The Call to Start a Family

AllieI stumbled upon the idea of egg donation a couple of years ago when a friend was looking at job postings on Craigslist.  While neither of us considered the idea too seriously at the time; it stuck with me, not as a money making idea, but as an awesome thing to do for a woman or a family.  I looked at a few donation websites recently and when I found BHED, I knew this was something I wanted to do.  I immediately felt comfortable with their website and staff, and started to get really excited about the possibility of my little eggs creating a life for someone else.

As I grow older, I can feel an inner tugging towards wanting a family.  My mom always used to tell me the story of how she decided to have my older brother and me.  She had lunch with an old friend who had a newborn baby and thought, “It’s time.  I want that.”  When I was young, I thought I never wanted kids and my mom’s story sounded so cliche to me.  I’m not ready to have kids now, but I’m finally beginning to understand how my mom felt.  To have a baby inside you is such a gift.  I want to help make that happen for someone.
