Camille Guatyis reflecting on her first impressions of using an egg donor before welcoming her son Morrison Rafael, who is now 2 years old.
The Rookieactress, 45, opened up about her road to motherhood during a virtual discussion withSurvivoralum Jaclyn Misch as part ofthe Fertility Rally Livevirtual event on Saturday. She gave birth to her first child with husband Sy Rhys Kaye on Oct. 5, 2019.
Guaty admitted she resisted the idea of an egg donor at first.
“Whenever somebody would bring up a donor, I felt the worst jealousy in the world,” she said during the panel. “I felt like my husband was gonna be cheating on me with this woman, and I wouldn’t have any part of this relationship at all, and being just ‘the vessel’ felt horrible.”

The mom recalled when her doctor suggested the donor route, saying she was “so shocked that he would say that in front of my husband.”

“Because there’s something about it that to me had nothing to do with him, but everything to do with it being my fault; what wasn’t working with me, what was making me broken,” she explains. “And this doctor was validating that, all of my fears. He was validating that in front of my husband. Immediately, I was like, ‘No, no, no, we’re not even going to discuss it.’ "
“I don’t regret my journey at all because I would never have my little boy that I have now, but let’s not put so much importance on our careers,” she said. “Let’s think about our family and our life.”
“I have never laughed so hard!!! Your smile lights up my world,” she continued. “For all of you waiting for you’re [sic] miracle, know God’s timing is everything and far more knowing then [sic] you can ever imagine. Trust in the waiting. I can tell you from experience…I cant imagine life without You.”
