Getting started with egg donation and/or surrogacy, recipients and intended parents are often overwhelmed with options and information. Where to begin?!
While SART is the best place to find a fertility clinic near you, and includes success rates, etc. SEEDS is a great place to find many other resources, specifically agencies.
What is SEEDS?
“SEEDS is a nonprofit organization founded by a group of egg donation and surrogacy agencies, whose purpose is to define and promote ethical behavior by all parties involved in third party reproduction.”
SEEDS members agree to uphold the Standards for Ethical Conduct and their trainings and conferences include topics regarding financial, legal, ethical and mental health matters.
The SEEDS directory is a convenient way to find agencies, lawyers, escrow companies, mental health professionals that are committed to the ethics in egg donation and surrogacy arrangements.
Now isn’t that a great place to start?
