Egg donation

Aug 31, 2011 16:27

I've never thought about egg donation before and that’s weird because I donate blood, and I have a donor card for most of my body parts in the event of my death.

I’ve always wanted to have a family of my own one day, family means a lot to me even if I grew up in a relatively small one myself. I’d love two kids eventually, maybe towards the end of my 20s early 30s.

I’m going on 22 now and after watching a programme about a woman donating her eggs back in the early 90s, I thought about how happy a donation can make someone. If you’re unable to have kids of your own because there’s something wrong with your body or you've had cancer/some kind of disease, it must be heartbreaking, wanting a family so much and not being able to achieve that on your own. I know I would be broken if it ever happened to me.

I would like to make a couple happy, to help them have something that can give them life, something special. Life is special.

I looked in to it and it is a lengthy process but now it has my heart, I've had a little cry about it as I stumbled across a few "donor wanted" pages online. I get far too attached to things like this. Thing is, this is my dissertation year and I will need to do a lot of studying, donating is probably not such a good idea this year. But I really want to help and I don't know what I'll be doing next year. I don't know what to do now, I'm a little bit lost.
