The World Egg Bank sponsors the organization Parents Via Egg Donation (PVED.org), a unique and critical source of information for potential recipients. PVED, whose tag line is “Changing the World One Baby at a Time”, has a very comprehensive website, offering blogs, informative articles, reading lists and FAQs. The scope of recipient information is very broad, including decision making, emotional support and other resources.
Topics which are covered in-depth, include: LGBT family building, legal aspects of third party reproduction and international options. Embryo donation, both domestic and international, is also discussed. The pregnancy experience, particularly relevant for women over age 40, and the children’s health and emotional wellbeing are also discussed in detail.
Our founder Diana Thomas is featured in the section under Egg Banking, offering recipients basic information about using vitrified oocytes vs. fresh oocyte donation, and a bit of the history of TWEB.
This is a fantastic website which we highly recommend for infertility patients. Check it out!
