[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it would likely work out fine.  But, we did an anonymous egg donation and I think that is also a great choice. You will feel connected to the baby because you carried it, because you decided to be the mother and because of all the day to day stuff that actually makes up motherhood.  Genetics are only as important as you choose to make them. [/quote]

Genetics actually mean a lot to me - in part because our grandparents were Holocaust survivors and as a result we don't have a lot of blood relatives, so I really want to carry those genes forward. [/quote]

Wow - that has to be one of the most nonsensical reasons I have ever heard!  And I am Jewish with one set of grandparents who lost everyone in the Holocaust.

Our genes are not any more special than anyone elses and propagating does nothing to bring back our ancestors!!!  [/quote]

What can I say? It's important to me. I would like for my child to have Jewish genes, and additionally, if there's a way to "keep it in the family," that's what I would choose. [/quote]

Then you find a Jewish donor.  While I agree it is nice, its not the end of the world not to.[/quote]
