I'm doing it! I am going to donate my eggs, I make'em and have no intention of having any more kids so why not share the love?? I asked David his thoughts and he is supportive but I made sure he understands that someone could knock on the door in 18 years and tell us they are my child, which they aren't so I get to smack their arse and send them home! WOOHOO!
The end aim is obviously to help someone have a child, someone who should be a parent but can't be. After all, there are people out there breeding who shouldn't be.
Gosh, wish me luck, apparently the injections are shithouse, but that's getting a little ahead of myself, after all, I still have to find a recipient and pass the genetic testing etc that they do to make sure you aren't a total freak!

Do you show Gareth and Lia as an example of what cute kids you breed?
Think I will, what do you think?? Should convince them!!
"There are people out there who are breeding and shouldn't be". That is your premise for wanting to donate your eggs. Who are you, God?
You and yours' sound perfect. Pfftt.
Yet you don't like the idea that an human being might contact you 18 years later, calling you mum. "Smack it on the bottom and send it home I would" What a cunt of an attitude. Frivolous, ardent and ridiculous: You are right on that score. Rethink that one, Witchone.
Oh by the way,I read about your ideas, or lack there of, on vaccinating children. Your oscillations were pitiful at best.
jasper.
People out there breeding who shouldn't be include (but are not restricted to) people who abuse children mentally, physically, emotionally and sexually. If you agree with that kind of treatment for children I hope you are on the DOCS speed dial list if you have children, or you are sterile if you don't.
A child I have helped create but have no bearing on the raising, educating, feeding, loving, worrying and caring for is not my child, it is a part of my DNA and as such is only entitled to know my family and I as part of a shared genetic heritage. No more and no less. Friendship is available but not mandatory.
Furthermore, ALL children should be vaccinated, why have modern medicine to protect children and then not use it?
Where on earth did you get the idea that I agreed with the idea of child abuse of any kind, on any level?
I can't see any reference to it in anything i posted.
I stated that I thought your ideas about you donating your eggs came from a place where you had not really thought about the possible consequences.
Then in reply you fluff on about how the child borne of your eggs is only entitled..."to a shared genetic heritage"..."friendship is available but not mandatory"
And there is my point.
How do you know how that child is going to feel later on?. Who are you to judge the limits and/or validity of their feelings?
It sounds more like a power trip than sharing the love. How do you even know how you might feel if you came face to face with a child that possibly looks and acts more like you than either of your existing children?
Child abuse can happen even before conception. Who would have thought?
Jasper.
You obviously haven't any knowledge as to the processes I have had to go through and will continue to go through in order to do this. This knowledge is available to anyone with the intestinal fortitude to research it.
Take your anonymous, judgmental self and fuck off.
However, if you would like to have an intelligent conversation on this subject, please do come back, I will be happy to chat.
Witchone you do jump to conclusions. Why do you presume I have no knowledge about egg donation? I saw your blog and commented about stuff I wondered had you really thought through.
I don't know you. Sure.
I was serious in wondering about later repercussions if you did donate and there was a child and the child did come looking for what he/she may or may not think of as their biological parent.
It does happen.
I am sure it is a great help for childless couples, and I know there are many out there quite deserving and yet unable to conceive naturally. I guess you came across sounding glib and it irked me.
Good luck to you. Hope it works out well for you. Jasper.
I don't believe I jumped to conclusions based on your accusations however, I shall let it pass.
Thank-you for your good wishes.
WO, I don't think you jumped to conclusions either. Commenting on your blog about what a cunt of an attitude you have is proberly enough to warrant a reply.
I'd have to agree with your ideas on whether or not you are the "parent" of the child. A "parent" would be the one raising, worrying and such. Not the one providing the family with the opportunity.
Do you get to choose who gets your eggs?
Funny you should ask, you do get to choose who gets your eggs if you want to. You can donate anonymously or you can be a known donor. I have chosen to be a known donor. All this means is that when the process begins, I know whose cycle I am matching in with in order get my eggs ready for harvest and her body ready to accept them. It's a tight time frame.
There are loads of questions people have prior to donation but mine are simple and few.
Will the resultant child ever have cause to regret my donation?
Since I haven't met anyone who regrets being born I think that question is merely hypothetical.
The second question I have is to ensure all families who benefit from my donation keep in a safe place the full name and date of birth of all children born from my eggs and from my sister should she have children.
This is simply to ensure that none of the kids get together at a later stage and find out, heartbreakingly, that they are genetically related.
Apart from that I don't feel the need to be in contact or friends with these people, I'd rather let them be a normal family. While they will always know as I will and their kids should they tell them, it doesn't need to be top of mind.
