My phone rang 30 minutes ago, it was the lovely lady from Altrui who I have spoken to so many times.
I told her about crying on Saturday. My little girl had her first dance performance. I was so proud. I realised how many women out there never get to hold their little ones or ever get to experience being a mummy and that is why I am doing this.
I will be helping a couple with falling pregnant and my first appointment at Guys in London is on Thursday. I am excited, yet nervous and thought the way to understand and look back on this journey is by blogging about it so others can learn from my experience and also understand the reasons for wanting to do this.
I am happy today.
what a great thing to do Talita. Its only when you experience that joy and understanding what a gift children are, that you can appreciate how sad it is that not all women are given this gift. I hope this is a success for all involved. Bless you xx
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI am also going the process of becoming a donor and everything you have said i can totally agree with you. I have been blessed with 3 beautiful sons (as i type my 17 month old twins are fighting over the same toy but laughing about it).
My reasons for wanting to become a donor are due to friends and family having fertility problems and although i would love to help them (sadly due to their reasons i am unable to) i want to help someone out there have what joys i have every day and maybe even take for granted by having children.
I am glad you have set up this blog as the more people are aware that they can help will hopefully help many childless couples.
I have a friend who has been at the end of egg donation and they are now expecting triplets and that in its self is wow at how a total stranger has changed their life for the better.
Hope your journey is successful x
