Hi all, we are in the middle of selecting donors. It feels like such a daunting process and so many options, all feel like a guess. We contacted a clinic in the UK but they don't provide donor pictures unlike US based such as Xytex. I tell myself it does not matter as long as the personal profile matches what we're looking for, but does it? My friend who herself is an egg donor said that she likes to get a 'feel' of what the person is like from the picture. Does he/she look like a warm or cold person, things like that.
For those of you who have been through this journey, did you insist on using donors who have pictures? What other characteristics do you seek? I can only think of open-id, education, race to match DH. That's about it. It is the most important decision of our lives but it makes us so uneasy with so little control. It's like choose and hope for the best scenario. Thanks in advance for any input you have :)
