Anonymous Egg Donor: Loves animals...dogs in particular, and rescues
greyhounds. She loves to sew, and enjoys reading
mysteries, while eating cookies. Loves the
out-of-doors, and is very active, but not athletic. She enjoys
hiking, rock climbing, camping-especially snow camping. She loves
music, and loves to dance. She enjoys classical music and country
western, and is very proficient with a recorder, and also plays at
the piano, and sings. Her entire family is very musical.
Bio Dad: enjoyed a
great deal of mountain biking, cross country biking, running,
down-hill, cross-country, and skate skiing. He enjoys camping and
the out-of-doors, and frequenting good restaurants (before kids). He
loves to read, and is always reading. He is a history buff, but also
reads a variety of novels, migrating towards elegant writing as a
preference. He also enjoys spending a great deal of time
researching, researching, researching. As a child, he read
encyclopedias!
One of bio dad's greatest talents is that he has
an incredible singing voice. He gets asked regularly to sing in
situations where a crooning voice is wanted. On one occasion, he was
singing around a voice teacher and got invited to go to Switzerland
to sing in an opera.

| how many babies were conceived from this
procedure |
Donors chose to let all embryos develop to
blastocyst phase. Not sure how many eggs they
started with maybe 23 (?). Fourteen (14) made it
to blastocyst stage. While they prepared for the
transfer one hatched so that it could not be
transferred, leaving 13. They transferred two
(IVF). Both resulted in live births. There were 11
remaining- 7 were used by adopters with 4 now
remaining. The embryologist said that they were
the highest quality of embryos he had ever seen.
Egg Donor has amazing eggs. |
| anything else? |
Egg donor donated to a total of 4 couples. Only one
embryo did not turn into a live birth. So, out of 8
embryos transferred, 7 resulted in live births as
of 1999.

sense of humor--was very quick-witted--always making people
laugh and is fairly voluptuous
