How did you choose your donor?

My partner and I are a few week out from ordering and we're having a rough time deciding on a donor! So I'm just curious about what sold your donor to you. What made you decide "yes, I like this one. Let's do it!"?

  • Hi Tep,
    My wife and I came up with the top three important factors that we wanted in our donor. I think you should start there. Perhaps education is important, that he's a college graduate. Maybe his characteristics (blonde, blue eyes or brunnette brown eyes), or that he looks like the one that's not carrying.
    His medical records I believe should be important, for us it was.
    From there choose three top donors and then narrow down to one. Hope this helps! Good luck on your search :)
  • Hi Tep,

    Since I am carrying my wife originally wanted to find herself in the donors and that is a very difficult task because everyone is their own person and you're never going to find the same person. So we starting to look at like dating. We would put our must have characteristics in the favorites then we listened to each donor conversation as if we were looking to date this person, because ultimately our child will have similar characteristics to the donor and we want to make the best child!! :D This is a very tough decision but have fun with it, it's a rare privilege to choose your donor! :D Good Luck!
