Egg Donation in Kansas City: Inadvertent Consanguinity
There are many considerations intended parents must make when choosing to use an egg donor to build and grow their family. One that is not talked about often, but is a consideration nonetheless is inadvertent consanguinity.
The definition of consanguinity is: of the same blood or origin; specifically: descended from the same ancestor. The real life concern for intended parents using an egg donor (or sperm donor) to build and grow their family is: “Will my child meet, fall in love with and marry his or her half-sibling?” The answer is, of course it is possible, but probably not likely.
What this topic does call into very careful consideration is the topic of disclosure to a donor-conceived child the fact that they are donor-conceived. There are many benefits of disclosing to a donor-conceived child the specifics of their conception. Preventing inadvertent consanguinity is one of them.

What Is The Ideal Age For An Egg Donor In Kansas City?
Using an egg donor to build and grow a family is a major life event for intended parents. It is a very expensive family building option so it is important that egg donors are healthy and fertile giving intended parents the best chances possible to conceive.
The biggest factor influencing an egg donor’s ability to be healthy and fertile is her age. That is why the ideal age for an egg donor is between the ages of 21 and 29. Age 29 cut-off helps eliminate the fertility decline that happens for all women around 30 years of age. The reason that most egg donors are not younger than 21 is that egg donors that are younger than 21 do not always understand the commitment and importance of being an egg donor.
