Egg Donation by State

If you’re considering egg donation or becoming a parent through assisted reproductive methods, it’s important to know that state laws where the egg donor resides can impact the process.

Is Egg Donation Legal in Every State?

Yes, but laws regarding compensated egg donation can vary by state. While most states have no specific legal restrictions, it’s always important for intended parents and donors to consult with legal professionals familiar with reproductive law to ensure they are complying with any relevant regulations.

Are There Limitations for Intended Parents?

There are generally no nationwide limitations for intended parents considering using donated eggs, but certain factors may affect the process based on where the intended parents or egg donors reside, including state laws, and clinic and agency policies. But no matter where you live, EggDonors4All can help. We work with egg donors from across the country, so even if you live in a state that restricts egg donation payments, we can still match you with a qualified donor from another state.

Egg donation is a process where a woman (the egg donor) provides one or several eggs (also known as oocytes) for purposes of assisted reproduction, with the eggs being fertilized in the laboratory. Once fertilized, the resulting embryos are transferred to the recipient’s uterus to initiate a pregnancy, or they can be cryopreserved (frozen) for future use.
