Egg donation

AGENCIES
In keeping with the prohibitions of the AHR Act which ban payment (beyond reimbursement for genuine expenses resulting from the act of donation) and advertising for human eggs, we do not list agencies, websites or other 'matching services' offering egg donation services. If you do decide to work with one of these businesses, please keep in mind that they are part of a totally unregulated industry (whether in Canada, the USA or elsewhere), so be sure to take every precaution you can to protect your own interests as well as those of any child(ren) who may be born.
