Surrogate Mothers Online Q & A
  • Q & A: Just Starting Out - Egg Donation

    For those just starting down the egg donation path. Topics may include finding the right match, pros and cons of anonymous vs. known donor, independent vs. and agency or broker, where to start, etc.

    4. I live in Toronto, Canada and am interested in this need the money financially - is this feasible - Dora in Toronto - Top

    Dear Dora,

    I really don't know whether egg donation in Canada is legal. I don't think it is legal to receive a fee for the donation. Being an egg donor is one of the most rewarding experiences, and should not be done just for the fee. If you are financially strapped, you may feel bad about the egg donation later on in life. This is something that you really want to do to help someone else create their family.

    I would suggest you visit SMO's related links site, and contact agencies and infertility clinics close to you in the U.S.
