About this work
Description
Victoria Hopewell was a forty-something divorcee when she met and married a longtime bachelor whose ninety-year-old parents were anxiously awaiting a grandchild. Yet even though Victoria had two young daughters from a previous marriage, her eggs were aging faster than her healthy hormones and youthful appearance would suppose. Desperate to bear a child, willing to undergo any procedure, she is blocked at every corner of medical protocol. Finally she considers a donor egg. Placed on a lengthy waitlist, Victoria and her husband embark on a surrealistic egg donor hunt. Follow her insider's account of the hidden world of egg donation--where women's eggs are bought and sold over the Internet, you can go on blind egg dates to meet a potential donor, or you can breed future superstars with the eggs from musical divas and Olympic athletes. Victoria's experiences offer a useful shopper's guide for any prospective donor egg consumer and spotlight questionable practices in today's unregulated donor egg marketplace.--From publisher description.
