Leila, American Egg Donor in Athens, Georgia, USA

Why I want to be an egg donor:

I wish to become an egg donor to provide hope to couples or individuals who otherwise, would not be able to conceive children on their own. As a parent, I have experienced no greater joy in life than becoming a mother. Above an other accomplishment I have achieved in life, giving birth to and raising my daughter is one of the most sacred and rewarding experiences of my life and my husband's as well. It is my wish, that no family, no matter the size, make-up or situation is deprived of this experience. In addition to helping and providing hope to others, the compensation will greatly aid in my pursuit of my educational goals and fulfilling my dreams for the future, which ultimately (and ironically), begins and ends with helping those in need.

Description of myself:

I am an Ivy League graduate from Columbia University. Currently pursuing Master's of Science in Forensic Psychology. After my husband graduates UGA Law School, we plan to move to New York City, where he will work in a high profile corporate law firm that has been recruiting him while I pursue my PhD/MD from Columbia University Medical School. I am a former NCAA Division 1 Athlete and Captain of Columbia University's Track and Cross-Country teams. I am an extremely passionate humanitarian and am highly driven and determined in everything I do. I am also an accomplished writer and visual artist, who also plays the piano and flute. I am a very proud mother and wife, and would do anything for my family.
