Here are some tips for all intended parents who are embarking upon building their family through egg donation.
Choose a clinic
One of the most important decisions you will face when expanding your family through egg donation is where to go for treatment. Select a clinic where you feel honored, respected, and cared for. With that should come a physician or team of physicians who have your best interests in mind. The rapport and relationship you develop with your physician is critical. Look for a doctor who is going to be kind, caring, compassionate, and above all, willing to partner with you during your treatment.

Select an egg donor
This can often be the most overwhelming part of the whole egg donation experience. The bottom line: Do your homework, research, ask questions, and if something doesn’t sit well, listen to your gut.
Hire an attorney and draw up a legal contract
Even if you decide to use the clinic’s egg donor pool or a family member, get a legal contract between yourself and your egg donor. Why? To protect you and your egg donor.
