What is the difference between an open donation and an anonymous donation?
Open Donation: If you choose open donation, you will have an opportunity to meet the Recipients provided they are in agreement. Your first contact with the couple may be by telephone or an “in person” meeting, depending upon where the parties are located. Occasionally, the parties will choose to meet briefly at the clinic on the day of the retrieval. In most cases, no identifying or contact information is exchanged. Anonymous Donation: Some Egg Donors and Recipients prefer to remain anonymous, and we certainly respect their wishes. If that is your choice, you will have no contact with the couple for whom you donate.
