How Lisa became our Egg Donor

After conversations with Brett and Raylene we found that the best option for us and the
perfect "fit" for our family was Raylenes very close friend Lisa. Brett and I had met Lisa a few times that year before all of this through Baseball as she plays on the same team as Raylene and our friend Nina. We always thought Lisa was fantastic and a very sweet lady. We sat down with Lisa and Raylene and chatted about this entire process and Brett and I got to know Lisa better and had a chance to find out what compelled her to want to help us out. She said it was very easy answer, She said she loves being a mother and she wanted to share the incredible feeling of parenthood with two deserving dads. It was so pure, so honest and exactly what we wanted to hear. Brett and I have been very particular during this entire process. We want to be able to look back on all of this and know that everyone involved wanted this baby in the world just as much as we did and for all the right reasons. We found that in Lisa and we are forever indebted to her.

I am not sure if you know the process for an egg donor, but it is not exactly a fun process. Lisa had to go though an extensive screening process, counselling and daily injections to get her body ready for the egg retrieval and the retrieval process is not the most pleasant experience.
