An egg donor agency is the liaison between the egg donors and the intended parents

If you’re a same sex couple considering creating a family, one of the first steps is to contact an egg donor agency.  ”An egg donor agency is the liaison between the egg donors and the recipients otherwise known as intended parents,” explains Robyn Perchik, from Beverly Hills Egg Donation.
“We recruit , screen, and interview donors. From selecting the donor to the egg retrieval, we help guide the intended parents through the whole process. Although we help make the arrangements, the legal , psychological or genetic screening of the donors and the medical aspects of the treatment cycles are performed by appropriate independent outside parties,” say Perchik.
“Once the match has been established between the donor and the intended parent, the medical team takes over, but we remain available to help with logistics and facilitate communication with the intended parents.” ”Our agency fee includes psychological screening and genetic counseling, as well as health insurance for the donor,” explains Perchik. “If a pregnancy does not occur and a couple desires a new donor, we offer one free rematch with no additional agency fee. If a third match (second rematch) is necessary there is a small administration fee. We believe that Beverly Hills Egg Donation (BHED) is the only agency that offers a free rematch.”
Although many couples make all the arrangements via phone and internet, “we are happy to meet with intended parents to try to de-mystify the process,” says Perchik.  ”It does not matter if the couple contacts the doctors first, or the surrogacy agency, or the egg donor agency. We are all partners in the process. If desired, we help couples find excellent doctors to work with.  We will, upon request, facilitate meetings with the donors if requested by the recipients. They could be in person, or on Skype, with one of our staff in attendance.”
