What kind of person becomes an egg donor?
Many different types of women chose to become donors. Often, the donor is a young mother or a full time student who finds donation a way to supplement her income and satisfy her unselfish desires at the same time. All donors undergo thorough screening before being accepted into the program. For more information on donor screening click here. What about ovum/egg donor brokers? What are they and why would I want to use one? Here at RMA, we carefully recruit and screen young women who meet our stringent criteria. Some recipients may prefer to use an outside agency to select a donor. This is certainly an option and we will work with outside agencies. These agencies may have carefully screened their applicants, or they may not have done screening at all. In these cases, we will review the donor’s records and if necessary, we may request that the donor undergo additional tests. Can I use my friend/sister/niece/etc to be my egg donor? Yes, provided that she undergoes the same screening tests
