The probability of finding everything you want in one egg donor is low. Intended parents are encouraged to approach the experience with an open mind. The egg donors should be smart, giving and caring women who want to help you achieve your dream of building your family. Through the egg donor database. Intended parents can filter egg donors by hair color, height, age, eye color, weight, education, experience, and ethnicity—the possibilities are endless. Others choose donors who look like the parent who isn’t biologically connected to the child. For example, if you have dark hair and blue eyes. You may want to choose an egg donor based on those criteria. Some intended parents choose based on personal interests, talents, personality, or intellect. Many times we counsel parents to find an egg donor who could “fit in” with the family and has similar traits to the intended parents.

Such an informative post. I myself am going through this process and I can relate to her on so many levels. The clinic we are getting our surrogacy done from also gave us access to the egg donor database. They have 100+ donors on that database. We didn’t know how difficult it would be to choose. I didn’t know on what level were we to see things. It took us a lot of time to decide as well. We wanted to have a donor who was open so that later if our child does ask or inquire about the woman we could try to contact her.

It’s up to you. They’ll show you the profile. They’ll show you the data. It’s your decision that which you want to go with. It’s really easy. Don’t worry about it. Just take good care of yourself. Doctors are going to help you in this matter. Take you decision wisely. Everything is going to be alright with you. Take good care of yourself.

hi, hope so you are doing great. This is a really positive post. I really appreciate. WOW! I am really happy to know about this. So happy that she didn’t lose hope. My sister was unable to conceive naturally. So she chose surrogacy. She lives in Europe. Europe has best clinics. Now she is blessed with a baby girl. We just have to handle the situation calmly. And not lose hope. Better things are coming. Just waiting for the perfect moment. My best wishes for her future.

Hey dear. Hope you are doing great. I know These procedures are difficult for the donors. They get enough money. But the pain is real. the child has their genes. So they obviously have an attraction to them. It’s really difficult to avoid it. They are very brave to spread happiness amongst others. Selecting them is really difficult. I can feel the stress. But the choice really matters on your priorities. Just decide on the things that seem important to you. I wish you guys luck. May God bless.

To me it was about accepting the idea itself. Knowing that you will never have a baby of your own kills. My husband convinced me that a parent is one who raise a child not the one whose eggs are used or who gives birth. It’s tough indeed but I accepted this. An egg donor database of fertility center we chose for treatment was huge. More than 400 young women, although I’m not sure they all are available for stimulation. I was assured all of them are healthy and gave birth to at least one child with no complications. The task was to choose appearance and this wasn’t easy. Each egg donor profile also has video interview, this was helpful. I then decided that she must be well educated and have a nice voice. The one we chose was available for stimulation and later gave eggs that resulted in good embies. I can’t be happier
