Who are the Intended Parents?

Intended parents are often on a deeply personal and emotional journey to build their family. They might be facing challenges with fertility, dealing with genetic concerns, cancer diagnosis and/or navigating the complexities of their unique situations, like being in a same-sex relationship. Their dream of having a child is incredibly important and heartfelt.

When they seek out egg donation, they’re reaching out for a chance to make their dream a reality. The process involves not just medical procedures but also a profound connection. They’re looking for a selfless gift from someone like you—an egg donor—to help them create life and complete their family.

Sometimes, the journey doesn’t stop with egg donation. Intended parents may also need a gestational carrier, someone who will carry the pregnancy for them. This could be because of medical conditions or other circumstances that make carrying a pregnancy impossible, dangerous or impractical for them. For these parents, finding a gestational carrier means finding someone who can bring their embryo to life, helping them to finally hold the child they’ve dreamed of and longed for.

This whole process is more than just a series of medical steps; it’s a deeply emotional and hopeful endeavor. Your role as an egg donor, and potentially as part of a team including a gestational carrier, is a profound act of compassion and generosity. You’re not just helping to create a child; you’re making it possible for intended parents to experience the joy of parenthood and share their love with a new little one.
