What is Egg Donation?
Egg donation is a highly specialized fertility treatment that allows healthy women to donate eggs in California to help others achieve pregnancy. At Babytree Surrogacy Agency, we connect intended parents with carefully screened egg donors, offering hope to individuals and couples facing infertility, early menopause, poor egg quality, or genetic conditions.

For those interested in becoming a surrogate, surrogacy in California requirements typically include having had a healthy pregnancy, being in good health, and completing medical and psychological screenings. In short, donating eggs provides your eggs without pregnancy, while surrogates carry and deliver a baby for intended parents.
Will it cost me anything to donate eggs in California?
No. You are covered for any expenses related to your donation. These typically include medical and psychological screening, medications, insurance, and any legal fees because you are entering into a legal agreement with the intended parents. Also covered are all your travel expenses to the In Vitro Fertilization clinic where your eggs are extracted. These can include airfare, ground travel and parking, meals, and lodging.
You may also choose someone who makes you feel safe and comfortable to accompany you through the process. Travel expenses for your companion, who will share a hotel room with you if needed, are covered. Medical research shows that donating eggs does not impact a woman's ability to conceive naturally in the future. During the process, fertility medications only stimulate the eggs that would otherwise be naturally released and lost during a cycle.
