Having been through the process before, and having lived-through what you speak of, and ultimately having success…I must agree with your points. It is the quality that matters.

Now that I am a parent, I realize the gift that our donor provided us, and we are glad that we didn’t hold-out for the “perfection” that I know others whom I’ve met had (and in some cases are still awaiting). We were realistic in our criteria (health and some level of physical resemblance, based on shared heritage), and, frankly, grateful that there were young women willing to do this—what a gift!

Thanks,
Nancy
