How do I gain access to the Egg Donor database?
How do I gain access to the Egg Donor database?

There are two ways to gain access to our database. You can fill out a quick questionnaire online and COSTA Group  will contact you shortly to activate your account so you can view our Donors. The second option is to call our office directly. COSTA Group  will be happy to help you fill out the questionnaire and provide you with a name and password to log in.

What does it mean for an Egg Donor to be placed "on hold"?

This means that a Donor is currently in the process of being matched with another client. If you would like to be placed on the Donor’s “waiting list” please speak with your Case Manager. Your Case Manager will contact you if the match does not materialize. Another possibility is that this Donor has placed her profile on hold because she is temporarily unavailable to commit to a cycle but plans to in the near future.

If an Egg Donor is available, you can place her on a temporary hold for five (5) business days at no cost to you while you decide if she is the Donor you want to work with. A Surrogate can also be placed on a 3-day courtesy hold if she has approved your profile. She will also be placed on a 3-day hold following your meeting to decide whether you want to secure the match.

We hold ourselves to the highest industry standards

Egg donation and surrogacy are relatively new advances in medical technology. Consequently, we use the rules that govern the American Society of Reproductive Medicine as fundamental parameters to follow, and we also follow the standards set forth by SEEDS, the Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy. We believe in ethical and transparent egg donation and surrogacy journeys.

Selection of egg donation cycle for Keshijia
Standard Egg Donation
Standard Egg Donation

Standard egg donation allows you to get as many eggs as possible from one retrieval. If you are looking to have more than one child, we highly recommend a standard egg donation cycle. Pro: You receive all of the eggs from the cycle. Con: You are 100% responsible for the cycle cost.

Shared Cycle Egg Donation
Shared Cycle Egg Donation

Shared Egg Donation is a cost effective way to cycle an egg donor. Intended Parent(s) are matched with another Intended Parent(s) in order to reduce the cost of an Egg Donation cycle. All Intended Parent(s) will share incurred expenses. The Intended Parent(s) will mutually pick a Donor, then The Genesis Group will synchronize their cycle so both parties can potentially have a fresh transfer, and equally split the egg yield. Pro: Cost Effective Con: You only receive 50% of the egg yield

Frozen Egg Bank
Frozen Egg Bank

Frozen egg bank guarantees that you will have viable mature eggs. This process saves you much needed time. You will typically save three months on average. You will also not run the risk of finding out your donor has empty follicle syndrome because the eggs have already been harvested. We have the eggs available now to be shipped to clinics within the U.S. Pro: You save time and reimburse agency for mature eggs only Con: You only get a limited amount of eggs.

Timetable for expectant parents and surrogates
Application & Interview

We will schedule an extensive consultation to discuss the surrogacy process with the Intended Parent, after which they will need to complete a profile application prior to meeting with a Surrogate.

Match Meeting
02.Match Meeting

Once mutually interested, we will facilitate an in-person or online meeting between the Intended Parents and Surrogate to determine compatibility.

Official Match
03.Official Match

If both parties wish to move forward after the meeting, the Intended Parent submits their signed retainer documents and fee to secure their match.

Establishment of Third Party Escrow
04.Establishment of Third Party Escrow

Once matched, the Intended Parent will need to establish and fund a third-party escrow to cover their surrogate expenses.

Medical Screening
05.Medical Screening

The Surrogate and her partner (if applicable) will undergo a medical screening appointment at the Intended Parents’ IVF clinic to determine if the Surrogate has any issues that would preclude her from being a Surrogate.

Legal Clearance
06.Legal Clearance

Once the Surrogate has been medically cleared to proceed with the surrogacy, the drafting and execution of the legal contract between the Intended Parents and Surrogate will begin.
