Over time, the term family has evolved to encompass more than just the traditional definition of mom, dad and children. Family looks different in modern society – and for the better. As the term has expanded in definition, so have the ways and methods for building a family.
The journey to building a family looks different for everyone - regardless of age, gender or sexual orientation. With the help of modern medicine, and with society progressing to the point where we can have more open conversations surrounding family and the act of creating one, fortunately, there are many options available for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples looking to start a family.Using an egg donor is a common method of family building for same-sex couples and LGBTQ+ individuals. Making this choice requires a lot of time and consideration – but plenty of resources can help one make the right choice.
Some factors that LGBTQ+ individuals and couples may want to consider when approaching an egg donation agency include inclusivity, support, a strong egg donor database, and transparent pricing models.
Inclusivity
It’s important to seek out an egg donor agency that openly supports the LGBTQ+ community. An agency that has experience working with members of the LGBTQ+ community is more adept at providing proper support and information that can help alleviate the different challenges LGBTQ+ members face in their paths to parenthood.

Egg Donor Database
Every LGBTQ+ couple and individual is unique, and thus their search for an egg donor hinges on many different factors such as ethnicity, eye color, education level and more. An egg donor agency should be able to provide a strong egg donor database, offering a wide variety of options when it comes to different preferences. It’s important that they are transparent about their egg donor screening protocols, as well as have easily available information about how the egg donation program works.

Transparent Pricing Model
Choosing an egg donor as a method of building a family is not only an emotional investment, it’s also a financial investment.

Full transparency allows for a better understanding of the costs involved in the process, easing some anxiety for future parents. At Signature, we go to great lengths in order to ensure that our pricing and all costs are highlighted so donors and recipients alike can have a full overview.
