Thinking about becoming an egg donor? It’s a rewarding journey, but it’s essential to understand the process, especially the Egg Donor Profile. This program is designed to maintain anonymity, meaning that donors and recipients don’t meet. Instead, the only connection comes through the Donor Profile, a detailed document that includes everything from your personal and family medical history to your interests, educational background, and life goals.
When you fill out the Donor Profile, it’s super important to be honest and thorough. Don’t rush it! This profile is the sole tool that recipients will use to choose their egg donor, so every detail counts. Remember, incomplete profiles won’t be accepted.
Tips for Filling Out Your Donor Profile
For those who have already applied or are considering it, here are a few tips to streamline your experience. First off, make sure to include high-quality photos. While you’re not required to submit adult photos, you’ll need at least five childhood pictures (ages 4 to 11 are ideal) and two adult photos. If you choose to share adult photos, keep them professional—no selfies and avoid any identifying backgrounds or items.
