Guide for intended parents

European egg donors who travel to your clinic

Why so many intended parents in the United States look for a European donor, what you can expect from ours, and how we bring her to your clinic with every detail covered.

By Suma Fertility team ·

Searching for European egg donors usually means one of three things: you want a donor whose background and features match your family, you want a fuller profile than the ones available locally, or you want a known or ID-release donation and the rules at home do not allow it. Suma Fertility was built around that search. Our donors live mainly in Spain, and they travel to your clinic for a fresh cycle.

01What makes our European donors distinctive

  • Full profiles. Education, family history, interests, photos and the medical and genetic screening your clinic requires. You see who she is, not just a code.
  • Rigorous selection. Age 18 to 30, at least 1.65 m, healthy lifestyle, emotional stability, and a complete medical, psychological and genetic evaluation. Only a fraction of applicants join the program.
  • Pre-screened before travel. Blood tests, hormone levels and an ultrasound are done in her home city before anything is booked, so you do not pay for a trip that leads nowhere.
  • Your choice of arrangement. Known, semi-open or anonymous donation, depending on the law of the country where the cycle takes place and on what both parties agree.
  • Motivated and accompanied. Our donors describe the experience as something they share with other donors and with a team that stays close before, during and after the trip. A donor who feels cared for is a donor who follows the protocol.

02How she gets to your clinic

You keep your medical team. We organise everything around the donor:

  1. Case review and matching. We go through your clinic's requirements and your preferences and present profiles from our private database, or start a personalised search.
  2. Pre-screening at home. The tests your clinic asks for, done in Spain, with results shared with your clinic.
  3. Legal and travel. The donor agreement, drafted with experienced attorneys and reviewed with independent legal advice for the donor; flights, accommodation and insurance; a companion if she wishes.
  4. Stimulation and retrieval at your clinic. She follows your clinic's protocol on site, with our team in daily contact.

Journeys take around three months on average, depending on screening, availability and your clinic's calendar. See the full process in our guide to international egg donation with a traveling donor.

03The guarantees that come with every donor

  • Healthy Embryo Guarantee: if no healthy embryo is achieved, a new cycle is offered at no additional agency fee.
  • Donor Replacement Guarantee: if the donor cannot proceed for medical or legal reasons, a new donor at no additional agency fee.

04What it costs

The financial structure is clear from the first conversation: agency fee, donor compensation (typically USD 5,000 to 25,000, higher for repeat or exceptional donors), travel expenses and any third-party costs. Payments can go through an escrow account if you prefer.

05European or Latin?

Many of our donors are Spanish; others come from Latin America and live in Spain or travel from their home countries. If your family is looking for a specific background, read about our Spanish and Latin egg donors or ask us: a personalised search through our network of universities, fertility partners and clinics is part of the service.
