Sue Adlam, 46, a primary teacher, and her husband Andrew, 39, from Wiltshire, have a three-year-old daughter, Georgina, conceived using donor eggs. Desperate for a sibling for her, they are searching for another egg donor.
"I couldn't have loved my own biological child more. She knows that Mummy really wanted a baby but didn't have an egg, so a nice lady gave me one of hers."
"Eleven [eggs] were frozen and we used two - and to our utter amazement and joy I finally got pregnant, aged 43."

TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:
Having Your Baby Through Egg Donation
by Ellen Sarasohn, Evelina Weidman Sterling
-- A comprehensive book for people considering parenthood through donated ova, and those supporting them.
It takes readers through the decision-making process, focusing on questions they are likely to be asking themselves, including: Are we candidates for egg donation? Will it work?
How much does it cost? How do we find a donor?
How do we talk about our decision with others? How will we tell our children? Ethical questions related to egg donation are also examined:
Can a donor truly have informed consent Is it ethically correct for donors to receive payment, and, if so, is the payment for 'time and effort' or for their eggs?
Hardcover: 384 pages

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost our precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted there will be no more babies in our house.
