Selecting an egg donor is one of the hardest decisions you will ever face. With so many different factors to consider during the donor selection process. It is important to think about what qualities mean the most to you and your partner. When you’re looking through donor profiles try to gain a sense of the donor’s personality. How the donor answers questions such as ‘What is your favorite sport?’ can give you more insight into her personality than whether or not she says soccer or lacrosse. I recommend choosing a donor that you can relate to or feel that you could be friends with. When looking at donor profile after profile. It can be easy to get caught up in finding someone that matches everything on your checklist. Try not to focus too much on one specific trait. Whether that includes height, eye color, ethnicity, Ivy League schools, or additional characteristics. Parents who loosely follow their checklist and select a donor ‘that feels just right’ are typically the happiest in the long run.
