Manor employs a team responsible for recruiting and evaluating potential donors. Donors that meet our strict standards and requirements go through extensive medical and psychological evaluations. Those who pass all evaluations are accepted into the program and go through additional medical screening tests.
Yes. We're incredibly proud of our in-depth evaluations. A psychologist meets with each potential donor in our facility in Ukraine and Georgia. They make sure she fully understands the process of donation and has considered all the emotional implications of a donation for her and her family. They also ensure she's participating voluntarily and discuss her motivations for donating. All donors that participate in our Australian program also meet with an experienced Australian Counsellor, who hold membership with ANZICA (Australia New Zealand Infertility Counselling Association) to consider the Australian legislation and landscape and potential contact with the offspring born from the donation. Manor Baby will never accept a donor into the program unless we're sure she has considered and understands the implications of egg donation for her her family and any children born from her donation.

Yes! All donors have consented to their identity being released to any offspring born from the donation, once they turn 18 years of age ( or 16 years of age in Western Australia). All identifying information will be held with Manor Baby and the intending parents treating clinic. Depending on where the clinic is located, this information may also be held on centralised state and territory registers for the donor conceived offspring to access.
Women aged 21-31 are eligible to donate through Manor Baby's donor egg program.
Once potential donors are approved following their medical and psychological evaluations, our team asks them to provide blood samples for both medical and genetic testing. This includes screening for infectious diseases and genetic carrier status. All results are reviewed by our medical physicians who then approve which donors are qualified to donate eggs in the Manor Baby program. On average, only 55% of potential donors are accepted.
Egg donations help recipients who are unable to use their own eggs for a variety of reasons, for example: - Premature ovarian failure / Women with a low egg count / low-quality eggs - Women who have undergone chemotherapy and radiation therapies, resulting in a low egg count - Women who had a unilateral or bilateral oophorectomy - Egg donation may help LGBTQI+ couples/ singles to realise their dreams of parenthood.
