My DH was talking about feeling some of the same things about the possibility of donor sperm if we had needed it and saying he would rather adopt at that point.<br /><br />ICLW #6Kecharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711100496195654068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532456271171506906.post-24364942729970817752012-02-26T21:36:41.983-05:002012-02-26T21:36:41.983-05:00I think all the concerns you listed are totally un...I think all the concerns you listed are totally understandable. We all have insecurities, and infertility just magnifies all of them. But even though genetics can be important, genetics don't ultimately make the person. She may be provided genetic material, but you are the mom. No ifs ands or buts about that. And you will be amazing. Congrats on finding a donor! She sounds awesome :)Kathttp://lesterresfertiles.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532456271171506906.post-5416635188724481792012-02-25T05:37:07.158-05:002012-02-25T05:37:07.158-05:00Hi,

Sometime next year I'll be doing donor eggs too. I hope that I can find a donor that fits my wants and needs too.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316511791499949824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532456271171506906.post-79981610364463646062012-02-24T11:57:59.584-05:002012-02-24T11:57:59.584-05:00That's wonderful news!

My brother, sister, and I could not be more different in terms of our interests, personalities and professions. But we all came from the exact same genetic pool. Your donor might be a girly girl but you could give birth to a total tomboy...you never know. And then there's the nature vs. nurture thing - you will have a huge influence on how your child turns out no matter what. So congratulations on making a monumental decision! I cannot wait for you to get started!newbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779719410948226318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532456271171506906.post-38473934249848653322012-02-24T11:03:09.513-05:002012-02-24T11:03:09.513-05:00Congratulations!!!

When we boil down human beings to traits on paper it's hard not to judge ourselves against those. I was also very self conscious during high school and didn't much care for cheerleaders either...I was a tomboy and totally didn't relate. As a funny side note my daughter is showing sings of being a girly girl...so it's not genetic.someday-soonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347835900888933013noreply@blogger.com
