I work exclusively with Northwest fertility clinics and with egg donors who live within driving distance of the Seattle Metropolitan area.  I work with couples from all over the United States and Canada.  If you don’t already have an established relationship with a Seattle- or Tacoma-area clinic, you will need to establish one in order to select an NWFC  donor.   Please contact me for further details; I am happy to make recommendations.  If you are a recipient, live out of state and have a working relationship with a fertility clinic near you, you will only need to come to Seattle on a few occasions – generally once for an initial screen and later for the actual transfer.

I recruit egg donors exclusively from the Northwest because it makes the already complicated egg donation process more predictable, efficient and rewarding for everyone involved. You’ll always know where your donor is in the egg donation process because your donor will be monitored at your fertility clinic -- not some unfamiliar facility halfway across the country where the donor happens to live. Plus, matching you with a local egg donor means you won’t be burdened with the additional cost of travel, meal and lodging expenses required for out-of-area donors over-and-above their compensation.

I only accept a donor into my program after a careful, thorough and disciplined evaluation. First and foremost, I study her health and her entire family’s health and work within the medical guidelines of the fertility clinics to ensure that my donors will meet your clinic’s specific donor health criteria. Next, I look at overall personality and intelligence. Most of my donors have a Bachelor’s degree or higher or are currently working to attain a degree. I assess her maturity level, past history of goal follow-through, and other defining characteristics that make a “good” donor. I also look for donors that have demonstrated a high level of accomplishment in areas such as academics, sports, the arts, and volunteer efforts.
