TMI ramble

I'm trying to read as much literature as I can on sperm donation, and it's valuable, but it's a little frustrating how almost all of it is directed at anonymous/semi-anonymous donation through banks, and next to nothing about known donation. And even then it's mostly about people whose donors are friends or in-laws. I get that known donation like what happens through the KDR is new and by its nature less mainstream. Still, I want there to be more research and literature than articles that don't go further than "oh but how will you know the gametes are of sufficient genetic quality if a for-profit corporation isn't involved? because clearly that's what's most important in creating a human being!"

I Donated My Eggs To My Aunt

Recently, we published this story about how things went south after a member donated her eggs to her aunt. Shortly after, this email popped into my inbox: Hi, I just read the heartbreaking story posted on We Are Egg Donors about a woman donating eggs to her aunt and having it go so horribly! I really think that is awful. I also donated to my aunt (my mother’s first cousin, to be technical). My experience was very different and has been very positive. If you have any interest in sharing another perspective on a similar situation, I’d be happy to share. -- Carter We are honored to share Carter’s story here.
