It has been a crazy summer, one filled with a lot of ups and downs: we got another dog (a sweet Labrador-cross from the local shelter), my mother suffered a mild stroke, more tragedies with missing airplanes and more unrest (Iran and China), Michael Jackson died... well, the last bit shouldn't even be on the same line as the others but he's still an icon who has played an influential role in my childhood. I will miss him.
As for the egg donation with T, it's all coming along nicely. Tickets are booked and arrangements made for the short trip in London. I am strangely excited to meet T - it will be such an honour to meet this wonderful woman who trusts me enough to have my eggs fertilized with her husband's sperm and then put into her womb. Sometimes when I look at this from another angle, it's just so mind-boggling. The wonders of science indeed.
I feel very positive about this particular donation to T, like I said in my previous post, partly because this is an open donation. T has been very open with this right from the very beginning, telling me all about herself and her family. I found it refreshing and somehow knowing that she is so open about this, gives me a sense of security that there will not be any drama later on in the child's life. Because the child will grow up knowing about me and my gift for T, she will not get a nasty shock when she suddenly finds out and starts her search for all the answers.
Less than two weeks before my trip to London. Ohh I am getting quite excited!

Hi goldengoose, I came across your blog here after many months of searching the Internet for an egg donor from Hong Kong. I wish that I had stumbled into this a bit earlier. It is very nice to know that there are people like you out there who are unselfish and willing to give the greatest gifts of all to those who needed the most. I wish there are more people like you around. Like many people who read your blogs, I too have tried IVF but was unsuccessful because of a long-history of medicine condition and miscarriage. I've also tried seeking out friends for egg donation but without luck. Time is running out for me and my husband. This is the main reason that I'm leaving you this message. I'm hoping that my husband and I could talk to you a bit further more privately. If you could, please email me at yyy308@gmail.com. Thanks
