All About How Egg Donation Works for the Recipient

Q. What sets Family Creations apart from other egg donor agencies?

A. Family Creations has developed a comprehensive program that fulfills the best interests of both our donor egg recipients and egg donors. We are fully committed to the success of our clients.


Financially Responsible

We understand the financial commitment entailed in selecting an egg donor agency and a donor, so we have created a cost structure to lower the financial risk. We collect a portion of the egg donation price when you select your donor and the remaining balance once we receive legal clearance from your attorney.

Constant Communication

We believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of any successful egg donation match, and we work every day to ensure that proper communication is achieved. As the recipient, questions about “how does egg donation work?” are always promptly addressed when you choose us. Many clients come to Family Creations after experiencing poor client service from other agencies. Rest assured, we look forward to client calls and emails and always promptly respond.


Q. As a recipient, how does egg donation work after I have selected an egg donor? How long until the egg retrieval takes place?

A. Once you select a donor, the process generally takes about two to three months. This approximate time frame can vary based on different factors related to a particular cycle.


Q. How does egg donation work contractually? Will I have a legal arrangement with my egg donor?

A. Yes. We will gladly refer you to an attorney specializing in third-party reproduction. They will draft and review the agreement with you, including details like egg donation price and timeline. We will also refer your donor to an attorney, who will review the agreement with them.

This contract is in place to protect both your and your donor’s best interests. This part of the egg donation price is paid directly to your attorney. Please contact Family Creations for more details.


Q. What if I’m having difficulty finding a physician? Can you help me find one?

A. Certainly! Family Creations has established relationships with fertility clinics all over the country. We would be glad to find you the best clinic and doctor to fit your needs.


Q. Does Family Creations work with single parents or gay couples?

A. Yes! We have many years of experience helping single parents and members of the LBGTQ community create the family f their dreams! As an agency, we believe that the right to have children should be available to anyone, regardless of age, sex, religion, ethnicity, nationality, or sexual orientation.


Q. As an egg donation recipient, how does confidentiality work?

A. Family Creations understands that confidentiality of all personal information is a high priority for many intended recipients and egg donors. Therefore, we do not reveal the donor’s last name to the recipient or any of the recipient’s personal information to the donor. Confidentiality is always a top priority.


Q. Where is your office located?

A. Family Creations helps people with surrogacy and egg donation around the world. We have physical locations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, Seattle, the Midwest, and Atlanta. While we would like to meet with all of our clients, we understand that schedules or locations might make that difficult. We are available by phone, secure video conferencing, and email to make our services accessible to everyone, regardless of location.
