  1. Things I Wish I Knew About  Donor Eggs That I Know Now By - Rite Options

  2. THAT THE TERMINOLOGY WOULD BE SO CONFUSING  In the very beginning, when Flo was a newborn, I referred to our donor as Egg Angel, and then I realized that although the act of her donating to us felt angelic, it could paint a false image of who she actually is to my daughter. 

  3. HOW IMPORTANT IT WOULD BE FOR ME TO CONNECT AND LEARN FROM DONOR I’ve been so fortunate to have connected with so many different donor conceived adults, I wish I had this exposure and experience prior to pursuing donor eggs, because I definitely would have pushed for a different agreement with our donor. Listening to these voices has taught me so much about how to best support.

  4. THAT THE TERMINOLOGY WASN’T CLEAR ON HOW TO REFER TO MY ROLE AS A MOTHER VIA DONOR EGGS This one really took me by surprise. I remember signing the first legal agreement as the “intended parent” which made sense at the time, before we had any embryos or pregnancies - I had an intention to parent. Once I became a mother, I started hearing the term “recipient parent”, and if I’m being honest, that label just feels.

  5. THAT I WOULD NEED THE SUPPORT OF OTHER RECIPIENT PARENTS  This is a huge one! I had no idea how much I would need to lean on other recipient parents (ugh, I used the R word again). As much as I would like to lean on my friends that are genetic mothers to their children, they just don’t truly understand - and it’s not for them to understand. 

  6. THAT IT WOULD BECOME SO COMFORTABLE TO TALK ABOUT OUR DONOR I used to dread the day I was going to have to tell my child their story, because I was so worried about rejection. I forced myself to do it the first day of her life and almost every day after that for the first year. I cried each and every time and would say things like “I hope you don’t hate me for it. 

  7. HAVE A CONNECTION WITH OUR DONOR When I first pursued donor eggs, all I could think about was getting pregnant and becoming a mother. I wanted to choose a donor that could give me the best possible chance of becoming a mother, and wanted to find someone who I could relate to in some way. I wasn’t thinking about the importance of having access to the donor, once the baby was here, and later in life. 

  8. THAT I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL THAT MY EGGS DIDN’T WORK Aside from the fact that my soul baby was born via someone else’s eggs and that without Flo, I honestly don’t know who or where I’d be, I am also grateful that she doesn’t have to deal with some of my family's genetic issues. The older I get the more I am learning about the genes in my family and feel really grateful that she won’t have to deal with some of the things.
