Howdy everyone,
I am writing to you all to share some of the expierences I've encountered since we began our search for a donor. I am pleased that we received so many responses in return to our post. I am also learning that this is proving quite educational as well. We have encountered some wonderful people and some not so wonderful people. We were surprised at te willingness of married couples to help in out impending hopeful pregnancy. I never considered that a couple would want to help another couple to realize our dreams. It has truely been a humbling expierence. Although we are grateful for the donors that have reached out to us, we are Also quite shocked at the rudeness of some other potential donors. If we decided that a donor was just too far , or that we didn't meet their criteria or vice versa , we always replied nicely to say that we didn't feel we would be a good match and thanked them for even considering helping us. In return we were met with displeasing emails and downright rude messages. I don't understand really why someone would become angry at not being a right fit for us. There is someone for everyone in this difficult yet rewarding process and I never intended to receive such negativity. I know we are in a position where we need help from a donor to become pregnant but should that mean that we are to he degraded or expected to (pardon my language) "kiss ass" because of it? My wife and I are extremely grateful and excited that we ever even received responses in our search and I was very disheartened by a few. Not enough to make me give up but just enough to realize not everyone has the best intentions for everyone else. We are not deterred in our search and may have happy news after all through this. I just wondered of anyone else experiences these things and how do you handle it?
[from group owner ML: Some donors are better than others, but no-one
should be sending rude emails just because they weren't chosen as a donor. Please forward details of any inappropriate communications to
the moderators at FreeSpermDonors-Owner@yahoogroups.com
We receive as many complaints about recipients as about donors btw.
