Why do you want to become an egg donor?

After being a surrogate, I find myself spending majority of my time thinking about how I can continue to help grow families.

Who are you closest to in your family and why?

I am closest with my children. Being a single mom, most of my time is spent taking care of and hanging out with them. They are who I always want to be with and feel most grateful to be around.

What was the defining moment that made you choose your field of study/career path?

I am not currently working the job I always dreamed of, but I am working a job that best fits for my family. My job allows me to be present for my children like I am a stay at home parent, while still being able to support us and that is more than I could ask for. In another life, I would be living out my dream as a police officer.

If you could tell the intended parents who are considering you one thing, what would it be?

I would like to say that my biggest concern while applying to be an egg donor is the fact that I did not go to college. I think that may be a big "selling point" for some, but I believe I am still a great candidate because the years I would've been in school, I spent experiencing other parts of life. I was raising children, creating a loving home, and figuring out how to navigate my reality. I am proud of what I have been able to accomplish so far and I know there is so much good in me, despite not having a furthered education because I look at the two little people that were once one of my eggs and they are the kindest, most respectful, curious and ambitious human beings. Also the cutest!!

I would love to visit Iceland to see the glaciers & blue lagoon.
