With anonymous donations, many egg donors are left wondering about the intended parent(s). They often wonder what the intended parents are like, what their story is, and how their embryo transfer went. Once in a while, an intended parent will ask us to share a letter/thank you note with the egg donor.

Intended Parent Writes a Thank You Letter to Egg Donor

An intended parent recently wanted to share more about herself and her journey with her egg donor. Although they never met, the intended mother felt compelled to write the egg donor a thank you letter. The egg donor was touched by the intended mother's kind words so much that she wanted to write back to tell her that she healed from the procedure and wished her the best for a positive pregnancy.

We wish we could share the complete letters but we’ve picked out our favorite parts to share with you.

Heartfelt words from the intended mother:

“I am currently sitting in my hotel room after having a transfer of two female embryos on Sunday, Mother’s Day… what a beautiful gift on such a symbolic day.

I wonder how you are doing and what thoughts are going through your mind. Are you ok? Are you in pain? Have you gone back to work/study?

I couldn’t be happier, this cycle has gone so well and the outcome has exceeded my expectations. The pressure is finally off! There are so many embryos to choose from that if this transfer does not end positively then I will just have to come back and try again… you gave me that, you gave me the relief of not having to worry anymore. Today I feel the freedom of choice and possibility.

I have dreamed of twin girls since I was 12 years old as I have twin sisters that are 6 years older than me. In the last few years, I have thought that dream would never become a reality at my age. And so I have genetically grieved as a donor was my only possibility and yet as I look at your photos there is such a similarity between us. We both have curly hair and blue eyes.

I really want you to know how extraordinarily grateful I am to you for giving me this opportunity to live a dream that was born so long ago. I wish you all the happiness in the world and may one day you have a family of your own and feel the love and excitement motherhood brings.”
