[quote=Anonymous]I have been posting on and reading this forum for a few years; I post this knowing that it could get hijacked by the anti-donor egg person who has been a loud voice in recent  months but I am hoping for some perspectives of people with experience.  We are at the end of the road with my own eggs and about a month ago started the turn to donor eggs, which is expensive bc we are self pay.  Unexpectedly, a set embryos have become available through our clinic that were donated by a family who had success and completed their family. All we would have to pay for is the transfer cycle.

The embryos were created using donor material on both sides, so young and healthy.  The female donor is caucasian and has an ethnic background matches a mix of DH and I.  The male donor comes from a South American country and lists Latino and Caucasian ancestry that partially matches the female donor and DH's background. If we were setting out ourselves to create embryos we probably would not have picked this combo but its being offered it checks our big boxes: high probability of success, good medical background, good education level (both donors were students when they gave have since finished college, the male has a master's degree).

What should we be thinking about as we weigh this path over the next few days? For the record, DH is fine with having no genetic tie to the baby. I want kids and desperately wanted my own eggs to work. He wants us to be happy and our life to be fulfilled.  [/quote]
