Finding an Egg Donor in Texas
Choosing an Egg Donor in Texas
Fertility Source Companies offers one of the largest databases of pre-screened, quality egg donors in the U.S. Our searchable database of egg donors is filtered according to various factors, such as personality, physical characteristics, geographical location, and more. Selecting the right egg donor is possibly the most important and challenging decision of your life. Knowing which qualities are important and prioritizing those at the top of your list is essential. Our guidance and support will enable you to make an informed choice.
Egg Donor Costs & Fees in Texas
Egg donation costs and fees in Texas vary depending on factors such as geographic location, donor expenses, and optional services, such as genetic testing. The agency fee requirement is $10,000, and the donor fee is approximately $8,000, but the donor fee may vary from donor to donor. Additional egg donor costs include legal retainers, donor travel expenses, and other out-of-pocket expenditures incurred by donors.
How Egg Donors Are Screened in Texas
Every donor in our database has undergone extensive screening. Fertility Source Companies does an initial assessment to ensure donors meet each of our requirements. A personality profile and lifestyle assessment are included in our screening process. After a donor is selected, there are several in-depth evaluations that are conducted, including:
A psychological evaluation by a mental health professional
An analysis of the donors’ commitment level
A physical assessment by a healthcare professional (including a fertility evaluation)
Blood work (to test for any unknown physical, sexually transmitted, or genetic disorders and check for drug use)
A background check
A medical records review by our on-staff RN
Egg Donation FAQs for Intended Parents
The expected cost for an egg donor cycle in Texas ranges from $14,150 to a high of $27,650. This includes the agency fee, donor psychological evaluation, donor attorney consultation, donor insurance, escrow management fee, donor compensation, and estimated donor expenses. The cost of IVF is an additional amount that is charged by your fertility physician’s office.
Egg donor laws in Texas adhere to the 2002 version of the Uniform Parentage Act (UPA), which addresses all forms of assisted reproduction: egg donation, sperm donation and embryo donation. This act holds that:
– the donor is not the legal parent of the child.
– consent from both the intended mother and father must be in writing (however, the failure to have this in writing does not defeat legal parentage if, during the first two years of the child’s life, the man and woman resided with the child and held themselves out to be the child’s parents).
– if a divorce occurs before implantation, the former husband will not be considered the father, unless he consented to be the father to a child implanted after the divorce.
The State of Texas also requires health insurance providers to cover some in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures. Talk to your insurance plan provider for information on what fees are covered under your plan.
Yes, IPs can obtain financing through Fertility Source to ease the financial stress associated with egg donation.
The ability to have direct contact depends on the IPs and donors. At Fertility Source Companies, we take into account the views of the IPs and egg donors, in terms of whether they desire to have contact during the process.
The amount of time from donor selection to egg retrieval differs from one person’s journey to the next. In general, the process usually takes between 12 to 16 weeks.
