Letter from a donor to her egg recipients
To my recipient couple,
I cannot begin to tell you how you both have touched my life. I fell in love with you when I read your letter and just got the feeling that I had to be your donor. You came into my life when it felt as though everything was falling apart and I decided that helping you would be my absolution.
The journey donors go on is different for each of us. Mine was in the context of growth and becoming a better person within. The hormones made me a little moody yet I found it fascinating the way my body responded to this experience. The egg collection procedure itself was easy, and I was awake after about 15 minutes, drinking tea and laughing with my mom.
This letter is to wish you both all the happiness in the world and I am thinking of you both during this time. Your choice of me has healed me in ways I can never put into words. By picking me, you have greatly enriched my life and I know that I have and will enrich yours. Your gift to me means more than anything, and I know my gift will mean just as much to you.
Thank you again for everything.
