Welcome Prospective Egg Donors
Dear Prospective Donors,
Thank you for visiting Tiny Treasures to investigate the possibility
of impacting a loving couple’s life with the gift of egg donation.
Since infertility is an indiscriminate
condition, we are in search of women from all walks of life. To
help our couples pursue the opportunity of conceiving, we need women
from all ethnicities, every race, with any hair and eye color, varying
physical attributes, academic achievements and/or special talents.
We do require that our Egg Donors possess a strong sense of commitment,
the ability to demonstrate integrity and dependability, as well
as a candid humanitarian desire to assist an infertile couple/individual
in conceiving. Egg donation requires a serious contribution of time
and effort and involves undergoing medical procedures. Our Egg Donors
must be willing to commit to the entire egg donation process, from start to finish.
Egg donation has been described as one of the most powerful and
rewarding decisions a woman can make. We are here to help make the
entire process a wonderfully pleasant and fulfilling experience.
Tiny Treasures is a unique agency in that we recognize that
our Egg Donors’ commitments and responsibilities vary in accordance
with their daily lives. With this in mind, our agency does not attempt
to generalize the value of each individual’s time and effort
by designating a specific compensation fee for all of our Egg Donors.
Rather, we guide each Egg Donor in determining the distinct value of
their personal contributions associated with committing to the egg
donation process, taking into account factors such as child care
needs, lost wages, travel, time and effort, as well as associated
procedural risks and self-administration of injections. Therefore,
Tiny Treasures requires that all of our Egg Donors set their own
compensation fees. We ask that Egg Donors recognize that the more reasonable
their requested compensation, the sooner they will be matched with
Prospective Parents. We also ask that Egg Donors consider the fact that
egg donation is a very costly process for Prospective Parents and
can cause financial strain on many individuals who so desperately
want to have a child. As Tiny Treasures adheres to Egg Donor
compensation guidelines set forth by the American Society of Reproductive
Medicine, we require that all of our Egg Donor's compensation requests
strictly adhere to these guidelines.
Upon reviewing our Egg Donor Information and Application Packet, if
you determine that becoming a Egg Donor is the right decision for you,
your initial step is to complete the Egg Donor application.
Upon receipt
of the completed application, our staff will screen your information
and contact you with any further questions we may have. We require
that you mail us hard copies of a valid photo I.D., the required
signed releases/forms (located at the end of the application), and
documentation verifying your academic achievements (e.g., college
transcripts, SAT/ACT score reports, etc.). All other information,
including the completed application and 4-5 photos of yourself,
may be emailed to us. Egg Donors residing in Massachsuetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, or Maine may email us at newenglanddonors@tinytreasuresagency.com, while
Egg Donors residing outside of those four states may email us at nationaldonors@tinytreasuresagency.com. Since there is currently a high demand for Egg Donors, email is our
preferred method of correspondence, as this will expedite the review
process. We will, however, gladly accommodate requests to mail hardcopy Egg Donor
Information and Application Packets. Once your application has been
screened and you have been approved for acceptance into our program,
we will post your Egg Donor profile (minus identifying information) and photos
in Tiny Treasures' online Egg Donor Database. This database is
password protected, so that only Tiny Tiny Treasures'
Prospective Parents can view the information it contains. The time necessary
to match our Egg Donors with recipients can vary greatly, from days
to months. Egg Donors that opt to display their photos in our online
Egg Donor Database are generally matched faster than Egg Donors that choose not
to do so, but you do have the option of not posting your photos
in our Egg Donor Database if that is your preference. In this case, however,
we do reserve the right to email your photos to Prospective Parents
upon request.
Once a Prospective Parent indicates an interest in matching with
an Egg Donor, the Egg Donor is then notified and provided with a copy of
the Prospective Parents Profile. If the Egg Donor accepts the Prospective
Parents’ offer, both parties are then referred to separate
attorneys to facilitate the contractual requirements. The Egg Donor
will then move onto the actual Egg Donation Cycle.
