  2. Selecting an egg donor is one of the most pivotal and emotionally complex decisions in the surrogacy process. For same-sex couples, single parents, or heterosexual couples experiencing infertility, it’s not merely a technical step—it’s a decision that can influence family identity, the sense of parenthood, and in some cases, the child’s future self-perception. In a world where advanced fertility treatments open doors to parenthood through various paths, it’s crucial to approach the donor selection process with awareness, compassion, and accurate information. 2

  3. Key Considerations When Choosing an Egg Donor 1. Medical and Genetic Background Medical evaluation is the foundation of any egg donation process. It is vital to ensure the donor has undergone a comprehensive screening process, including: • Personal and family medical history, with attention to hereditary genetic conditions • Complete serological testing (e.g., HIV, Hepatitis, CMV) • Fertility assessment, such as ovarian reserve and egg quality (AMH, AFC) 2

  4. 2. Physical and Ethnic Characteristics Many intended parents seek donors with visual resemblance to the non-biological parent—eye color, skin tone, facial structure, or ethnic background. Still, it is important to recognize that genetics is a complex and unpredictable science. Focusing solely on physical traits may lead to unrealistic expectations. 3. Intelligence, Education, and Personality Egg donors are usually asked to complete detailed personal profiles, including information on education, lifestyle, interests, and psychological attributes. While these factors may help some intended parents feel a stronger connection to the donor, there’s no guaranteed correlation between the donor’s personality and the future child’s traits. 2

  5. What Can You Let Go Of? 📌 The “Perfect Profile” – There’s no such thing as a perfect donor. Overanalyzing or chasing an ideal can become emotionally exhausting. In most cases, differences between high-quality donors have little to no impact on pregnancy outcomes or the child’s future development. 📌 Cultural or Personal Fantasies – It’s important to differentiate between fantasy and clinical reality. The real criteria to focus on are health, availability, medical compatibility, and your comfort level with the decision. Professional Support – Your Key to a Confident Decision Choosing an egg donor is not something you need to navigate alone. A reputable agency will offer multidisciplinary support—medical, psychological, legal—to provide clarity, ease concerns, and ensure your decisions are guided by knowledge rather than stress or uncertainty. 2
