Selecting An Egg Donor in Kansas City
When selecting an egg donor, there are several important points to consider. Before you start the donor selection process, it is important for you and your partner to consider what your preferences are, and what qualities mean the most to you.
This process is easier when you and your partner have answered the following questions:
- Do you wish to use an anonymous donor or a known donor?
- What physical characteristics are most important to you?
- What medical history information is most compatible with your own family’s history?
- What personality characteristics are most important to you?
- Does the donor’s location matter to you? Local donors can save thousands of dollars eliminating high travel costs and higher donor and agency fees.

Pathways To Parenthood Egg Donors In Kansas City Help Give Hope To Families In Need
When Pathways To Parenthood opened for business in May of 2013, our hopes were to be able to connect quality egg donor candidates and families that were in need of an egg donor to build and grow their family. After years of working as a licensed counselor with women and couples that struggled with the emotional pain of infertility, I understand the hope using an egg donor to attempt conception gives those who need the help of others to build and grow their family. I personally witnessed the joy people experienced when finally realizing their dreams of becoming parents, due in large part to the generous gift of an anonymous young woman who was willing to be their egg donor.
We are happy and excited to say that the first family that conceived using a Pathways To Parenthood egg donor is about to have a baby! The joy that we feel knowing we were able to help a family realize their dream of becoming parents pales in comparison to the joy I know they will be feeling on the birth day of their long awaited child. My hope is that we can help many more families realize their dreams in 2014 and beyond.

Breaking Down The Egg Donation Process in Kansas City
Deciding that you will use an anonymous egg donor to build and grow your family is a big decision. It typically comes after experiencing years of failed attempts to conceive a child, and many disappointments and frustrations. It can be exhilarating at first to learn that utilizing an egg donor to build your family is even an option for you. And then comes all the rest…
What follows for most couples after the initial excitement after making the decision to use an egg donor, is the simple yet big question, “What next?” If you are like most people, you start by doing research and gathering information. If you have already begun the information gathering process about using an egg donor to build your family, the initial emotions of exhilaration and excitement have likely been replaced by confusion and uncertainty. When that happens it is important to take a deep breath and do what you do with any other big project or important life goal you have had before-break it down into smaller, manageable steps.
There are many steps in the process, but you can and should take it one step at a time. To learn more about building and growing your family through egg donation, contact Pathways To Parenthood today!
Fresh Cycle Donor Eggs in Kansas City vs Frozen Donor Eggs: Which Option is Best?
Trying to decide whether doing a fresh in vitro fertilization cycle using an egg donor that you picked, being able to use all eggs retrieved from the cycle for your family building, or doing a frozen egg cycle by purchasing a lot of eggs from an egg bank, is not an easy decision to make. There are pros and cons to both options.
An important first step in the decision making process is to understand the differences between the options. Know the difference between a fresh cycle, a frozen egg cycle, and a thaw cycle. They are different, and important for you to understand. It is also very important to look at the decision in the context of your overall family building plan. Using frozen donor eggs CAN be a cheaper option, but only under certain conditions. It is important to understand what those are.
