Building Your Family with the Help of an Egg Donor
At Giving Tree Surrogacy, we understand that every family-building journey is unique. If you are considering egg donation to grow your family, we are here to guide you with compassion, clarity, and world-class support.
Whether you need only an egg donor or both an egg donor and a gestational surrogate, our team is dedicated to making the process as smooth, informed, and empowering as possible.
What Is Egg Donation?
Egg donation is a process in which a healthy, fertile woman donates her eggs to help someone else create embryos. These embryos are then fertilized and transferred either to the intended mother or to a gestational surrogate.
At Giving Tree Surrogacy, we carefully select egg donors who are emotionally, physically, and mentally ready for the process. They are compassionate individuals who are committed to helping others experience the joy of parenthood.
