What qualities do parents look for in an egg donor? Though there are many requirements for becoming an Egg Donor, there is no exact formula for what makes a woman the “perfect” Egg Donor. Every family has a unique set of qualities that they are seeking in a donor. Some parents may want an Egg Donor who resembles themselves or their partner. Others may choose to focus more on talents, educational degrees, or a genetic connection through ethnicity or race.
- There is no such thing as the “perfect” egg donor.
- Parents may choose an egg donor based on physical resemblance, talent, personality, cultural background, and education.
- Having a detailed donor profile will help create a successful match.
- An egg donor can choose to have a close, semi-open, or opened donation
