[quote=Anonymous]I had my first daughter using my own eggs at age 41.  At age 43 we tried for another with my own eggs, but after 2 failed IVFs we moved to DE.  We got pregnant on our first try with DE.  We chose a donor who was like me in many ways but had some bonuses (traits that I WISH I had) - very musical, taller than I, etc.  My son is not quite 2 and we have already started to tell him about hsi origins.  Our family is already "blended"...I have a step daughter, a genetic daughter and a DE son, so each kid has a different story. I hope my kids understand that we love them all the same.  We also chose to do a semi-open DE arrangement.  Our donor has agreed to let our son contact her once he turns 18.  Since we knew we'd tell our son about his origins from the start, we wanted to give him the option of finding out about his donor and meeting her if he ever wanted to.

We felt very comfortable choosing our donor as our clinic provided a long history with physical, psychological, medical background on the donor and her family.  We have both baby and adult pictures of the donor as well.

We are so happy we did DE.  It was really a very easy decision for us.[/quote]
