Annie's Story Posted Dec 1, 2007 I will start by saying I'm 25 years old, married and have three great kids - one girl and two boys. They are my life, I love them to bits. I can't think of my life without them. This is why I decided to become an egg donor. I had my first egg recovery yesterday. It all went well - the reason I chose to become a donor is because the love and joy I have day- in, day-out from my kids is great and the thought of a lady not having that makes me really sad. I decided tgat if I can help her, why not? I don't know much about the lady - only her age - and to me that's good. I have asked the clinic to let me know when she has a baby or babies just so I'll know I have done what I set out to do and that is to give someone the gift of life. I can't say how I will feel in 18 years when they find me because I don't know. For now, if I were to get letter of thanks from the lady it would be nice because then I'd know I'm appreciated... I love the thought of what I have done and I will carry that with me for the rest of my life. I just hope that now the lady who received the ova is as lucky as I was and has a baby the first time around - I would like to wish the best of luck both to her and to her partner!
