Can someone start as a Client Depositor and convert to a Directed Donor?
Yes. However, the testing requirements for a Directed Donor are different than the requirements for a Client Depositor (see above). The testing also has to be performed within a specified time period. We suggest that Client Depositors get all the testing that is required for a Directed Donor initially, so the Client Depositor can easily be converted to a Directed Donor. This is especially important if there is a chance that a Gestational Carrier may be used. If all the required testing was not completed for a Directed Donor, a Client Depositor could start the process over again as a Directed Donor.
