Pamela, Filipino Egg Donor in Caloocan, Philippines

Why I want to be an egg donor:

As an 18 year old Nursing student, growing up in this generation is very awakening. Seeing people my age having babies yet not knowing how to raise a child and live up to their responsibilities. A lot of unprepared people are wasting the gift of life, when there are so many individuals and couples out there who yearn to bear a life of their own. And it came to me that I am capable of producing life, yet like many others, I am not ready for the all preparations there is. I am financially unstable, I haven't even finish my school yet, I am not ready to give up my teenage freedom, I am not ready for the responsibility, and most of all I am not emotionally and mentally ready to give birth and raise a child. And that is why I have decided to create this profile, because my body may be ready but I am not, and somewhere out there, is a couple/ individual longing to have a child of their own.

Description of myself:

People say that I'm fierce, beautiful, independent, intelligent, warm and a good leader; which I always aim to be. At a very young age I found myself fond into books, poetry, animals, music and art. I am not competitive but I am a goal getter and hard working. I always set my mind into something, I always set a goal to achieve, to keep me driven and disciplined. But of course I know when and how to have fun. I keep an alcohol, drug and smoke free lifestyle, I take good care of my body and provided extra care to my health. I am open minded, liberated, I excel in school and I am adaptive, I enjoy good arguments, exploring new things, adventures and feeding my curiosity. My hobbies include watching movies, listening to music, dancing alone hahaha, writing articles, road trip, trying things for the first time and reading books. I also rescue, feed, neuter stray dog and cats as I believe they deserve equal love, care, protection and rights as us humans. I have the softest spot for animals. I easily trust people that is why I am easily fooled and hurt, so I may seem tough now because through the years I've been managing to toughen up a little. I started renting my own place and providing the things that I need at the age 17 that gave me the opportunity to become practical and street smart. I may only stand 5ft2 but my younger brother who is 3 years younger than me is already 5ft7 so I guess my father side's tall genes did their job. Our family runs with fair complexion and average to good built. We may look chinitos and chinitas but we're pure filipinos. My father's mother is still alive in her late 80's while his father died on liver failure developed from his drinking problem. My mother's father is still alive in his late 70's and her mom is in her late 60's. For the cons, well I had my braces for 2 years now and I'm also not into sports but I love going to the gym and lifting weights. I have curly hair and bushy brows, I'm putting that in cons because I've been bullied because of it. Also I have tattoos that are tribute for my cats and an extension of my personality. Both of my parent's sides are religious, and they raised me to be one. In fact I've been into 2 religions. Espiritista at birth and I converted into Roman Catholic when I was in 8th grade. But I am now an atheist. I live with my morals, not by religion, I do what's right and good, I treat people the way they deserve to be and I always extend my help and appreciate the little things. I decided to be a good person because I wanted to, because my parents raised me to be, and not because my soul might burn in hell.

My letter to intended parents:

Hi, I'm Pamela but my friends call me Pam. I think you can call me Pam now... I don't have the right to say " I understand what you're going through right now" because there is no way for me to understand the least emotion you have because we've gone through different experiences, we process things differently but I can only imagine being in the same situation you are right now and say " I'd probably do the same". And I am thankful because you haven't stop trying and here we are. You have found me and gave me the chance to help you give the warm, nurturing love you have. Being able to give life is a gift but WANTING to give life and nurture it with love and provide what they need is a whole different thing. And as you are willing to go through this process, I am here to congratulate you because you are here pushing through the limits, exteding every possibilities and making sacrifices and that proves how a great parent you can be. I am honored to be part of your journey. I don't care about your gender or marital status, being brave to do this is enough proof that you want to have a baby and you deserve to have one. I am sure you'll be a great parent who is willing to do everything, whatever it takes to make sure your baby safe and loved. And through this process I am not only helping you but you are also helping me to grow as a person and I'll be carrying this experience forever. This is a life- changing experience for the both of us, and I cannot thank you enough for that.
