In this episode, we delve into the critical considerations for selecting an egg donor and understanding genetics. 

Reflecting on my own journey, I share practical advice and offer reframes on common fears about donor selection and genetic traits. 

The conversation also covers the influence of epigenetics and the impact of the intended parent's environment on the baby's development.

Key Learnings:

  • Genetics Uncertainty: Understanding that genetics are unpredictable and choosing a donor with similar traits doesn't guarantee your child will resemble you.
  • Epigenetics Impact: The unique chemistry of the intended parent carrying the child plays a significant role in the baby's development.
  • Child-Centered Approach: Emphasizing the importance of selecting a donor with young age and good health, and considering the benefits of an open ID or known donor.
