Donor Egg and Doner Sperm

Hello. I'm 44 and getting ready to do an IVF cycle with donor egg/sperm. My post is complicated so bear with... It has taken many years to get to this point and have regrets for not freezing my eggs or trying to do this with my own eggs when I was still "fertile." I was very uneducated about fertility. 
I was wondering if there were any other woman on this blog that could share their stories or words of advice for making the decision to do this and how you have or will explain it to the child and even those around you (if you are choosing to be open). At 44 and single, I'm certain people will wonder how this happened and will ask questions. Anyway, Of course, there is no guarantee this will work but I am hopeful and thrilled at the possibility to be a mother. The other side to this is that, for many reasons, I chose to go this route as opposed to adopting. But, there are family members who are adamantly opposed and are calling this route a sin. Should I feel guilty or that I am doing something "wrong?" Very confused.
