Local Donations

Both the donor and the Intended Parents are both in the same town as the clinic. Many Intended Parents choose this type of arrangement to help minimize travel costs.

Long Distance/International Donations
The donor and/or the Intended Parent are located in a different city, state, or country from the clinic. More than 75% of our donations are long distance. We are very familiar with the rigid requirements that many clinics have and do our best to meet all of these. In this case, we arrange for the donor to travel as necessary to your clinic. We also usually establish a local monitoring center in the donors hometown to be used and make all necessary travel arrangements so that your donor can follow your clinic’s medical protocol. We have several partners with airlines, hotels, etc. to help minimize these costs and will do our best to make this a smooth process.

Donations Using a Surrogate
We regularly facilitate donations with several different surrogacy agencies and surrogates. For more information on surrogacy, please click the link that says surrogacy information.

We coordinate both anonymous and open donations. Our staff is very aware of many Intended parents desire for complete anonymity and we assure that no identifying information is ever given out without Intended Parents permission. We have worked with celebrity clientele as well and therefore our policy on this is very secure. Here are the different types of cycles that we coordinate:

Anonymous
In an anonymous donation, the Intended Parents and Donor never meet, speak, or exchange identifying information. The donor is given a code which will serve as her name and the Intended Parents will call the donor by this. Intended Parents may offer a brief information page to the donor so that she feels comfortable with the couple that she is donating to but this is up to the Intended Parents and is not always done. There will be no contact between the Intended Parents and the Donor in this type of arrangement.
Semi-Anonymous-
In a semi-anonymous donation, the Intended Parents and Donor will be given each others first names. Last names will be kept anonymous. If Intended Parents would like, a phone conversation may be set up with the donor which will be coordinated by the agency so that neither party’s phone number will be given out. Also, email communication can be facilitated thru the agency so that both parties can communicate with one another without revealing their personal email address. This is an option that we can work out if desired.

Open
In an open donation, the Intended Parent’s and Donor’s identity will be revealed to one another. They may choose to have a meeting in person, have a phone conversation with their donor, or have communication directly via email. This is arranged on a case by case basis.

We are able to accommodate almost any request, so feel free to ask! If you have additional questions about the types of donations that we coordinate, feel free to contact our office.
