As a potential Nurture donor, we know that you can\u2019t wait to help fulfil someone\u2019s dream of becoming a parent.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve finished your (very lengthy) application and your profile has been added to the database for the recipients to choose from. But, you wonder as you click \u2018submit\u2019, HOW do people choose an egg donor? And how can you make sure that they choose YOU?<\/p>\n
For many recipients, egg donation is a step in what is often a long, difficult journey to parenthood. Many of Nurture\u2019s recipients have endured years of unsuccessful fertility treatments, and the decision to use an egg donor is not always an easy one.<\/p>\n
But what does a recipient look for in their donor? Honestly, it\u2019s different for every single one.<\/p>\n
In South Africa, unless an egg donation has been arranged with someone you know personally (for example, a sister or a friend), the entire process remains strictly anonymous. That means that the recipient will never know your name or identity and will never see a picture of you as an adult (so you can cancel your photo shoot!).<\/p>\n
Their decisions are based entirely on your answers to the questions in your profile questionnaire, and on the oh-so-adorable baby pics you share with Nurture.<\/p>\n
Recipients might look for a donor who could look like them. Things like eye colour, hair colour and height might be important \u2013 if the recipient is a short, blonde woman with green eyes, she might look for someone who could resemble her.<\/p>\n
For other recipients, physical characteristics aren\u2019t really a consideration at all. They look for women who share similar interests and hold similar values \u2013 basically, someone they could see themselves being friends with.<\/p>\n
Do you like running? Play guitar? Does curling up with a good book sound like the best Friday night you could imagine? Do you love cooking? Often, it\u2019s how your personality shines through in your profile that helps a recipient to decide on you \u2013 so let your flag fly!<\/p>\n
And for some people, all they want to know is that their donor is healthy and (probably) not a serial killer.<\/p>\n
Sound like a lot? While we\u2019re taking care of our donors, we\u2019re also helping to work some matchmaking magic behind the scenes to make sure our recipients find the perfect match for them!<\/p>\n
So how do you make sure that someone chooses you?<\/p>\n
Simply put: This is absolutely not the time to be shy or modest. Be honest, be open, be thorough\u2026 Be unapologetically YOU!<\/p>\n
And, pick ADORABLE baby pictures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
