From those struggling with infertility to LGBTQ+ families, egg donation can offer hope to those who thought they'd never become a parent.
&w=3840&q=75)
For many individuals, couples and co-parents, the only hope of having a child is to use eggs donated by someone like you.
With a national shortage of healthy donor eggs and an increasing demand, your donation is needed now more than ever.
The decision to donate can be life-changing for not only you, but the people who receive your donated eggs, the children born as a result, and even for your own family if you choose to have one in the future. It is important to carefully consider this before moving forward.
