[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did and we have no regrets.
Donor egg, donor sperm and surrogate at the end of a very long and painful IVF journey. [/quote]

Are you the woman? Did you have any hesitation over the idea that it's only biologically yours husbands child?[/quote]
We used donor egg and donor sperm, so it’s neither my husband’s nor my biological child. I didn’t believe it when everyone told us it wouldn’t matter once our child was actually born, but it’s true.[/quote]

I do believe that's true. Did you explore adoption and was there a reason you decided against it vs surrogate?[/quote]
We had already spent 7 years doing IVF with our own eggs and sperm. Our financial resources were finite. We did the home study for adoption at the time we were at the fork in the road. The prospect of spending another indefinite number of years on domestic or international adoption vs. the one-year timeline for surrogate+donor IVF seemed more feasible and sure. We were already in our early forties and didn’t have any bandwidth left to deal with that much uncertainty.[/quote]
