Deciding to Donate Your Eggs

In the last few months we have had an increase in the number of applicants who have changed their mind about donating in the midst of the application process. This can be very unnerving for the intended parents for two reasons. The first reason is that it is highly likely that the intended parents have already reviewed your application and have mentally decided you may be a strong possible match. This can lead to great disappointment when you change your mind. Secondly, each time an applicant changes their mind about donating, it causes the intended parents great concern that the donor they ultimately select may change her mind during the donation process, leaving the intended parents heartbroken.

We understand that it is an applicant's prerogative to change her mind about such a serious decision, and we would never want an applicant to go forward with a donation she wasn't comfortable with. We also appreciate a change of heart that is made before entering an agreement to donate. However, we would like to strongly encourage our potential applicants to thoroughly consider what donating your eggs entails before submitting an application. Of course, we realize that the large compensation offered is quite an enticement to apply however, please consider the huge commitment involved. There are both physical and emotional ramifications to your decision to donate. It is quite easy to research the egg donation process online and we remain ready and available to answer any questions you may have. While we often have short deadlines, if you really do not understand what you are applying for, I would recommend you take your time to investigate the same before applying. You are welcome to email us to see if we can provide you with an extension to our posted deadline and alternatively, you can always wait for an upcoming search. We offer quite a few searches each year.

In summary, deciding to donate your eggs is a wonderful and highly appreciated gift to all of the intended parents out there, but it is not for everyone and we thank you for taking your time to thoroughly consider the same.
