Healthy egg donor

Commonly, egg donors must be a certain age, usually 21, and be no more than 35. The lower limit ensures that a woman can legally enter into a contract. Some programs prefer to use donors who have already given birth or successfully donated eggs. It is believed that they are more likely to be fertile and it is easier to anticipate their feelings about having genetic offspring born to someone else.

This is one of the most important criteria you should always bear in mind. All our egg donor are medically, genetically and psychologically screened. So you can be sure that you will choose a healthy egg donor. Also, you can find their reproductive history in their profile and the outcome of prior donations if they had donated before. If you are a male couple desiring to share the eggs, it’s important to select an egg donor who produced enough eggs during her past donations cycles to accommodate this.

Anonymous egg donation

Anonymous donation: These donors will remain unknown to the recipient. Intended parents will not be given any contact information.

A core part of the egg donation process is that each donor understands and is accepting of her role. She is donating her eggs to a growing family, not expanding her own (at this time). Egg donors in anonymous programs do not typically agree to a relationship with the intended parents and/or baby. These parameters are in place to respect the wishes of egg donors. After the donation, their part in the process is complete.

The amount of information available about an anonymous donor can vary widely.  Depending, you might have access to adult photos, childhood photos, and the donor’s written answers to questions about her personality, hobbies, talents, and interests.

Personal preferences

Social and cultural background: Many of you would like to find an egg donor who has a similar social/cultural background like you so the future child will fit well in your social/cultural community.

Educational background: Some intended parents would like to have children who will have in the future great grades at school and at university. That is pretty understandable. Our profiles will show you the educational history of each egg donor.

Physical traits: This part is like going on a dating site. There is no right or wrong and the physical preferences are very different from individual to individual. For many couples it’s important that the egg donor looks similar to them.
All our egg donors have pictures of them in their profiles. Some even gave us pictures of their extended family or made a small video for you.
