Becoming an Egg Donor:

Circle Surrogacy has many egg donors who return to offer their gift again and again. In addition, many of our current and former egg donors refer other women to our program. Because there always are Intended Parents hoping to be matched with donors, Circle also places ads to recruit new donors into the program. Perhaps you are here because of one of those ads or found us through an Internet search.

Once you have found Circle Surrogacy and perused our website, we encourage you to go to the FAQ's before completing the online form to determine if you are a strong candidate for egg donation. If you still have initial questions prior to completing the online form, you can call our office at 1-800-287-1713.

Circle will then email you a detailed questionnaire for you to submit, along with photos of yourself, your children, or anything else you feel will best portray you to the Intended Parents. You will be required to offer very specific information about your own health background, and that of your parents and grandparents. Remember this questionnaire and these photos will be your introduction to the Intended Parents, so be candid, and give them the opportunity to "get to know you" in that way.

You will understand that Circle Surrogacy must conduct in-depth background checks, financial and criminal, on all potential egg donors. Also at this point, you will begin to be interviewed by a social worker who needs to learn as much as possible about your goals and motivation. This is also your chance to ask questions and learn about the process.

When you have completed all of these steps and are approved as a donor, then the Circle Surrogacy staff will begin the careful and exciting process of matching you to Intended Parents.
