First-Ever Egg Donor Web Portal Becomes One of The Largest
Resources for Aspiring Parents in the U.S.
Newly Launched Donor Network Alliance Achieves Company & Industry
Milestone of 1000 + Egg Donors
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
June 24, 2009 (Chicago, IL) – Through a unique and effective collaboration
of egg donor agencies through out the United States, The Donor Network Alliance
(DNA) - the industry’s first ever web-based collective of egg donors -
has quickly become one of the largest egg donation resources in the country with
more than 1,000 diverse and multi-cultural egg donor candidates.
Launched just over three months ago and already generating widespread industry
recognition, the DNA website is a robust portal of potential egg donors listed
with agencies throughout the entire U.S. In order to find the perfect donor,
the comprehensive yet easy-to-use database enables intended parents to search
specific donor parameters such as ethnicity, education, phenotype and more. The
system then automatically generates an email that is sent directly to the registered
donor agency of the individual donors.
Populating rapidly with egg donor candidates across the county, the simple functionality
of the DNA website not only streamlines the process, it also saves aspiring parents
a considerable amount of time and money during an already difficult and emotional
fertility journey. For participating agencies, it provides an increase in exposure
and expanded opportunities for their donors and intended parents.
Robin von Halle, DNA Co-Founder explains that the goal was to build a program
to give intended parents more control over their egg donor search process, as
well as create a positive unification that did not previously exist within the
industry. “We are delighted to bring together some of the most credible
and esteemed agencies across the country, while better serving the needs of the
infertility community. We have close to 2,000 additional donor candidates to
add to the website and it’s our goal to reach 8,000 by the end of the year,” she
adds.
DNA began with three competing egg donor agencies in Chicago (Alternative Reproductive
Resources (ARR), The Center for Egg Options Illinois (CEO) and ConceiveAbilities),
and now collaborates with agencies from California, Massachusetts, Texas, Washington
DC, Florida, Colorado, Arizona, Minnesota, Georgia and more. The website will
soon be launching internationally, in order to provide family building options
to many international fertility patients often restricted by limited resources
or reproductive laws in their own country.
Robin von Halle will be attending the 25th
Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in
Amsterdam, The Netherlands from June 28 - July 1 and will be available to
discuss this program and third party reproductive options in the U.S and abroad.
