Egg donation:

Dear Intended Parent(s),

Thank you for your interest in our egg donor program. Family Fertility Center can help you with all aspects of this family building option, including finding an egg donor, working with the IVF program that you have selected, necessary contractual arrangements and disbursing fees. We have a strong follow-up program so we can serve you until your egg donation cycle is complete.

At your initial visit, in our office or by telephone, we will discuss your needs and wishes in selecting the egg donor that will be appropriate for you. Family Fertility Center conducts careful psychological screening and orientation to the medical procedure while recruiting potential egg donors. Selecting an egg donor is one of the most important decisions in your life--not unlike choosing a lifetime partner. Our goal is helping you select a donor that best matches the important elements of your own identity. Our agency has a fifteen-year history of providing professional quality service in Northern California. As the director, I am an experienced psychiatric nurse (see attached C.V.) and conduct a careful face-to-face screening of both egg donors and surrogate mothers.

We recommend reading the articles posted at our web site. Over the years we have found that the steps involved in a donor cycle are complex and sometimes confusing.

*A copy of our "Ovum Donor Service Contract" will be available for review at initial consultation.

Please contact me for either a telephone consultation or an hour office visit to discuss how egg donation and FFC can help you build your family. Donor applications can be mailed to you after this appointment. You can choose to have this sent to you by email as a P.D.F. file or regular postal mail.

We have an album of online photos that you can review. Please click on the Donor Table link and complete the registration form. A password will be emailed to you so you can see the donor information. The password will be yours to keep. We do not change them. Call us if you lose yours.

We cherish this opportunity to help you build your family.

With warm personal regards,

M'lyn Gellens Butterfield, R.N., M.S.

Director
