My friend didn't mind. She wanted that $$$, so she was willing to go along with whatever the couple and clinic wanted. This was all preliminary, wayyy before she went through the hormones. If the couple decided they didn't want my friend as their donor, they simply said "thank you" and moved on. You'd be surprised at the number of girls on my campus who actually signed up to do this.

Exactly. Vicky (my friend) was very blonde as a child. As she grew up, her hair got darker and her Asian features became more dominant than her European features. Lucky for her, the couple she donated to had similar ethnic backgrounds. The child she helped create is now 5, I believe.
