Money Money Money . . . Money!

I love that theme song from the Apprentice, I think it is called "The Love of Money" by the O'Jays. It's amazing how everyone has an opinion with regard to what other people do with their money. I received an email today telling me what a horrible person I am for running a search offering $100,000 for an egg donor. This is normal. And while I understand that there are some valid concerns regarding compensation amounts given to egg donors (another meaty topic to cover later), I do not set the compensation amount, my clients do. I have even been known to try and talk some clients out of offering such large sums of money. But, the fact of the matter is that I am dealing with a section of society that is well off and they want to compensate their donors well for the precious gift they are giving them. Previously our ads looking for donors stated that the compensation could be paid directly to the donor OR to the charity of her choice. Would people feel better if we still said that? Perhaps people would rather see $100,000 spent on a child's birthday party or a Sweet 16? The fact of the matter is, I represent intended parents who are able to compensate a woman $100,000 for her time and effort in donating her eggs, and I will support them in doing that, there are a lot more frivolous things people could be spending their money on.
