Donor Conception
Looking to Become an Egg Donor or Surrogate? Here’s How
Eloise Edington | 1 Jun 2022
At Fertility Help Hub, we know the selfless gift that egg donors and surrogates give intended parents struggling with fertility. For some, using donor eggs or a surrogate is a last resort, for others, it’s the clear path to parenthood.
Not everyone who comes to our fertility community is trying to conceive, though. Some people are looking to donate eggs or offer surrogacy support and wondering how to become an egg donor or surrogate. Here, we’ve turned to VitaNova Technologies to guide us through how to donate eggs and be a surrogate.
VitaNova Technologies (view their profile here and their website here) is a fertility-focused technology company founded in 2019 and based in the US. It informs intended surrogates and egg donors of the process, and provides a personalized, tailored service to everyone who walks through their doors. Each surrogate or egg donor is matched with a suitable agency to help them give this wonderful gift to intended parents.
Over to VitaNova Technologies.
How to Become an Egg Donor or Surrogate
Whether you are interested in becoming a surrogate or an egg donor, at VitaNova Technologies we know how arduous applying to fertility agencies can be. It can be hard to know what to look for in a surrogacy agency or a fertility clinic and even when you do decide with which fertility clinic you’ll donate your eggs or be a surrogate, they are likely to have different application forms and processes.
With us, long gone are the days of applying to each fertility agency separately. Simply fill in our form and we will do the shopping for you. Better yet, there is no cost to you at any stage.
We make the process of becoming an egg donor or surrogate easy. There are five simple steps:
- Fill out our application form
- Meet with our helpful team
- We then present your file to a wide range of fertility agencies
- We will then review the offers with you
- You choose the agency that best suits you
What to Expect When Becoming an Egg Donor or Surrogate
We take privacy very seriously. The data you provide from filling out the application form on our website is incredibly secure and safe as it is saved on the AWS cloud and is encrypted. The VitaNova Technologies team reviews your application and contacts you for a virtual meeting.
In this meeting, we will discuss any questions we might have about your answers on the form and this can be a good opportunity to discuss the process more fully and raise any queries.
We will then create an egg donor or surrogate profile (no identifying features are revealed) which is presented to a number of our trusted egg donor or surrogate agencies. This process takes a couple of weeks but can be longer.
Once we hear back from the fertility agencies we will provide you with a selection of suitable intended parents (and their requirements) you can choose from. There is no pressure to select any of these presented intended parents; the decision of who you help is yours. We will also explain the contract and payment options available.
Our goal is to ensure your decision is an informed one that matches your needs and wants in becoming an egg donor or surrogate. As a potential egg donor or surrogate, your comfort and safety are our top priorities which is why we connect the fertility agencies directly, on your behalf. Only after the agency and/or intended parents have been selected do we connect you. At this stage, the agency will take over, but VitaNova Technologies is never far. Should you ever have questions or concerns about your surrogacy or egg donation journey, we are at hand, ready to help.
We provide this matching service between fertility agencies and potential surrogates and egg donors for free. There is no payment to VitaNova Technologies – our mission is to ensure that egg donors and surrogates are fully informed and have an equal opportunity with all surrogacy agencies.
How to Find an Egg Donor or Surrogate
In addition to providing assistance to gestational surrogates, we also offer professional services to Intended Parents.
For families that are still looking for the right egg donor or surrogate to join them on their fertility journey, we have the ability to review our database of surrogate or egg donor profiles in an effort to find them a suitable match (or matches). The process is simple.
First, we learn more about the Intended Parents’ unique needs, wants, and wishes and then we use that information to filter and narrow down search results. Pending a successful match, we then collect a flat fee.
Should you or anyone you know be interested in speaking to us about this service, contact us directly at info@vitanovatech.com or visit our website for more information.
Becoming an egg donor or surrogate can feel overwhelming but it doesn’t have to be. With VitaNova Technologies, the process of becoming an egg donor or surrogate is simple.
