Hi ladies.
I'm considering becoming an egg donor for a friend and though I'm very happy to do this for them as I know they will be very good parents and truly love and care for that baby, I still fear that I will not be able to detach myself enough from that child. I'm afraid I will always see or look for similarities to me or my own children and that essentially I won't really see that child as my friend's but as my own.
Is this a normal fear or does this mean I shouldn't be her donor?
We are close friends and the reality would be that I probably will see that child frequently.
If anyone has had first hand experience of this it would be great to hear from you.
Thanks!
