Contacting the donor?

I was told I needed to wait 2 years, but decided to get started at 22 months in case there was a lot of red tape. Today I found out it's only 1 year for US donors.
The suggested an anonymous form letter. I wanted full contact immediately, and there was a form for that also, but it came with some warnings leaning toward contacting a complete stranger, maybe he/she will think they are owed something or contact me too much or call for unwanted media attention. Does anyone have experience with contacting a donor? I want to think the person has to be overly generous and a good Samaritan. How could this person be greedy or crazy? I'm thinking it doesn't matter so much, they deserve a thank you and to know how they changed my life and my wife/daughters... But would it mean just as much if it were anonymous?

I've contacted my donor and things have been okay. I went through the donor registry to ask if he wanted to get to know me. He did and all is good.

My husband contacted his donor and they are friends to this day and it has been 10 years. We recently flew out to thier baby shower and they were present at our wedding. Him and his wife are like family. He thinks it was nothing but to my husband and our family it was the world that he gave us. You should contact your donor and let them know how grateful you are.

WOW! Some awesome stories here(wiping tears away) Marina. I hope you get a response. Some people , however want to remain anonymous for whatever reason. Just let them know how grateful you are , as I am sure you have done and know that now because of their unselfish act, many people are much happier now.
As for me, I get the privilege of being my own donor so contacting him won't be a problem. I know where I am every minute. :) But I will miss out on the blessing you all receive by knowing your donors and having a relationship with them.
