OH, I just want to give you a big huge hug!!! You have done the most selfless thing a person could ever do EVER!!! I am so amazed by your generosity. Please know, that your gift is going to make someones life complete! As a person that has suffered through infertility for a total of 7 years, and fertility treatments for 2, what you have given is priceless! We were fortunate enough to receive 10 embryos through donation, and I thank God everday for our donor... and we are so thankful she chose us. I would like to tell you "Thank You" a Million times... as I know your donor recepient is!!
Please don't feel sad. You have given someone the chance at parenthood. They have cried a million tears, and thought their dream would never come true. You made that possible!
Again, you are beyond amazing, and I say "THANK YOU!"
Melissa

OMG I am so sorry about your sadness. I had no clue that the donors could experience sadness when they see their little ones born to another family. I kinda can imagine that now. That must be so hard but without you (donors) we would not have our wonderful little guy. Now I understand more why our donors were anonymous and don't want to know more about him. They must be afraid it's going to hurt and I would not want that. I truly wanted my little one to one day meet his brother and sister but if that's going to cause pain then it's better that way for sure.
Will you get info and news about her or did you decide to do a more anonymous kinda way adoption?
Again I am so sorry and sad but want to also thank you a million times about making that wonderful decision to give your little girl a chance to live and be born. What an amazing decision. You are truly blessed. Hugs and prayers your way.

I really hope another donor is able to respond!
I am on the other side as an embryo adoptive mom. I think it's normal for you to feel sad at times. I have thought about how hard it must be at times for the genetic families of my boys.
You said you went through an agency, I would suggest contacting them to talk it over. Possibly talking to another family who has donated/placed embryos with a live birth resulting (some donate and no pregnancy occurs) may help.
placingparents.org is a great blog you may find support from as well.

Thank you all for the kind words, I had no Idea anyone even posted. Well I am happy to report that I am no longer sad & confused, I was having alot of diferent feelings all at once...but Im perfectly fine now. Baby Girl is born and she is happy & healthy. The family has been wanting to meet us and I have been putting it off for months...Her parents send pictures from time to time and thats pretty cool. We have recently decided that we will meet and Im still a little uncomfortable I suppose, because I dont want them to feel uncomfortable ( if that made sence) anyway Ill keep you posted as we go our journey.  so far its been really an awesome experience! I have NO regrets and it really is a wonderful thing! Gods blessings to you all!! Im SUPER happy for all the families that have been blessed with their lil ones through EA!! Thanks again |

Im an Embryo donor and a mom of two beautiful kids, my first was spontanious pregnancy, then I had three miscarriages and decide to do IVF....thats how I had my 2nd child, then later I had some health Issues and had to have a hysterectomy so with 7 Embryos still in storage I couldnt Imagine what we would possibly do with them so I researched and came to an agency to donate to and we were able to choose a wonderful adopting family and I have felt good about my choice for months but as her day of birth comes closer I find myself sad??? I dont know how Im even suppose to feel..... any Advice 
so far its been really an awesome experience! I have NO regrets and it really is a wonderful thing! Gods blessings to you all!! Im SUPER happy for all the families that have been blessed with their lil ones through EA!!
