Hi Mary Beth,
First of all welcome to this site. There is so much information and support from the women here. They helped me a great deal going through my journey. I do suggest reading and posting on the donor egg thread. You will also find alot of info there. I have a 5 year old son I conceived naturally. Since he was 6 months old I have been trying to conceive another. After trying 5 IVF cycles with my own eggs I decided to go with an egg donor. I'm currently 9 weeks pregnant. The most important thing for me was to have a sibling for my son. As far as this baby not having my DNA, I do not even think about that. This baby is getting everything he or she needs to grow from me. As far as blending into your family, of course it will. You are giving birth to this baby and raising it from the start. How could it not fit in? As far as telling the child, I feel the child deserves to know the truth. I guess it all depends on the reasons you want to have another baby. Using an egg donor is a big decision and one that you must be totally comfortable with. I know I made the right decision. I wish you the best in yours.
