Deciding on who you want as your egg donor is a big decision. Find solace in knowing that there’s no right or wrong way to choose an egg donor. Selecting a donor is a very personal decision, as is the criteria on which you base your decision. Known donation is becoming more popular. It allows communication and contact between intended parents (IP) and donors. You can carry on the relationship to your agreed-upon level of comfort during the process. Some intended parents and egg donors continue their relationship after their journey is over, too. In an anonymous donation, you would not have contact or communication with your donor. The contracts would use only first names and all information would be exchanged through the agency. Getting to know your donor is considered to be beneficial for both you and your child. It helps your child to understand where they came from. Provides your child with a healthy sense of identity. And allows you and your child to remain updated about their genetic parent’s medical history as it changes over time.
