So, you’ve decided to explore the option of using an egg donor—exciting times ahead! In the latest Fertility Flash, it’s highlighted that the bond you form with your child isn’t determined by shared DNA. It’s all about the love and nurturing you provide. Donors play a vital role, often motivated by a mix of altruism and the financial compensation they receive.
At our agency, we make sure each donor undergoes a psychological assessment, which includes a test to gauge personality traits, honesty, and reliability. This helps ensure that we match you with someone who aligns with your expectations.
How to Select the Right Donor
Now, how do you go about selecting the right donor? It can seem overwhelming, but I suggest you go with your gut. Look for the donor profile that resonates with you—someone who catches your eye and feels like a good fit. She might not look exactly like you, but it should be someone you could easily imagine as a friend or even your future daughter. The goal is to choose someone you believe would be a fantastic addition to your child’s life.
If you’re in a relationship, it might be helpful for each of you to review donor profiles separately first. After that, come together to discuss your favorites. This way, you can make choices without feeling pressured by one another. Remember, there’s no such thing as a “perfect donor,” but that shouldn’t stop you from having the “perfect child.”
