Meet Our Egg Donors

    At Cryos, we are proud to have a large selection of egg donors from a wide variety of ethnicities and races. Here we discuss why women choose to donate and how they are selected as donors.


      Egg donors at Cryos go through an extensive selection process to ensure that they are physically and psychologically fit. Here a Cryos donor tells about her personal decision to help families by becoming an egg donor. 

      Anna & her motivation for donating

      I’m a donor because I’ve seen so many different perspectives of the egg donation process. I worked with an individual who struggled to create a family. Later in life, I met someone who was the product of an egg donation. I thought it was a wonderful, beautiful thing that I wanted to be a part of

      Who are the egg donors?

      The Cryos egg donors are all very different, but they are all altruistic individuals. Our donors are students and/or woman who have started their own families and want to help others be able to do the same. All the egg donors are between 18 and 30 years old. The donors are all individuals who are either pursuing higher education, have a degree, or have a successful career. As you can see from their profiles, they have a wide range of professions, interests and hobbies. Many of our donors are current students attaining their bachelors, masters or PhDs.   

      Orlando has a diverse population, and our donor pool reflects that. This means that the Cryos donors have many different ethnical backgrounds and phenotypes. Through our website, you can search for different donor attributes in the Egg Donor Search to see our selection
