Thanks Anney
I have explained where I stand to both donors about anonymous donors only. Also, that it also has to be done through a clinic.
The first bowed out graciously, he wanted to play a part in the child's life. I felt bad for him. He badly wants his own 'genetic' child - has 3 step-children. He responded to the media call for donors only to be told he is too old. He's 48 and apparently 45 is the cut-off age at the clinic he approached. No wonder there is a shortage!!
I have only just emailed the second one. He is only young so I have also asked him to explain his reasons for wanting to donate and also whether he has considered how he would feel in 19years' time if someone knocks on his door looking for their dad.
What is the next step for you? Did you place an ad at AED? Is one of the ladies in there going to help or are you keeping it separate? Sorry if those questions are too personal.
I so totally understand you being scared. Let us know how you get on!!
It's nice to have another potential recipient in here.
Love
Sue
