[quote=Anonymous]Epigenetics really helped me. I felt good knowing that my body was influencing my child. The donor may have provided the blueprints, but my body is providing the building blocks.

As for bonding, the thing that helped me was my cats. I have no genetic link to them, but I love them to pieces. If I can feel that way about something that isn't even my own species, I should be able to feel that way about a baby I carry in my own body.

I'm still carrying my DE baby, but I can say that I'm 100% bonded. I can't imagine loving (or worrying) any more for a child than I do for this little monster inside me.

But I know not everyone feels this way. And OP, we can't tell you how you'd feel. So the question becomes--does wanting a child outweigh having a DNA connection? If you think you can be happy child-free, then that might be the best option for you. But for me, I wanted a child more than I wanted a DNA connection.

It's a tough choice, but I found once you get over the hump (should I, shouldn't I?), the rest is easy.  [/quote]
