I just got word from my RE that I can write a letter to the woman who is donating her eggs to me. In the Czech Republic, women are not compensated (other than covering the medical expense) and the donor and recipient must remain anonymous so this is my only chance to say thank you. (And I can send her flowers as well)
BUT how do I possibly convey how much I appreciate what she is doing for me and my husband. I'm having writers block I think because this is my only chance to communicate with her. Help!!

@susykat77 - Gosh... yea that'd be hard. Here's what popped into my mind (the middle part you'd have to write obviously haha). Best of luck to you. That sure is an undertaking I'm sure whatever you write, it'll be perfect!
Dear Donor,
How can I put into words what I am feeling? Long and short... I can't! It's an impossible feat. The joy, gratitude, relief, excitement all course through me in abundance today. I can never fully communicate the extent to which your generosity and selflessness have impacted my life, and that of my future family. You are, simply put, incredible.
about you + hubby + what you hope to provide for this child's life
My husband and I have longed for a family for a long time now, and your selfless act of love is the biggest blessing we could have asked for. Thank you from the deepest depths of our hearts. One cannot even understand the despair one feels when dealing with infertility. You have given us hope once again, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
