Egg Donation Privacy: Anonymous or Open Donation – What to Expect

Will I know who receives my eggs?

Summary: No for anonymous donations.

Answer: 
Most donations are so-called “anonymous donations.” In this case, information related to personal identity will be removed when your profile is presented to the intended parents. Likewise, the identifying information of recipients will also be kept private. At Patriot Conceptions, we respect the privacy of both parties, and confidentiality is ensured and protected by legal contacts. However, some donors may opt in for an “open donation.” In such cases, we would be more than happy to facilitate your meeting with recipients if all parties agree to it.
