Michelle, American Egg Donor in Olympia, Washington, USA

Why I want to be an egg donor:

I am hoping to help people who are ready to give their love to a child.

Description of myself:

I am an active individual who believes that knowledge is never ending. I strive to be the best parent I can while also completing my education. I served in the military and believe that helping others is fundamental in creating a beautiful world.

My letter to intended parents:

Growing up I knew little of what I wanted to do. I found myself joining the military to not only buy time for big decisions but also to improve my character. Now that I am a civilian again I am focusing on my family and myself. I have two beautiful children, a wonderful husband, and am a full time student with intentions of continuing for my PhD. I am constantly putting myself into busy situations to test myself and my abilities. I have realized that though I am active in my community and my family, I am capable of giving more to people. Children are amazing and really allow people to see who they are. Before children we create this idea of how raising them will be. Whether the intent is strict or compassionate, children test our ideas and allow us to adapt what will actually work. Between my first and second children I have learned a lot about parenting. What worked for my first is not for the other. Children are a gift in our lives and I am hoping to allow others who are unable the chance to experience and share the love they have to offer.
