'My eggs have helped three women become mothers — I’d love to meet the kids one day'
Rosie HopegoodMUM-of-two Leanne Hancock's life changed forever when she heard an advert on the radio talking about becoming an egg donor.
It sounds silly, but I’d always assumed people got pregnant easily. I’d conceived twice without any problems: my daughter Elise was born in January 2004 and my son Nyle was born in January 2009. I’d married my husband in 2007, and while we split in 2018, I loved being a mum. Life with the children was a welcome contrast to my job as a funeral director. While it is rewarding being there for people during their most difficult times, it can be heavy going.
I already knew any baby born from my eggs wouldn’t be my child, but the counsellor told me the law around egg donation changed in 2005. When they turn 18, all children born from a donor have the right to contact the woman who donated the egg. But hearing this information didn’t change my mind.
