Dear Synthia,

Here is a link to many agencies and infertility clinics in the USA. http://www.SurromomsOnline.com/links.htm Check them out and see if any of the programs appeal to you. If not, can always place an ad on SMO's classified section. There are many couples out there seeking an egg donor.

Synthia,

You can call local infertility doctors in your area, contact an egg donor program (check out the internet sites) or post an ad on the Surrogate Mothers Online ad page. Hope this helps.

Dear Sinthia,

I would try contacting some of the IVF clinics in your area. Since you're on the East Coast, the Cooper Institute would probably gladly help you. In the "Related Links" area here on SMO you can find agencies, attorneys, and doctors who are in the New Jersey area that would be glad to help you. I know there is an egg donation program in California called Creative Conceptions. But, I would suggest looking a little closer to home. There is monitoring and protocols and its nice to have that medical attention close by. Good Luck and if you need any more help, contact me.
