Matching:
Our experience has taught us that finding the right egg donor or surrogate mother is the key to helping prospective parents leave the sadness of infertility behind and approach parenthood with love and excitement. We have complied extensive profiles on all of our Surrogates and Donors for your review. Donor files include each woman's complete family history plus narrative information about her personality.
Surrogate files include additional information on each woman's family, her reasons for wanting to be a surrogate mother, and relevant health history including prior pregnancies. Generally prospective parents look for women with whom they share similar values and interests.
These women have all been:
· Selected as possible egg donors or surrogate mothers because of their sense of social responsibility, intelligence, health, and psychological and financial stability.
· Upon being matched they should be screened by a licensed psychologist.
· All Surrogates and Donors are well informed of the medications and procedures involved through written materials, phone consultations, and personal and interviews by the AngelMatcher Owner and RE you will be using.
Confidentiality of all parties is at the up most maintained at all times. In the case of donors, semi-anonymity is most common, the potential donor and prospective parents meet either in person or via phone conversations set up by AngelMatcher but do not exchange last names, addresses, or phone numbers. However, when desired, AngelMatcher can maintain anonymity between all participants.
With surrogates, the relationship is an intimate one, so all parties know each other and often spend time together before, during, and even after the birth.
