My husband and I are on round 2 of finding an egg donor. Just as we were ready to start a cycle last month, our donor failed a drug test (not just marijuana). We were devastated.
Going through this arduous process, I have discovered the factors I most identify with about myself and hope to see reflected in my child as a representation of what I would have contributed:
- Dark brown hair (the dark part is very important to me)
- Brown eyes
- Education/intelligence
- Similar BMI
The struggle - we have 2 finalists:
Donor 1:
- 4 inches taller than me and a bit higher BMI
- LIGHT brown hair
- Very intelligent
- Loved her essays- felt most connected to her "soul"
Donor 2:
- Both DARK brown hair and eyes
- Similar height/bit higher BMI
- Intelligent
- Nice essays - if I didn't read Donor 1's essays, I'd be very happy with her's
Does anyone have experience - thoughts on whether to go wtih closer looks or closer "internal qualities"?
Also if she and my husband have light brown/med brown hair, does anyone know if it is possible to produce a child with dark brown hair?
Thank you!
