Yay... We Found Our Donor! Donor 4174

I am so happy tonight because we finally found our donor! It's been an emotional roller coaster ride for me and I feel relieved and excited and overwhelmed and nervous all at the same time. My husband and I can finally begin our journey towards building our family. I am thanking God for the opportunity he has blessed us with and I would like to thank the donor for being so generous and kind. He has given us a gift that we will forever be grateful for. Of course, I also thank my husband for also being so generous and kind enough to allow me to experience being a mom in this way even though the child will not be biologically his. Has anyone else used Donor 4174? I would love to hear from you.

It is a hard process because there are so many great guys. What mattered most to me was if he bore some resemblance to my husband, health, intelligence (because my husband has many lawyers in the family and I have doctors, engineers, and lawyers in mine), height (again we both have relatives over 6 feet tall), and the indescribable gut feeling I got when I read his essay questions; kind of like oh yeah, that sounds like something my husband would do or be intrested in or yeah, that is his family all the way. It took me over a year to find my donor and it was a heartbreaking process at times. Don't give up though. If you need support, the ladies on here are great. Make a list of things you are looking for and see who matches the best and shop around. There are so many different sperm banks out there and some of them even do free face matching service. Good luck
Also, if any other folks out there have had positive or challenging experiences, pregnancies, births or children with donor 4174, I would very much appreciate hearing from you! Thanks!
