Why do you want to become an egg donor?
There is not a certain formula for family. Families come in all shapes and sizes, and that is a beautiful thing. I am inspired by those who are seeking an egg donor because it demonstrates such commitment and readiness to love a child, and I would be immensely grateful to get to be part of the journey of helping to start or grow a family. It truly would be a privilege.

Who are you closest to in your family and why?
I am lucky to be close to many members of my family, but I am closest to my older sister. As we have gotten older, we have bonded and connected in deeper ways and have really sought to understand each other not just as sisters, but as people. She has been there for me in difficult times and I know our bond is unbreakable.
-
What was the defining moment that made you choose your field of study/career path?
The defining moment for me was when I met a young woman from India who was telling me about her experience with her country’s justice system. It was then that I realized that other countries may have laws in place to protect against certain injustices, but without proper enforcement and a system that works to serve and protect its people, the laws do not really do much.
-
If you could tell the intended parents who are considering you one thing, what would it be?
I would want to tell the intended parents that I would not be going through the egg donor process if I wasn’t 100% sure about it. I would not be doing this if unless I was confident that I was doing it for the right reasons. Whether I am your egg donor or not, I genuinely wish you all the best on your journey.
