[quote=Anonymous]My wife has a genetic disorder that is genetically dominant and results in malformation of many parts of the eye.  She was fortunate that the onset did not become serious for her until she was an adult, but through national support organizations, we have met children as young as 2 years old who have had serious onset, low vision and visual issues that have required surgery.  She and one of her two siblings both have this syndrome (2 out of 3).  Her father and paternal grandmother had it.  That, plus we married later in life, we decided not to risk using her eggs (at over 40, we were also worried about more problems just from age).  We decided to use and ED.  We had one fresh cycle which resulted in two miscarriage (twins), two that did not survive thawing and two that resulted in a chemical pregnancy and did not take.  We switched clinics and egg donors and the first try of the second fresh cycle resulted in twins that are now 5 months old.  We selected a donor that had similar body type and look to my wife.  And DW could hardly be happier (except with a little more sleep...).  They are the joy of our lives.  We had a long questionnaire, we got 3 photos of the donor as a toddler, adolescent and as a young teen to give us an idea of what she looked like.  The questionnaire gives us an idea of her education, skills at arts, and her family medical history.  There were a lot of things that matched up well with DW.[/quote]
