(For us in the bloggidy world, it feels perfectly normal - and having kids the old fashioned way is what's unusual!)<br /><br />You had mentioned that verification could take anywhere from one to six months -- it sounds like this might have been resolved? If so, how were you able to resolve it?FET Accomplihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04022601632796340799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998353539575924667.post-25939220594809328162009-09-04T22:15:36.471-05:002009-09-04T22:15:36.471-05:00I'm very excited for you Jaymee.

I understand your concern about sharing your story with the world at large. We had to make the choice recently to use donor sperm and I've been sitting with it for quite awhile and trying to figure out how to write about it in my blog or if it's even appropriate to write about. <br /><br />How wonderful that you already have a donor and you are moving forward. <br /><br />Thanks you for being so generous with us and sharing your journey with us.Mugsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844556460406512992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998353539575924667.post-71722479056926549392009-09-01T12:01:50.836-05:002009-09-01T12:01:50.836-05:00Oh Jaymee. *hugs*

You're right: The goal is to become a *mother*, period.<br /><br />I thank you so much for putting your life out there for women (like me) to read, when they're in their darkest of places, wondering if anyone else in the world is struggling with the pain of not being able to carry their own child. Really, thank you. <br /><br />And I thank you for allowing us to follow you along to the next stage of your journey towards motherhood. Who knows? I very well may end up in similar shoes (i.e. egg donor)....and if and when that time comes, I know that you will be a source of support, and this warms my heart.<br /><br />I can't wait to read about the next steps! We're all here with you, ready to root you on!Meg.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00362604475161394470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998353539575924667.post-52969100158442533332009-08-30T20:10:58.830-05:002009-08-30T20:10:58.830-05:00A beautiful post from a beautiful woman.

Your love for your soon to be child, for Sabrina, for the woman who is donating her eggs so you can achieve your dream is so touching. I am so happy for you.<br />*HUGS*Beautiful Messhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425541240465474148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998353539575924667.post-35726206044193849922009-08-30T13:56:58.225-05:002009-08-30T13:56:58.225-05:00So much to think about it in what you've writt...So much to think about it in what you've written. Here's my take on 'sharing your child's story' without their permission. I personally think that by you sharing it all so openly now, it will only help to prove to your child that you are not wanting/trying to hide the history of 'how she came to be'. You're wanting to capture every moment and feeling to share with others, will also go a long way towards helping your child understand the why's of your choices.<br />I don't have a lot of experience with ED, but I know there are plenty of people that have gone that route and now have children that are older. I would try to reach out to that community and see what they've learned and can pass on, the things that they wish they could take back, change, do over and the things that worked for them.<br />And YAY for having reached this point and having an ED ready to go for you!!Cynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11484266497636150659noreply@blogger.com
