The donor learned about this program from an acquaintance who had also been an oocyte donor and recommended it to her. She decided to give it a try, motivated by the idea of ​​helping someone through a good deed while also receiving compensation for herself.
The donor holds a specialized secondary education qualification; she is a primary school and English language teacher. After graduating from pedagogical college, she enrolled in a university correspondence course to continue her education. However, she later realized she was not gaining practical foreign language skills under that study format, so she decided to discontinue her studies. She believes it is better to improve her English proficiency effectively through various seminars, workshops, and professional development courses. She currently works as a teacher at a general education school.
The donor does not currently live with her husband. She is essentially raising her daughter on her own; she speaks of her with great warmth, describing her as a lively, inquisitive, interesting, and active girl—as well as pretty, cheerful, and positive. Her child is her joy and the meaning of her life, as well as her primary motivation for personal growth and self-improvement.
The donor currently lives with her grandmother, brother, and mother. However, her mother is rarely at home because she is a military service member and is constantly on duty. Her mother has been serving in the army for 12 years, so she is usually only home when on leave.
The donor has a younger half-brother from her mother's second marriage. She grew up without a father figure in her life; her biological father refused to acknowledge her, took no part in her upbringing, showed no interest in her life, and had no contact with her. As an adult, she tried to reach out to him and wanted to meet him, but it never happened.
Her stepfather became the father figure in her life. Nine years younger than her mother, he became a friend and a respected, older companion to her; he was kind and attentive.
She describes an atmosphere of trust and warmth in her family. In her view, the most important things are mutual understanding and a willingness to listen to one another. She feels she can share anything with her grandmother, who listens, understands, and offers support.
As a child, the donor was active, inquisitive, and energetic. She did well in school and was a well-mannered, level-headed girl. She has engaged in sports and dance throughout her life. She feels she perhaps lacked the persistence—or the authoritative guidance from her mother—to pursue dance more seriously, as her mother worked long hours. She describes herself as hardworking, goal-oriented, and conscientious, though not particularly assertive or pushy.
In conversation, the donor is typically friendly, calm, and modest. She is pleasant, open, and sincere. She is a balanced, composed, and sensible person, while also being kind, gentle, sweet, and caring.
