S.E.E.D.S. , Surrogacy, Embryo and Egg Donor Services has been offering a comprehensive and successful Egg Donation program to recipients who are married, single, lesbian or gay since 1999.

S.E.E.D.S. specializes in matching Egg Donors with Recipients in New York State, the New York Metropolitan Area, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.

We have members of our staff who are fluent in French and Spanish and can provide services in French and Spanish.

Our Egg Donors reside throughout the United States, with a primary focus on the Northeastern United States.

Donor eggs offer the possibility of having a child to women whose ovaries do not produce viable eggs or who have had multiple IVF cycles and failed to achieve a pregnancy. By using In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) eggs that are obtained from the ovaries of an Egg Donor are fertilized with the sperm provided by the partner or a donor and are transferred into the uterus of the recipient mother. Unlike surrogacy or adoption, egg donation gives the recipient the wonderful opportunity of experiencing pregnancy and giving birth.
