Understanding Anonymous vs Open ID Egg Donor

One of the challenges of using an egg donor is making some critical decisions early on. The decision of whether to use an anonymous or known egg donor is a difficult one. It's essential to understand the differences between anonymous and known egg donation so you can choose the one that's best for you.

the difference between anonymous and open id egg donor

Anonymous Egg Donors

An anonymous donor is a person whose personal information can not be disclosed.


The donor's photo is not available in profile. The donor does not get any information about the recipient or the cycle where her biological material is used.

Known Egg Donors

Open ID is a choice for egg donors who do not want to keep their identity confidential. In this process, children born from the donor egg can learn the donor's identity when they reach 18 years of age. Also, it means that receipts can find out such indenting data about the donor as full name, country, city and address, contact phone number and email address.


In countries where certain authorities regulate the importation of biological material for infertility treatment, non-anonymous donors will be required to send identifying information to those authorities as part of the donation process.


The personal information may be provided only upon the prior request of an offspring at the legally defined age and in the presence of a document that confirms a biological connection between a particular donor and child.


In our catalogue, recipients can find donors with open personal information with photos.

How Choose Between an Anonymous and Open ID Egg Donors?

Donors with open personal information offer more benefits.

 

Although the child can only contact the specific donor once he reaches adult age, understanding that this is possible can be a significant reason he may choose to go for a non-anonymous egg donor.

 

In turn, anonymous donors may be a suitable option for those couples who do not plan to tell the child how he was conceived.

 

After selecting a donor, you should remember that it will be your child who will decide whether to contact the donor or not. And only if you choose an anonymous donor, your child will have no choice at all!
