that could give me the best possible
chance of becoming a mother, and wanted to find
someone who I could relate to in some way. I wasn’t
thinking about the importance of having access to the
donor, once the baby was here, and later in life.
THAT I WOULD BE SO
GRATEFUL THAT MY EGGS
DIDN’T WORK
Aside from the fact that my soul baby was born via
someone else’s eggs and that without Flo, I honestly don’t
know who or where I’d be, I am also grateful that she
doesn’t have to deal with some of my family's genetic
issues. The older I get the more I am learning about the
genes in my family and feel really grateful that she won’t
have to deal with some of the things.
Thank You
